America at 250 needs citizens, not spectators
America’s 250th anniversary asks whether we will merely celebrate liberty or accept responsibility for carrying its promise forward.
America was not born with its promise fulfilled. It was born with its promise declared.
That difference matters. Because 250 years later, the question is not whether America deserves celebration, but whether its citizens are willing to keep the republic.
In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines America’s 250th anniversary and how the nation’s founding promise still tests our truth, liberty, responsibility and citizenship.
Because patriotism is more than fireworks and flags. It is telling the truth about our country without hating it, and loving our country without lying about it.
