What do we value as a nation?

About: Trump warns 'I fight back' after McCain hits foreign policy

To abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems,is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.

John McCain as he was honored for his service

When i was a kid becoming aware of our nation in the world of other nations i was struck with the exceptional character of America. Althought powerful enough to rule the world, we nevertheless held back from such an agenda and instead stood for the values of all humans. I agree with John McCain, it would be an awful shame to give that up for winning at the expense of other nations. Choosing to only value ourselves at the expense of others is simply not our American story … it is not what we are be ing. Or at least that was my story of America before before #Trump.
