The best of America

There is a quality that unites the greatest Americans.  Thomas Jefferson had it.  So did Abraham Lincoln.  Several more come to mind.  Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain).  Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  John Steinbeck.  John F. Kennedy.  Martin Luther King, Jr.  Barack Hussein Obama.  And Al Giordano.

That quality is the ability to express in words the essence of what it means to be American.  To use the most powerful weapon in the world - ideas - to inspire each of us to re-dedicate ourselves to the American ideal.  The profoundly radical idea that we can be better than we are.  That what unites us is greater than what divides us.  This is the essence of the America I love.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
