Land of the free

David Brooks writes some of the truest thoughts about America that I have read in a long time.

America the resilient

It's refreshing to read an article that celebrates our liberal values - meaning our love for freedom - as the fundamental strength of America and the democratic world.

Fear or hope. Repression or freedom. That is our fundamental choice.

And the strength of America and all liberal democracies - and all humanity, each and every individual, free or not, when it gets down to it - is our freedom to make that choice.
