A Quote to Keep and Ponder

A. J. Christopher writing at PJ Media about Europeans' positive response to the America you and I know and love.

Everything our visitors love about America is everything the left hates about America.

Christopher makes an interesting point. Europeans who plan to see the US decide which cities they want to see. They do this because sightseeing in Europe mostly is its cities - cathedrals, palaces, museums, and monuments. They wrongly assume the US is similar.

The US isn't just (or even mostly) our cities. The US is our suburbs, our rural areas, our National Parks, and our wide-open, go anywhere you choose countryside. I find we don't do "city" especially well. We do suburb, exurb, and countryside better than most. Our cities are "low trust" areas, most of the rest is "high trust" and friendly. 

The DrsC have traveled all over the US and spent very little of that time in cities. We'd advise European (and other) visitors to see the countryside and the state and national parks. Enjoy.
