What does the United States stand for?
by Jack GrantI have been striving for several days to put together a post that encompasses a number of different, seemingly disparate topics into one whole that points to a fundamental principal upon which our Constitution is based.
I have failed.
I have been so busy trying to establish myself in the US again after moving back from France that I have not had the time to compose the words upon a topic that I feel is vitally important.
What kind of nation are we that we feel the need to actually have a debate between our executive and legislative branches upon whether torture should be permitted?
Think about that a moment.
What kind of nation are we that we feel the need to declare citizens of our country “enemy combatants” with no recourse to any appeal?
Think about that a moment.
I cannot stress enough, ask yourself, what exactly does the United States stand for?
Do your own math.

i think that the united states stands for freedom, the right to religion, the right for blacks to go into a store without being attacked, but mostly that the schools are not only required for rich people but for everyone who wants it, no matter what you can almost always get into a school, with nobody selecting you out
