A quotation from Henry Commager
What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

“This program is a smart example of what equitable climate action actually looks like on the ground. The environment benefits from fewer emissions, residents breathe cleaner air, and communities that have historically been left out of the clean energy transition are finally being centered.”
