Regardless of which side of the aisle you approach the posts in this discussion from, I expect that -unless you are here on a temporary visa- you will be happy to be a citizen or LAWFUL immigrant in the shining city on the hill. America is not perfect. America is not as great as it once was. America is still the greatest nation in history and the last best hope for freedom, self-determination, and republican government. Never before in history as any country accumulated as much wealth and power, and used it so selflessly to help others - often to our own detriment. Remember that our founding fathers tried every possible avenue to reconcile with the King across the ocean in England, asking for as little as representation in their parliament to have a voice in the government of their own affairs. It took a war, the first war of its kind, to obtain the freedom of electing our own leaders that we take as our birthright. The Revolutionary War was revolutionary in its thinking, in its intent for colonies to be independent of the empires that once controlled them. We may not always elect the leaders that individual voters choose, we may often disagree vehemently with the policies and laws passed by those elected officials. However, I hope we can all agree that the greatest break-up letter in history is as true, word-for-word, today as it was 250 years ago on July 4th, 1776. Happy Semiquincentennial and God bless America!
