We all remembered the somber day when 911 occurred, and since then the America haters have rationalized why terrorists did what they did and continue planning to murder us. Many who rationalize wanton murder against innocents live here or will move heaven and earth to be here. I found it ironic that a couple years ago, when there was an earthquake in the Qom in Iran, that America sent supplies, which was received, notwithstanding we being the “Great Satan.” As I write, there were tragic floods in Pakistan, and of course, the bulk of the aid will come from these “satanic” shores. To all you America haters I have taken the liberty of listing why this country is special
It is a mark of greatness for a country that its citizens who were born impaired can become handy-capable because of the services said country provide. Somewhere in some baseball farm system, a poor immigrant young man will start the journey of becoming a highly paid athlete; in some park or mall, a little girl or boy will be discovered and become some future matinee idol; somewhere in a small town, someone will randomly choose numbers that will net him or her millions in winning the lottery; many across this country make a good living without breaking a sweat; and somewhere, some murderer will be given gratis a mouth peace advocate to defend him vigorously.
Somewhere, there is an immigrant berating the country or perhaps addressing someone in authority with colorful metaphors - something that would have gotten him or her incarcerated or killed in his native country; somewhere, there are Africans, Cubans, Haitians, Chinese, Arabs, and West Indians, are paying great sacrifices to get to these shores; somewhere, someone is putting lyrics to a beat, which will shortly be paying dividends because it will become an anthem; somewhere, there are those working in garages who will come up with some technological advent and change our way of living for the better; the coming fiscal years, much will be tabulated of the donated monies, that ended up in the coffers of various charities, which will worth more than the GDP of many a country.
For those who may hate America, look around you and probably all the amenities you see in your homes… were invented in America. The author of this blog, with many odds against him, came here, obtained a GED, joined the United States Army, and used his GI Bill to pay and go to college and then Law school; in addition, because of the education he received, which made him even more aware of the freedoms afforded here, he thank God through his Son Jesus Christ that he has the freedom to worship in peace.
Or maybe those that hate us see the treatment of first nations people, institutional slavery, civil war, nationalized Germans during both world wars, Japanese during the second, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq, Katrina, the West's silence in Rwanda, Enron, the madness of ‘anchor babies’, the toxic debt that has infected the world's finances like a cancer, people like Beck, Schlessinger, Limbaugh, Jones et al who use words for fear, power & profit.
ReplyDeleteThe list is unfortunately too long & I think my point is made. I agree with you with my heart that the USA is a great country. Possibly the greatest of the 20th century. For all she has faced she survives and thrives. Gifted & blessed the Americas are without question.
All I'm saying is 'they' have and will find cause. They like all of the peoples of the world have a choice to be defined by what they 'hate' or not.
