I love this country. I love it for what it offers and has offered to me and my family and most everyone I have ever known. I am proud to be an American. Is it a perfect country? No, of course not, not by a long shot, but neither are any of us. I guess there is a certain symmetry to that because as I say, we are this country! There are parts of our history that are not proud. But there are things going on today that I find equally unnerving. You are going to learn that this is all being driven by a small number of people who claim to be representing large segments of our society. I don't believe that is true. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night deeply concerned about where we are collectively headed as a country. There is one thing that helps me get back to sleep. I believe all these activists, like so many who see things from only their own point of view, are committing a strategic error. I believe they have yelled so loud and so long and pushed so hard and so far that they have inadvertently awakened a sleeping giant. You, A member of what has, until now, been a massive group of Americans from every walk of life who shared the common value: "Live and let live."
