Dear Editor,
“Liberal” has become “literal.” History is therefore irrelevant. How dishonest. The term “Make America Great Again” baffles people who only see in one direction and judge history by today’s terms … be it religious or political. In other words, historical hypocrisy.
“Making America great” was fueled by a spirit unrestrained by the past: Overcoming man and nature with new possibilities … railroads, steel, oil, cars, airplanes, radios, television, defeat of fascism and Nazis, DNA, integrated circuits, etc.
The “Green New Deal” gets the cart before the horse. It’s a step in the right direction, but can’t be shoved down people’s throats. Who pays? If it works out, with 700-mph trains, one could commute 500 miles in 42 minutes.
America is not a lifeboat, it is a beacon. May American dreams remain unrestrained, practical and great.
