A great article by John Hawkins today that will lift your spirits about being an American during this time of leftist, anti-American contempt of our value system and history of foreign policy.

A couple of days ago, I had the misfortune of being on a BBC radio show with an American college professor who sounded like he had read one too many Noam Chomsky books.

Let me give you a short impression of the guy: “Blah, blah, blah, racists! Blah, blah, blah, of course Jeremiah Wright was right when he said…blah, blah, blah. No wonder people are angry at America!”

    America isn’t perfect, but we have a great dual divine/rational idea stated in our Declaration of Independence: God-given human rights, and government power derived through the consent of the governed. No other country on earth has a better declared principle for a just society.

    We also have many intellegent, creative and courageous people – and what grand natural beauty! So much to be proud of and thankful for.

    Perfect: no, Good: yes.
