Slavery is also a black mark against the British, the French, the Portuguese, the Spanish and the other countries who brought slaves here. We seem to absorb all of the blame for slavery. That is an injustice of the worst kind.
Sometimes we pool resources into a distribution channel for the betterment of everyone because the cost of letting people fail is higher than the cost of working on making things better for everyone. We vaccinate our kids and fill our potholes and disinfect our water and educate our children and put out fires and make sure everyone is saving somewhat for the day they stop being able to work. The CEC is going to spend the next two years trying to paint that as “socialism”. When they start trying to kill Medicare and SS we will see how quickly the bootstrap Wild West bucanner types hold the line.
Conservatives don’t have a monopoly on patriotism. But most liberals don’t subscribe to the meaningless cheeseburger flag hugging brand of showiness some of you equate with loving a country. sorry.
