Problem is, the "idea of America" is prone to as many interpretations as, say, the "meaning of the Bible"... Unfortunately, the dominant modern interpretations have far less to do with Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Abe Lincoln than they do with J.P. Morgan, Allen Dulles, Zbig Brzezinski and Newt Gingrich. War = "peace", wage slavery under cartel capitalism with no social safety net = "liberty", and extortion = "diplomacy".

How valid is the ideal of Jeffersonian democracy when it's been turned into a 24-hour cable reality show??

I love the ideals that once represented America, but I'm not sure they live here anymore.
