Our Canadian neighbor clearly takes except with Trump calling it the 51st state; Canada’s role in WWII was probably their most significant presence in a world conflict, entered only as a member of the Commonwealth. Canadians in general do not understand American ideals at our core as we underestimate their stubbornness. Loathe to admit that the NHL would only exist for the wealth of the American ownership, what started with 6 teams is now, well more wealth than any Canadian could conceive post WWII. The Socialism reeks and we smell it in Detroit; if America fails, so will they. I am greatly disappointed in my northern neighbor. I use to share so much in common, a tunnel or bridge, a driver’s license we were in a different country in 5 minutes, watching hockey, drinking beer and having a great time. That Canada is gone forever I am afraid but America is not. We are indeed both North and South, woven from the same fabric. Love this essay❤️🇺🇸
I think some 'Americans' would like to believe that 'America' has a shared heritage but the instant anyone starts to specify what that 'heritage' is, at least a third of 'America' is going to object.
'Shared Heritage' is self-comforting at this point, not a description of reality.
The last poll I saw about American 'values' put 'making money' as the most shared value.
Their still trying to pretend they've been they've been spreading democracy when most people now see that in fully definable technical-mechanical terms capital "G" Globalism has been and is one profoundly and aggressively de-democratizing projects in all of history in its intensity, and in its scope, since that scope covers so much of the world, it quite simply the *most* de-democratizing project in all of history. And I will say this about it, though, its actually pretty honest about that and has been the whole time, heck, during the 1990s pretty much all of its core organizations communications outputs were littered with words like "de-politicization". I wonder if still saying these things even though most all of their audience now knows it to be false could be taken as a signal of something?
Theodore Roosevelt’s hyphenated American speech hits it on the head: it doesn’t matter where you came from, once you are here you must be 100 percent committed to embracing and supporting the legacy of liberty given by those who fought the revolution. For that, you need to understand that it is a legacy, not just an idea. The grandchildren will intermarry, and they will be the American nation.
I understand the idea that America is just a inspired idea The error in his thinking is idea ‘s become a movement and movement become foundation of something concrete. I believe we as a nation is more then just and idea because we become what people see happens when the idea grows into something more. We become the idea and self evident truth of what America truly is.
Wonder what Mr. Brooks would think of the following sentiment, "You tell our Democrat friends we are not fighting for n!gg&rs. We are fighting to preserve the Union."
“They take a sentiment that is noble in time of war — we take care of our own — and apply it in general to mean that we don’t have to take care of the starving children in Africa; we can be cruel to those we don’t like. Trumpism is a giant effort to narrow the circle of concern to people just like us.”
Yes, this is correct, and it’s not a problem at all, it’s absolutely necessary and all who oppose it must be crushed.

I recall seeing awhile back that up till even 1960, over 70% of Americans had ancestors back to the Revolution days.
