Alan Dershowitz, a Constitutional and Criminal Law Expert and a retired Harvard Law School Professor, explains how being able to provide opportunities for your children to excel in whatever profession they choose is “What Makes America Great”! His own personal story proves his point. He was present for Martin Luther King’s famous declaration about wanting people to be judged by the content of character, not skin color. That, he stresses, is what has made America great, and he adds “And we’re losing it!…We are losing it to what is called ‘Identity Politics’.”Moon Griffon, Louisiana Conservative Radio Talk Show Host, makes a very profound observation: “Every bit of our Freedom was born with blood.” He further explains, if we lose this Freedom we have, "we will not get it back with a law or a stroke of a pen." We will have to fight and some will die to get it back. Moon thinks frequently young people take our American freedoms for granted. It takes some age, maturity, and personal religious faith to realize how precious our freedoms are and how they must be protected at all cost. Kimberly Guilfoyle, a television news personality, grew up believing America’s Greatness is found in the quality of opportunities America provides; however, whether or not you achieve those goals is determined by each one of us. Your limits in life are not determined by anyone or any entity other than yourself and how hard you are willing to work to make it happen. It is that opportunity for each of us to decide who and what we want to achieve in life that Makes America Great! Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr, “American Ground Radio” Hosts, share what they believe Makes America Great. The American Dream is not really about material or monetary factors. The greatness of America is that it allows each of us to see the greatness in ourselves. For Louis, it is ‘Opportunity’ — so many Americans have success stories to tell about how just having American Opportunity and a willingness to work hard changed the destiny of their lives. In America, their lives are not defined by where they were born, what kind of housing they lived in as children, or what kind of work their parents did. Stephen says the Second Sentence of the Declaration of Independence is the fundamental reason America is able to be great. Both Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King referred to this sentence their famous speeches, “ The Gettysburg Address” and “I have a Dream” respectively. Whenever America is living up to the Second Sentence, it is at its best; but when it is at its worst, the Second Sentence is not being followed.
