—“Look at the veneration and mythic aspect of the founders and other heroes of American history. Some even have what we could call temples. Especially Washington, Jefferson, (maybe Franklin, though there seems to be something more human about how we remember him), Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Patton, JFK, maybe even Reagan, although I think the gleam is wearing off his spirit as we realize the fraud perpetrated by many who used the vehicle of his name. Whether we agree with them all or not, they’re figures in a sort of American pantheon, and to at least some segment of society or other, they all represent certain archetypal, ideal qualities.”– Eric Best

Correct. 😉
