While I have little use for unrestrained government, and its certain excesses, I love the principles upon which this country was founded. An education in, and restoration of, those precious precepts will resolve most of our present problems.
Yet, I fear, no degree of freedom–no amount of prosperity–will satisfy a resentful leftist utopian like Frank.

An invented nation founded on “principal” as in an executive officer (or inflated presidential power and submission to the rich and shameless) or as in capital with interest and due as debt?? And not on “geography?” Does this mean the states are meaningless entities and therefore no human could ever be illegal by crossing some imaginary boundary? Is this why we are denounced as “imperialist” when we invade and occupy other lands since we are not bound by geography? If we are held to higher expectations, then why are we offended when others want to hold us accountable for, say, torture, bombing indiscriminately and killing innocent civilians (and calling it “collateral damage”) It cannot be because we are “above the law” since being a lawful nation is one of the principles unless, of course, the laws are unjust such as the laws of segregation and the laws that protect privilege in a country based on freedom and equality.
