So, I was listening to this early morning talk show on the local rock station I listen to. The host was claiming that the United States is the greatest country on the planet. I am an American, but I disagree with that statement. When I heard this host say that, I actually got angry.
Here are a few reasons why I believe the U.S.A. is NOT the greatest country or even comes close:
The military is overpowering and very messed up (look up videos).
The leadership is lacking. All the presidents seem to make matters worse (economically speaking).
Americans are wasteful and rely too much on processed foods.
The American government has a way of making enemies globally.
The government wants to control every aspect of human life within its borders (what food we can and can't eat, etc).
The education system is in ruins.
Just wait until the military knocks down your door. Martial law is just around the corner and in some ways, already exists (FEMA camps).
Nonsense.
America is in fact the greatest Nation in the world, and the best America is yet to come.
More Americans enjoy greater freedom today than at any time in this Nation's history; Americans' civil liberties are more secure today than at anytime in this Nation's history; and gay, lesbian, and transgender Americans are soon to realize their comprehensive civil rights.
American society is becoming more diverse, inclusive, and accepting of expressions of individual liberty and rejects the fear and ignorance of the reactionary right hostile to change and the civil liberties of others.
Your post is ignorant, inane, and ridiculous, devoid of any facts or evidence typical of the fear-mongering gloom and doom tripe propagated by most on the right.
Wow.. Just amazing... Are you living in a vacuum?
