"What's great about America."
Good to see a positive perspective for a change.

Briefly put; 'What's So Great About America,' a book by Dinesh D'Souza, is not asking a question, but a statement. D'Souza defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against an utopian ideal, but against the rest of the world. He believes that the critics have a narrow and distorted understanding of America and exaggerate American faults, and ignore what is good and even great about America.


I found the interview of D'Souza by John Stossel to be a positive and refreshing view of America.

Hi Deniss,

I saw the video, thanks for sharing. I was just wondering what is your personal opinion about it (or at list some of the points made).

We try - We mess up sometimes - But mostly we try to do the right thing.

Intelligent design, benevolence or homeostasis, the clinical term ~

Great perspective Dennis. Thanks!
