This is so outstanding in its grasp of our situation, respect for our origins, and thoughtfulness in how we can responsibly deal with it, that I will share it as broadly as I can. Thank you for this beautiful message about the foundation of Our Great American Experiment in which civic virtue is a resource we can each draw upon and contribute to as well. I could go on for many more paragraphs, and will not. I will, however, anticipate your next contribution to the dialogue we so desperately need.
I have appreciated your father’s thoughtful and insightful writings for many years now, and was thankful to find that he has continued his efforts through Substack following his retirement from the Arizona Republic.
He has a talent that he has clearly shared and cultivated in you, and while I don’t always share every aspect of the views held by either of you, I respect your thoughtful and well reasoned views and look forward to each writing that you share. Keep up the great work, and thank you!
I truly enjoyed your perspective. Funny I’d just read an article (WAPO) of a mother and son who, after the son went to a specialized school for his, learning disabilities, went from his conservative family views to a more liberal political position. This caused he and his mother a lot of turmoil in their personal relationship. Turns out they didn’t let politics ruin their relationship. Personally, I’m scared to death of another Trump term and agree, I don’t think he’ll ever leave if elected again. Why aren’t Democrats asking, why are elections valid only Republicans win? I really enjoy your newsletter. Thank you.
