Writing is hard work and strenuous labor usually pays off.  We are losing sight of that in America as a pernicious attitude of entitlement is shrouding the land.  Many Americans believe the country "owes" them.  It does not - despite the hollow promises and promotions from politicians.

 

"Confronting the Presidents" is a good book, entertaining and fair-minded.  If you love your country, you must take the time to learn about it.  Our leaders were flawed, as all humans are.  Sorry to offend you narcissists.

 

Despite our divided country, I maintain that most folks are patriotic; they want the best for their fellow citizens as well as themselves.

 

The key to patriotism is knowledge, honesty, and compassion.  We have had 45 presidents.  Most were patriots, although not all.  Some were cowards and corrupt agents.

 

Happy that "Confronting the Presidents" is succeeding. That's thanks to the folks, the patriots. You guys are the best.
