United by Liberty

Re “Americans’ Reaction to Attacks Shows True State of the Union,” Dec. 31: Ronald Brownstein got it right when he stated: “What unites America turns out to be much more profound than what divides it.” And what unites America is liberty.

Abraham Lincoln said it best: “The essence of liberty is the spirit of liberty; everywhere.” Everywhere. That’s it. Liberty. It’s that simple.
