Conservatives tend to emphasize more of America has done right & progressives tend to emphasize more of what America has done wrong. The higher truth lies in realizing both: loving our ideals and possibilities enough to be brutally honest with ourselves about what has gone wrong.

Thank you for mentioning this, for being so aware and for teaching our nation. It is not that we focus on the wrong but that the wrong must be exposed and admitted by all of us in order for it to be transformed.

I disagree with that. I’m not a conservative, but I agree with Eisenhower who said “the American mind at its best is both liberal and conservative.” Let’s not confuse conservatism with corporatism.

That’s a relatively recent development, however. The Republican party was not always like this, even in my lifetime. There are high minded conservative values as well as high minded liberal ones. Both parties used to adhere to them more.
