As a born and bred red-blooded American – whose ancestors immigrated to the United States in pursuit of the freedom and opportunity it afforded – I am sick and tired of the bashing the U.S. receives, and takes, for existing. While it has its imperfections, it is closer than anything else ever offered in the history of civilization. Who oppresses free speech, and routinely murders their own people when they do speak out? Certainly, not those bastions of freedom and opportunity like Iran or Venezuela…yeah, MUST be the big "evil" US! When the world goes to shit next time – a la 1914, 1939, 2001, etc. – how about not bothering to call us? We will see how well that works out for the world. And how long it takes before the call rings out for American blood to once again spill upon the alter of freedom in sacrifice.
Who is going to man that wall though? Russia? China? Maybe the Useless Nations, an entity that has a stellar resume as a beacon of freedom and opportunity. Just look at Korea (originally, and still on-going, U.N.-sanctioned “police action”), Darfur and even pre-war Afghanistan and Iraq.
You're welcome. Now, go to hell.
