How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps

by Ben Shapiro

Stewart says that while his fellow Americans may not have appreciated black Americans, all color disappeared in the sky. When the Red Tails pulled up alongside the B-17 and B-24 bombers, Stewart says, white bomber pilots breathed a sigh of relief. “We were like their guardian angels,” he explains. Stewart helped make hell into heaven. In doing so, he stood with George Washington, Frederick Douglass, and Martin Luther King Jr.; he stood with Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan; he stood with the American people. On the day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Hancock, the president of Congress, supposedly stated, “there must be no pulling different ways; we must all hang together.” Benjamin Franklin replied, “yes, we must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.” In 244 years, nothing has changed. Yes, we are flawed. Yes, we are cruel and generous and brutal and gentle and cynical and idealistic. But most of all, we must not be enemies. We must be Americans—Americans together—and we will be so again, when we are touched by the better angels of our nature.
