Prager On Human Nature

Tonight I watched a short excerpt from one of Dennis Prager's recent fireside chats, and he never disappoints. Dennis like me believes that human nature is not basically good but that there is not, that there is still good in human nature, or as Jordan Peterson allows, humans are still perfectible. What amazes Dennis is how good America is despite starting with such flawed citizens, an astounding moral achievement, the only country ever to give people from all over the world real access to freedom and opportunity. He excoriates the educated, that understand nothing he editorializes, They see people as born good, but then are angered and horrified at how bad America is. They do not see this country for what it is, not perfect but pretty good, better than most other places. The Founders wanted citizens to be virtuous, pious, righteous, profit-oriented individualists with a chance to develop their talents and express their unalienable rights guaranteeed by the fedral constitution.
