COMMENTARY
RNS-Claiborne-Oped: Yes, Charlie Kirk, we can be thankful for an imperfect America this Thanksgiving
(RNS) — Despite what extremists like Kirk would have us believe, it is possible to be both thankful for America and critical of America. It doesn’t destroy Thanksgiving to acknowledge our country has a little of the good and the bad in it, like all of us. A politician can be right on one thing and wrong on another. We can be both thankful for what America is … and impatiently hopeful for what America could be. By Shane Claiborne. 865 words. (category: k)
