America is having an identity crisis, forgetting the ideal that is our philosophical core: that here would be a place where anything would be possible for anyone. The more we've strayed from that the more we have forgotten, and the more we've forgotten the more we have strayed

No, liberal pundits are having an integrity crisis, choosing to ignore the REALITY that we are a nation of laws. No honest American wants to stop peaceful immigrants from entering USA legally. After all, our First Lady @FLOTUS is an immigrant!

Surely that philosophical core has never been real, and always conditional. Not *really* everyone. Perhaps sincerely clearing up the wreckage of the past might be a way forward.

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.

It's an ideal; it's never been fully actualized but it's the job of every generation to further it. There has been evil yes, but others have met the challenges to eradicate it and now it's our turn. From Abolition to Suffrage to Civil Rights, what others have done now we must do.

"Anything is possible" should not be defined only in terms of material acquisitions, and the extent to which it has is exactly the forgetfulness to which I'm referring.
