G.K. Chesterton on America (again)

The historic glory of America lies in the fact that it is the one nation that was founded like a church. That is, it was founded on a faith that was not merely summed up after it had existed, but was defined before it existed.
- G. K. Chesterton

I leave it to you draw your own conclusions about the difference between a nation founded on a faith, rather than a race, or geography, or what not. As Reagan said, “You can live in Japan for decades, but never become Japanese. … Anyone can become an American.”

Take some time to contemplate the implications…
