Though I recognize the country in which I was born has faults, as do we all, I always took for granted that it still held to its founding goal which was religious tolerance. Of course, much of that tolerance required a new colony, and one religious group moving to a new place, but I still believed there was a place for everyone and their thoughts.
That is why I am shocked at what is going on in NYC, home of the Statue of Liberty.
