Beautifully written and goes to the heart of the matter.

Whether Alexis De Tocqueville said or not 'America is great because America is good', it's a fact. The further we fall from being great directly corespondents to how far we stray from being good.

Our Judeo-Christian heritage is being trampled on, many Americans only attend church twice a year. I blame much of that on the church, many have become entertainment centers with canned 38 minute 'messages' that teach nothing.

Thank you AMUSE, for a hard hitting piece. If pastors would read nothing but this article every Sunday America could possibly be saved.

I smelled a rat when sometime in the late ‘90s or early 2000s I was informed by smug lefties that America was no longer a melting pot where every culture added its own unique bit of flavor to the overall American fondue, but rather a tossed salad where every ingredient remained itself but made a delicious salad. Unfortunately, a tossed salad made of utterly disparate ingredients tastes like crap.

Wow!! Can someone please take this and change it from essay form to a small paperback booklet titled "USA Owners Manual"?

It would give the overall description of the country, list the possible problems, discuss required maintenance to prevent break downs, and troubleshoot repairing the problems, just like the one that comes in the glove compartment of your new car. Then make 535 copies, beautifully gift wrap each one, and deliver to each US Congress member in the last day of session before they break for the Holidays.

Once again, you have captured the problem and offered solutions with intelligence and clarity. Would that all people in America read and digest this information so we can return to integrity and civility. Thank you 😊

This is a tremendous article and word perfect. Unfortunately, the Biden administration allowed twenty million intruders, who had no intention to assimilate, to barge into our country. They must be removed, along with all those who have been here for years and have made no effort to become Americans.

I doubt it the author will find a single Democrat to agree with his plan to improve the lot for all of us — as well conceived as it is.
