“I’m sorry, folks. I really, truly wish I could be an optimist. I wish I could write positive articles, telling us that America’s golden days are yet to come, that a bright and shining tomorrow awaits our nation, and the reasons are A, B, C, X, Y, Z. I sincerely wish I could do that. But I’m a historian, and as much as that, a student of the Bible. I have degrees in both subjects, have taught both for literally half a century, and have written thousands of articles in each field. I confess, such tends to make me cynical. But maybe, just maybe, America’s best days do still lie ahead of her; I’m a historian, not a prophet. Yet, to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t have a lot of hope, and history is the reason why.” (06/06/26)
