I’m already regretting the day when Mother Nature snuffs out the light in David McCullough’s, Ron Chernow’s, and Doris Kearns-Godwin’s eyes. The wealth of knowledge in the study of American history will be lost to time that no one can fill these great custodians of history’s shoes. Such a great vacuum will be created since I see no one of the younger generation showing anywhere near the interest to move us forward.
“Because the buzzword globalization has been coined to describe the growing interdependence of international trade and global economic interdependence, many tend to see international trade and international financial transactions as something new- allowing both special interests ideologues to play on the public’s fear of the unknown.” p.500; Basic Economics Fifth Edition; DOCTOR THOMAS SOWELL; Basic Books; 2015

Thank your public schools for no longer teaching Civics and PC revising our history. But never fear! Students feels good about themselves and have ethnic pride.
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that through the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. President Thomas Jefferson; First Inaugural Address; March 4th, 1801
XII. Another Way to make you Tax odious, is to misapply the Produce of it. If is was the originally appropriated for the Defence of the Provinces and the better Support of Government, and the Administration of Justice where it may be necessary, then apply none to it to that Defence, but bestow it where it is not necessary, in augmented Salaries or Pensions to every Governor who has distinguished himself by his Enmity to the People, and by calumniating them to their Sovereign. This will make them pay it more unwillingly, and be more apt to quarrel with those that collect it, and those that imposed it, who will quarrel again with them, and shall all contribute to your main Purpose of making them weary of your Government.

Cryptic. Too bad he doesn't get into specifics. It sounds like he is criticizing what the liberals are doing to America's educational system. But, it appears he lacks the courage to give us specific examples of where he is seeing things go wrong. Perhaps, he is concerned the liberal media would not broadcast anything he said if he got down to specifics. Sad, really.
Not Liberals; UNIONS! and their BAD TEACHERS!!!! Give local schools complete control over the hiring and firing of Teachers and watch Americans becomes more than ignorant materialists again.
I respectfully disagree with Mr. McCullough. What this country needs at this time is a tough, no-nonsense CEO who doesn't give a rats ass about politics.
Well Ron, Here we are one year in , and you got your wish....except for the no-nonsense part, or do you think a CEO who stiffs his business partner at every turn and then relies on deep pockets to outlast them in court isa CEo to be admired , let alone followed. I hope for your sake , you are a person of privilege, otherwise , you just cut your own throat.....and a lot of other people who live on the margins. And they thank you for your gross miscalculations.
I love this man! His definition of the character of this Nation still gives me hope for the future. God bless you David McCullough.
Miss his books. I've read a few of his books twice. Amazing writer.
What a wonderful Easter/Passover gift - interview provides hope for whatever political divide you may be. Posted link on Facebook as my holiday gift.
"There's nothing that can bring down America if it's ruled by honest and courageous men" John Adams..........
Well, there's goes America.
Speaking of the influenza epidemic... I wonder what this interview would be like today?
This was taped over 7 years ago. Over 1 million Americans died of COVID between 2020 and 2023 .
Rest In Peace ♥️

And so the day has dawned without David McCullough in it.
The world has lost a truly great, learned and eloquent man.
GOD BLESS DAVID McCULLOUGH
One thing is for certain, we are about due for a unifying president, we haven’t had unifying leader since John F Kennedy.

"We think things are so bleak now" They ARE bleak. We're approaching extinction.
Lol. There’s never been a better time to be alive than now. You’re nuts.

He’s so clueless about the frailties (euphemism) of Hillary.
He’s clueless about Trump. Trump is/was necessary.
Nope
