Actor Matthew McConaughey, in his appeal for gun control legislation, is right that more unites us as Americans than divides us. The true spirit of America is unity and bipartisanship, not the bitter rhetoric we see on television and social media.
The nation just marked the anniversary of the D-Day invasion to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany during World War II. The bravery and heroism of that mission came from Americans united in a common cause. No one was talking about Democrats or Republicans, or liberal or conservative. Nobody cared about labels — they cared about each other and their quest to preserve freedom and build peace.
