Kevin Connolly's take on America

You're asking for the impossible, libraries have been written, since de Tocqueville, about what America is or isn't, and none are accurate or complete. Partially because it's a moving target.
What Connolly found, was a key trait to the American character, that is more telling than all the pissant criticisms compiled. You can criticize the tea baggers, but you know what, half the country disagrees with you, so is your criticism valid? The same for Connoly, would any criticisms from him be valid, if half or more of 300 million people disagree?
