What made United States great ?

[harmonica]

a better question is how did Britain become the superpower of the 19th century as she did not have much resources/room/etc ??--culture/spirit/willpower--
..a culture that produced people to go out and do better

Their military was second to none................they grew via a better military than others..............They gained power through military might..................until they over reached........spread themselves to thin..............and were taken down slowly all over the world...........

Same as Rome and other powers..................

The entire map of the world is written by War..............on who won or lost............and that has basically never changed.

...yes-then the overall related question was how did that tiny, tiny island produce those military forces?
--they had the culture-willpower--etc to produce those military forces/population/food/ships/guns/technology

 

[sparky]

So we gotta potus doing the Reagan MAGA ...again....

I don't think anyone's arguing ,save for how to get from A to B....

The Failure of the Founders of The US Constitution

In a Republic, as the people delegate their sovereign authority to their representatives the less they retain awareness of the decisions made on their behalf and the less they feel empowered; therefore, the closer these powers remain to the people, while harmony exists among the diverse societies, the more the people stay informed, involved and retain their mind-set of being empowered. Conversely, when conflict cannot be resolved locally, it is advanced to higher echelons of government, where calmer minds prevail, pending a solution. The founders recognized the inevitability of population growth and an increase in the numbers of diverse societies. The Constitution's intentional distribution of power from the people to local authority then to the States and lastly the Federal Government permits the citizenry to more closely monitor the activities of government and the restrictions it might impose on them. The Founders believed, the inherent role of central government to protect the security and freedoms of society should not alter with the changing needs of society and that the States or local authorities would resolve most of the civil conflicts.

I believe we can agree the Founders designed the Constitution including the Bill of Rights on basic principles of good government which has been previously discussed. Also built into the Constitution are many checks and balances to limit power allocated to the central authority, without endangering the autonomy of the states; and the Separation of Powers between the branches.

And these things of course we're inspired by God in which guided man's heart's in order to do what was right within these documents as we're produced. We cannot seperate the men from the documents nor can we separate God from the men who inturn created, and then wrote the documents.

God played a major role to what the Founders felt was moral and just................

But even so...........they were very knowledgeable of why people fled Europe.......to come to the New World..........as it was recent history for them..................why they separated church and State...............specifically as a Safe Guard against the Religious Persecution that brought the Pilgrims to Plymouth Rock.

The Bible is an accurate account of these events as well, and infact is the very foundation for all that we know, and have studied in regards to world events.

There seems to be an attempt to try and speak about the history and events without also speaking of the biblical accuracy surrounding the events, along with the mistakes, the progress, and the history of it all in reference to.

..I've heard and read where necessity is also part of the equation...England being an island needed ships/resources/etc
..where as landlocked countries do not
..did not the Europeans bring their ''ship building/ship needing'' culture to America?

the bible is not factual/authenticated
it was written too long ago to take as fact

Their military tactics and advances in Technology of that day made them very powerful.................Just as today our military tech and tactics do the same.................

They were quite frankly vicious on the battlefield...........well disciplined soldiers who walked over other armies even when outnumbered.......Why they controlled so much.......

Even in Rome.............when outnumbered on the battlefield...........won many battles because of tactics and strategy of the day would slaughter undisciplined troops with Superior numbers................

Hannibal did it even better than them............he nearly took out Rome..........because of battle tactics and skill on the battle field....Carthage fell because Rome adapted.......learned from Hannibal....exploited Carthage corruption and destroyed Hannibal in current day Egypt......................

Skill and discipline on the battle field wins Battles...........and Britain understood this.........

 

[initforme]

Corporate power and influence have never been this strong....they own the ears of the politicians The small businesses area being drowned out by beheamouths. We clamor to keep the jobs here yet I wonder how many of our elected officials own businesses that have buildings etc in other countries? That's a conflict of interest in reality.

I am simply posting what I believe the intentions of the Founding Fathers were and why they created a Republic under those belief systems...................

Mainly from reading the Federalist Papers and the words of that day.

Its Constitution.

Putting God first, and including him in spirit into the Constitution. We couldn't have written a Constitution such as we have without him being added into the mix.

The reason we are claiming that we need to MAGA now, is because over the years there has been a negative force that has been attempting to remove God from everywhere in this nation.

It has been a relentless game of attrition that has been conducted by this negative force against us, yet it has been pushed back, and it is losing ground lately.

Hopefully the trend continues in the right direction which is to keep God in our midst always, and to continue to pray that he accepts our invitation to dwell amongst us always.

God hasn’t done anything for a Merica.

The people who legislated managed capitalism and followed liberal policies did.

The country is no less unified today than its strongest point. Its just that the far fringes from both sides make the most noise. Most are near the center.

When one denies the elected president of the United States there is no unity

 

[evenflow1969]

Many people (including me) will think entrepreneurs made the U.S a developed country and that was caused by capitalism. Also systems such as: free market, freedom of opinion, competition.. etc. provided us those technologies and science. In the history, those people from aristocratic background have been always made the useful things for the humanity.

I don't know am I right ? What do you think ?

We also have an article about that topic, you can read it here:
What made America great? – Think and Say

I remember when we were top flight in every thing. Top education, standard of living, military ect. Capitolism was only part of it. Back then it wa responsible capitolism people were concrened about their neighbor not so much any more.

they took the advanced European culture and ''fine tuned'' it.......???

The system of Checks and Balances were to prevent any branch of Gov't from over stepping it's bounds............Which is why they made it very difficult for any one party to have control of all three Branches at one time.....

The Senate was known as the COOLER............to prevent passage of laws because of a moment of ideology brought on by an event that caused a public outcry.................to make it harder to pass so a temporary fad didn't become the law of the land.

The Founders very purpose was to make laws HARDER to ENACT................so that sides would have to negotiate and Compromise to create a new one.................

But now.................a temp power creates the law only to be overturned with the next temporary power.........

Wash,rinse, spin and dry and repeat.........................

We are divided and the laws changing back and forth are a reflection of a system of Gov't that has too much power.

Our founders intentionally kept God out

You poor, poor ignorant person. The mention of God or his character doesn't have to always come in the form of literally calling out ones name or seeing a physical presence as in a photo if actually had one, but it can come in the form of ones intent or message placed within the content of a statement.

A physical presence as in body in sight of or direct wording as to mention by name is not needed, but only that the spirit in which guides our very actions afterwards, is all that is needed.

Hey it's like an instructional, where as once read and then applied you have the results. Anything good is the result of God, while anything bad is the result of the evil one. Take your choice.

Our founders saw the danger in an official religion

It is why our faith, and our belief in Christ is so strong within us, where as just as it was with the founders, they knew that to boast of these things within the documents in a loud and boasting way, was the same thing as to place such things up for debate among the Scribes and the Pharrisees who sought to challenge such beliefs in an unGodly way, and therefore these things were placed amongst the heathen and the believer's in a trial conducted by the Roman's for those unGodly challengers who feared the Lord once upon a time in the history of the world.

Our love of God is evident within so many ways in which we can find within this nation, but the heathens are doing everything possible to try and change that.

Hmmm, I think God might have left Y'all during the Indian genocide campaigns and He hasn't looked back. Satan took up refuge in His absence.

What "Indian genocide campaigns "?
