Days after the 4th of July, Dennis reflects on the meaning of patriotism at a time when we may not feel proud of the direction America is headed.

We must restore these values if America is to remain the last best hope of E...

What can we learn from comparing our beloved America—the last best hope of Earth—to Eur...
