The very of America is so audacious - that everyone is created equal by God and therefore should have equal power and opportunity - that every generation has to play out the age-old contest between royalism and democracy. The contest is re-enacted in every era. Now it’s our turn.

Obviously I left out a word in that tweet. It was supposed to say “the very idea of America.” Sorry!

Democracy? You’re endorsing the Socialist.

Democratic socialism. All he’s saying is let’s have universal access to healthcare and higher education. I’m a capitalist, but capitalism should have a conscience. The most evolved society is a blend of capitalism and socialism both. At our best, we already are.

No person is the same. Each has different gifts. We all come from different walks of life. If you are expecting life can be equal and fair for all you will always come up short and disappointed.
