Because that is all you will be gettting from the bolsheviks for it -
The Declaration of Independence conceived a nation. Yes, it took the revolutionary war, a constitution, and a Bill of Rights to give us the birth of these United States. A country that would shortly become the light of liberty, the great hope of the nations. A country that has grown to be the most powerful country ever. In economic power, in military might, in virtually every way, America has established its ability to call out the better angels of humanity.
We stand at a time when the premise of our country’s greatness is being challenged. Not with facts, history, or intelligent debate. Because those would show the uncomfortable truth to those doing the challenging: that we have been, and are, the greatest nation in the world. We have God-given rights and freedoms bestowed upon our citizens in ways that had never occurred before. We have achieved much. Yes, we have flaws. We’re human, but we’re better than anyplace else.
There is no better alternative model country. There is no better alternative governance. There is no alternative system that has raised the collective ability to live life well, pursue happiness, pursue the uplifting of humanity, or has enriched its citizenry so well as the one we have now. And there’s not a close second. We are the most generous, inclusive, open-minded people ever. A testimony to humanity’s better side.
The 2nd greatest gift that men have ever been given and we don't even fight for it?
