text: I believe that the editorial by Richard Walker you refer to is neither just "politically progressive" nor "antithetical to Americanism" at all. Remember - we're all Americans and so love America. We don't want to see it crash and burn. If it does, we all crash and burn with it. 
  
  Personally, I believe that you are wrong (and offensive) on many levels when you write  about "unalienable rights" granted by the "Creator"  or progressives believing in "state control." 
  
  The glue isn't taking someone's money away, nor is it declaring more war. It's simply what most Christians and other religions know in their hearts: the Golden Rule, hopefully not too "sissy" for we Americans.
  
  Do you think "Great Again" means more wealth? Already talk and moves are being made to repeal and deduct from programs for seniors and the poor - and this applies to those Americans that will be one or the other - or both someday. So who's wealth, who's power? 
  
  I DO think we need reminders of unification. Often.
