It always Burning in Paris
General April 7th, 2009I love America. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting my friends they will tell you that I am am American. I may be pure Irish, but I have never been to the Emerald Isle. The best thing that our President, Barack Obama, has done is bring national pride back. People are happy to be American again, it may be for different reasons than why I am proud to be an American, but I will take it. Eventually they will see how awesome America is. But why do I think America is awesome and what exactly are the reason that people should be proud of America?
Because we are the most free without our government being a joke and living in defacto anarchy. Sure we could be freer, but I fear that we would thrive less. I believe that America has struck the best possible balance between freedom and government with the possibility of existing. Look at the UN. There are less than 50 legitimate democracies. Why should we be held to the standard of countries that do not even come close to respecting their people as much as we respect them?
Our President thought that going to visit the that little piece of America in Normandy would be showing favoritism to France over Germany. Not showing respect to the 9,500 Heroes that are buried their defending Freedom. As my friend’s math professor said “Its a tough roe to hoe”. Our President just doesn’t get it. America is the best and that is not something to apologize about. Something to apologize about is when you do something wrong. Being better than is not bad…
And that is is problem. Liberals want everything to be equal even if that means dragging success down. I think that success is great and being successful means that someone has to be achieving less than you. That is the positional nature of language and of reality. The most basic metaphors of our metaphysical conceptualization are in/out above/below they wish to abolish these relationships in relation to people. Our unique balance of Freedom and government makes the US the best place to live, why else would so many people want to come here? Does Turkey, China, Cuba or Mexico have an immigration problem? No we do because we are the BEST!
