Ailes: I Know Why America Is Great
I was going along pretty well there until I got to the punch line-
"I’ve watched even some Americans systematically try to dismantle the greatest country on earth and yet we are still strong. We’re strong, because of three words I believe, God, country, family."
There are many nations whose people worship God, who love their country and are patriotic, and stand firmly with family values. The head of Fox New misses the point

Actually...no one would have noticed except that you just had to have the 'last word'!
You could have meant John Waters, and not Watter's World.
No harm...no foul!
"Back to the hole in the boat: America is losing its historic literacy. Recently some 556 seniors surveyed at 55 of the nation’s top colleges -- only 60 percent placed the American Civil War in the correct half of the 19th century. Only 34 percent identified George Washington as the American general at the Battle of Yorktown. Thirty-four percent thought it was Ulysses S. Grant. At 78 percent of the institutions polled, no history whatsoever was required in the undergraduate program. Historian David McCullough said, “We are raising a generation of young Americans who are historically illiterate.”
When I was in high school we had a course called 'civics'. We learned about the three branches of government, the balance of power, the Supreme Court, etc. When did this basic introduction to our government get dropped?
Don't answer...I know.
Don't be so rigid...people are a lot more complicated than Rand's characters.
Norman Rockwell's world can exist just fine alongside Rand's world...maybe both would benefit?
"When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it’s picked up by scoundrels—and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil."
We cannot afford to confuse cause and effect.
Talk down to me....
They don't have to be excluded for the exercise of freedom. Nor does their inclusion sign the death warrant for freedom. There is a wonderful marriage that can be had, albeit with the occasional 'spats', but nothing terminal.
