Williams: American Idea

Americans are harder workers, more philanthropic, individualistic, self-reliant, anti-government than people in most other countries. We've turned what was an 18th-century Third World nation into the freest and most prosperous nation in mankind's entire history. Throughout our history, United States has been a magnet for immigrants around the world. What accounts for what some have called American exceptionalism?

We Americans, as human beings, are no different from any other people, including Germans, Russians, Chinese, Africans and other people who have produced tyrannical regimes such as those of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Idi Amin. As such we are just as capable of committing acts of gross evil that have been a part of mankind throughout his history. We've not been a perfect nation but we've never approached the level of hideousness seen in other nations.

we are not loosing these freedoms, they are being stolen by the liberals. Too many people are asleep. Obama has spent 1.6 million dollars to prevent his true birth certificate secret, and has used DOJ lawyers to tell courts they have no power to decide if he is president. That statement dose not make since unless he was not born in the United States. Something is rotten in state of Washington D.C.

The top item on Chairman Hussein's agenda has been to destory the whole American Exceptionalism ideal. Hence his endless apology tours, humiliating our (not his) country.

We have not only a right but a responsibility to resist government that is unresponsive and attempts to violate the Constitution. There are evil people in DC and they must be stopped.
