Why Is America Great?
I suppose it would be more appropriate or more accurate to ask ” Why WAS America Great ?”
It seems that in the modern era, especially since WWII, “why is America great” is measured more by our power rather than the principles of liberty and freedom or benevolence and justice. Was the driving force behind this great experiment of unprecedented liberty, freedom and prosperity- power? I certainly hope not and yet you’ve heard it repeated so many times in modern history and now during election time when the politicians are wanting to accentuate the Prowess of the U.S. among lessor nations and our responsibility to “Protect our interests around the globe” which, I’m certain are of a more nefarious nature than virtuous.
Personally it sickens me to think that the motivating force behind America’s political establishment is largely the aspiration of power, pushing our weight around the globe as if it is our moral duty to do so but in fact, this desire for power, to be able to assert our will upon other sovereign nations, seems to be standard protocol for US foreign policy.
I would assert however, that it’s not the U.S. who is doing the pushing as much as it is certain very powerful global elitist who are hell bent on a “One World Government” of which “they” are in charge. So the why is America Great question, when it comes to power, is really a matter of how these globalist are using the U.S. for their own nefarious purposes.
Then there’s the whole issue of the Military Industrial Complex which I’ve already posted about previously here. Having troops in an estimated 130 countries and several hundred bases or instances of U.S. troops around the globe does NOT make us great. It makes us busy bodies and a lot of enemies.

Is it because it is the “land of opportunity”? There was a time when that was certainly true but over-regulation and excessive taxation have been driving business out of the country for decades. Of course there are foreign businesses who love to come and set up shop in America, primarily due to the fact they receive such generous benefits from the Federal Government for doing so, such as huge tax breaks or other financial help that is not available for U.S. business owners and citizens.
The entrepreneurial spirit that used to run through the veins of American business has been bled out by a government that thinks IT is responsible for “Job Creation”. How many times do you hear Candidates take credit for how many JOBS they’ve created while in office or how many they will create if elected. These morons totally deny and ignore the principles of the Free Market system that made American industry and business the envy of the world.
The only jobs government creates is government jobs. Approximately 50% of the jobs in America today are government jobs so the other 50% has to work their brains out to support those in government who make more and have better benefits than those who work in the private sector! It’s insane! There’s no incentive for people to go into business today. It is a high risk proposition and simply not worth the cost. The red tape created by ridiculous government regulation makes it nearly impossible to start a small business.
And Young Americans have been inoculated against the concept of Entrepreneurship quite thoroughly thanks to the American Educational System. All they know is that they must get a “good” education so they can get a “good” job, preferably working for the government.

Is it because of the property rights granted to it’s citizens? Well again, that used to be true but just quit paying your property tax and you’ll find out very quickly who actually owns the property regardless of whose name is on the title. Property tax is an abomination. The idea that a piece of land can be in a family for generations and be taken through taxation should the owner somehow become unable to pay is unconscionable and morally reprehensible. Shoot, you can never even say you actually own your car for God’s sakes! In most states, maybe every state, you have to pay taxes on it until it nearly turns to dust. Oh and let’s not forget the atrocious abuse Imminent Domain laws. Just pray your property isn’t in the way of the new “Strip Mall” your town counsel has decided is absolutely necessary for the “betterment of the community.” (or more likely the Developer and the bank accounts of the politicians)

I know, it’s because of our Liberty – free speech – the right we have to do what we will with our own bodies and all that stuff, as long as it hurts nobody else, except for:
we must wear a seat belt; we must not put recreational drugs in our bodies; we must let them vaccinate us and our children against our will; we must let them give us chemo and radiation if we get cancer before we can seek other non toxic methods of treatment; we must wear a helmet (in most states) when we ride our motorcycles; we must not drink or eat raw organic dairy products and only eat or drink dairy that has had all the nutrition destroyed by pasteurization (so the industrialized dairy industry can make huge profits and drive the small farms out of business); we must not have any guns that are not registered with the government so when the time comes for martial law they can be taken from us while the criminals get to keep theirs; we must not ride in the back of a pickup truck; we must not have a business where we allow smoking; we must not say or do anything that might offend someone else, especially homosexuals (it’s now a constitutional right to not be offended); if we want to travel by airliner we must allow the TSA to molest us and our children and to scan us with radioactive isotopes; (which have not been proven to be safe even though the courts have mandated that the TSA present proof they are safe) we must allow the NSA to invade our privacy, listen to our calls, check our email all without a legal warrant; we must allow drones to take pictures of us and track us without probable cause and if ordered by the President they can assassinate us without a trial…. the list goes on. And you as Why is America Great ? Great!
Why is America Great should only be asked as a rhetorical question I’m afraid because the greatness that once was is no more.

I just have to do one more. Unlike so many other nations we have free and fair elections, free of fraud. We actually choose our representatives.
Who are you kidding? We don’t choose our elected officials they are selected for us. It is abundantly clear, more so in this election cycle than any of the past elections, that we have no real say in the matter. It’s all a show put on by the power elite to placate the natives, to make them believe they are choosing their representatives when, in fact, most of the candidates are hand picked so that they can be the sock puppets of the global elitists to do their bidding. That’s why Goldman Sachs and Morgan Chase Banks give money to both Romney and Obama.
Why is America Great…
Look at these candidates. It’s crazy! They come out of nowhere and usually either have no record or a really crappy one and yet the party heads force-ably push them to the font of the line and the voters have to vote for “the lesser of two evils” or they are just so sick of the one party they vote for the other no matter who it is, as was the case in the last presidential election. How else could such a shady character, with an Islamic name and no legitimate U.S. birth certificate get into office? (it was the Clintons, by the way, who called into question Obama’s birth certificate, not the Republicans)
A Quote, attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville, according to some sources erroneously, said: “America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” regardless of where the quote came from it does reflect a truth that has come to be realized in our day, that Americans have chosen for themselves corrupt leaders because they are likewise corrupt.
I like what Ron Paul said about virtue; “you can’t force people to be virtuous”. He was referring to those (authoritarians) who think it’s their job, by force of law, to make people be good and his point was that it’s better to lead by example and hope others will emulate those who do lead virtuous lives, seeing that it is to their own betterment.
Why is America Great ? If it is to ever be great again we must rid ourselves of these Authoritarians who really work for the big banksters (the Federal Reserve, IMF and other global elitists) who hate freedom except for their own. And if you haven’t yet figured it out, the Authoritarians operate on both sides of the aisle. The two parties may be irreparably broken.
It’s time for a reality check. Why Is America Great ? It’s not.
