Jack, as I sit here reading this all I can think is, "Everybody with half a brain should read it." I have a tendency to get in people's faces and that's not always good. But hell's bells! It makes so much sense, and sometimes I feel like standing in the middle of the street of my very small town and shouting, "Read Jack's post!" How far we have sunk since the temporary "coming together" after 9/11. Again, thank you for posting this and I will share it with everyone I know and many I don't know.
“Let’s be real: America in 1776 was a nation riddled with contradiction.”
To be honest, we weren’t actually a nation in 1776, just a few colonies, now states, cooperating to save their lives. The states were sovereign before there was a federal government.
I have always found it disheartening when Americans fixate on the things our country did wrong in the past, judging the past thru a modern day lens. The founders of our nation never said they were perfect. They founded the country to make “a more perfect union”. The task that was set out was for each coming generation to make it better and correct, or learn from, the wrongs of the past.

Great wakeup call! ❤️🤍💙
Well spoken Jack. I’m saving and sharing. Thanks.
