Well....that is one of the best, if not the best, posts I have ever seen on here!
Glad someone on here agrees with me. Seems most here on this site have been brainwashed by media flair...flash some shiny lights and dangle some shiny toys and they'll believe anything. Of course many on here would say the same thing about me, that I've been brainwashed, that I'm a hate mongering criminal if I truly believe what I do, if I truly support the right side of the fence, if I truly believe that America is still the most unstoppable country in the world.
The thing is, the same people usually voice their opinion shouting at the top of their lungs, I should be arrested according to them, or better yet, I should leave because all intelligent Americans think as they do, lol! Funny thing is, you'll rarely hear anyone on the side I stand on scream, you'll never hear them ask those who they disagree with to leave. The side of left wing thinking in America today is rooted deep in hate...it is against success it is against real education, it supports selfishness and abhors selflessness acts and thrives on the misery of the people who are blind enough to follow.
One of my favorite things I ever read was actually a bumper sticker I saw a year or two ago.
It said:
Make a liberal mad
Work hard, own stuff, be happy
USA is disliked by many due to their foreign policy, and it is fascinating they do not see that.
I don't think most Americans who have a clue as to what's going on in the world are unaware of this. But the ones who do have a clue, they are a small minority. But They're the ones that matter so who cares.
When you come to America yourself and you're out shopping or doing what ever it is you do, odds are you're talking with the every day schmuck who has no real clue as to what's going on in the world around him. All he knows is that he lives in America, that the rest of the world dislikes us...he only knows this because he heard Brian Willimas say it on NBC news...he only caught that tid bit of info cause he was flipping channels while there was a commercial break during Wheel of Fortune.
Anyway, I agree, we are disliked by many because of our foreign policy. IMO, it wouldn't matter where or what that policy stood on though, it would still be hated.
Canadians, Brits, Swiss etc do not go on about everyone being jealous, despite coming from nations that also offer great standards.
The mass hates Rome not for it's power and splendor but because She Is Rome.
