I am very glad to see Secretary of State Marco Rubio dropping away from this “America is an idea” gibberish I keep hearing about.  America is not an idea, it is a nation of people – unique, distinct and very visible.

…. “America has never been merely a proposition. It has always been a very real and living civilization. A unique and distinctive people, unlike any nation or people in the history of the world.”  ~Marco Rubio
