I’m pretty sure that I’d disagree with you on the vast majority of your political views (based on the few posts you’ve placed on this site and, of course, within the basic framework of Western liberal democracy) but I do think we share many basic values though we’d probably describe them using different terms. Anyway, I find the internet the worst place to discuss politics so I try to avoid it at all costs but since I’ve been following your various sites for years and with this very trying year (I’d say our worst since 1968) I just felt the need to through a stone in this pond. I’m not very good at soaring patriotic rhetoric I so I’m just linking to this post which seems the closest expression of how I’m feeling on this very sad July 4.
