1/ America has always been an ironic mix - we’re based on the highest aspirational ideals, yet we ourselves have been at times the most violent transgressors against them.

4/ Anyone who thinks America is “all good,” sadly has it wrong. But anyone who thinks America is “all bad” has it wrong as well. We need to hold the realization of both. We in our time, like others before us, are called upon to make a choice for “the angels of our better nature.”

The Greatness of America has never been found in perfection. America is Great in comparison. We have clawed out from the royal, papal mess of our ancestors. We have bled to cleanse ourselves and others and have worked forward to our ideals, sanctuary for Liberty among our sins.

I don’t think we’ve ignored them. I admit that our public education system has ignored them in too many cases, and our govt as well. But some people act today as though they’re the first people to discover American history. It’s just not true.
