<and I think we do the right thing or try to do the right thing most of the time> Then you are poorly informed. Unless you are talking about The People, who can be cynically mustered around false and arrogant actions by bending truth, then MANY times things are NOT as they seem or as we wish they were. It is odd that Prescott Bush was one of the few people who could do business with the Nazis during the whole of WWII, for instance. Does acknowledging that make me a Nazi lover? No. But denying that people like Randolph Hearst existed as gross manipulators of the truth, or that the Indians weren't persecuted by Missionaries makes one stupid in their politics. I'm simply tired of lies that are aimed at making the country look good. This is a great country and the PEOPLE are great. Ill-informed and lied-to but great most of the time. As a student of history, one can find all sorts of things that aren't as they seemed at the time. We'd all be better off if we simply acknowledge reality and moved on, avoiding the root cause in the future. You seem to not want to question motives. History shows you'd better.
