Now that's a shining miracle in thought processes, and I thank her/him for offering it in this open forum for our consideration.

You couldn't even come up with anything new? I find this post to be both lazy and cowardly. Get a life. Did you already write this in 2005, when it was, y'know, relevant?

Haven't you people ever heard the term "decent interval"? The feckless thuggery of this post is the last hit on the first page of Google, which is how I found this site. You, sir, should be ashamed of yourself. While your point is valid and what he said is very inflammatory, I think it base cowardice to start your post with, "On the death of radio's Paul Harvey, it's hard for me not to think of his June 23, 2005 broadcast as his most revealing moment." Refrain for a bit before you show your true colors as the scum of the internet. And the thing is, I know for a FACT that there is no way that's his final point on the subject he was addressing. He has a signature sign off that was not included, and so it was certainly only a small part of the whole comment. His point was that Americans have, for better or for worse, carved a niche for themselves in history. There are parts we are not proud of (like this war), but we have to take those challenges, do the best we can with the devices we have been given, and fix the injustices that arrive. Slavery was a reality in the time of the settlers. Bigotry and racism were rampant among the founders. But we have moved past that time to today, where we have a more open society and an open forum to talk about further injustices. So let's have that open forum, free from internet hacks like yourself who try to tarnish the works of a good man who grew up in bad times and tried to make sense of the day he lived. He was, after all, the man who, after backing the Vietnam War under Johnson, turned that stance around under Nixon's expansion of the war by famously stating, "Mr. President, I love you ... but you're wrong." Maybe he's not as one dimensional as you painted him. So now you know...(thanks for teeing this up for me)...the Rest of the Story.
