Onstage at the Reagan Library with Michael Medved

Подробнее о видео

In his “Guilt versus Gratitude” program, Michael Medved confronts America’s self-esteem crisis. For all their raging disagreements, the detractors and defenders of the United States share one point of common conviction: that America represents an unprecedented, deeply consequential development in the history of civilization. The core dispute behind our current culture war involves the nature of that uniqueness, and whether America qualifies as exceptionally guilty or exceptionally great.
