THREAD:
America is Lost

"America was never perfect.
Nay, far from it.
But it was, once, a great nation.
It has ceased to become so.
...

1/

"If it has any chance of regaining
even a semblance of its former stature
it will not because of its Constitution,
the land upon which it rests,
its economy,
or any braggadocio,
- and certainly not its military..."

2/

"No, if America is ever to become great again
it will be because of its ethics,
its empathy,
and how it conducts itself,
amongst its own people and upon the world stage..."

3/

"For every country is fundamentally comprised
not of places or things,
but by the character of its people.
And in these days, as in all times
it is moral courage that is needed
much more so than any physical courage."
