In my 75-years, I have been pleasantly surprised many times by people doing humane things. Americans are programed to rise to the occasion. I remain an optimist.
“Programmed”…
That’s because we were (operative word) a Judea-Christian based country for the majority of our existence.
At the present time we are being re-programmed…and not for the better.
"Pretty ironic to post a pic from Jan 6 in a 9/11 related meme thread." - that's all they've got, the "go to" phrase when they can't think of anything legit.
I have been disappointed from time to time. But the good that makes up the American spirit greatly outweighs the bad. Sure, we have the KKK. But we also have the St. Jude's Hospital.
Have the KKK ??
What, Al 14 of them?-
St. Jude’s… founded by Danny Thomas, a Roman Catholic Christian.
You know, the people that the current administration had labeled domestic terrorists.
DOZENS OF OUR ALLIES AND ADVERSARIES, INCLUDING CUBA BUT NOT TURKEY OR SYRIA OFFERED MATERIAL AND MORAL SUPPORT TO US AFTER THE 9-11 ATTACK. AFTER THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE, PRESIDENT BIDEN AUTHORIZED AN "IMMEDIATE U.S. RESPONSE" AND CONVEYED HIS PERSONAL CONDOLENCES TO THE PEOPLE OF TURKEY AND SYRIA. A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR. TIMES LIKE THIS REMIND ME WHY I LOVE MY COUNTRY.
