The idiot who wrote this doesn’t understand we are a nation in decline and facing a very bleak future.

What the hell is he trying to say, here??

The U, S, of A OF TODAY is about half to two-thirds the way down the slippery slope to second-class status.

There really is no denying it, and to maintain that we still have some momentum left is simply NOT ENOUGH.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The first stage is acceptance.

Those who think that America is still great need to accept the fact that it no longer is. Then we can begin to fix it.

Having the largest military that is used ineffectively or the largest economy that sucks for lots of Americans or freedoms that are being eroded and a slightly less corrupt political system than China are not the marks of an exceptional nation.

It is always great at the beginning of the slide but adults understand that at the end is the most dangerous.

The typical argument among liberal haters of America (a very sizable population) assume that the U.S. should have been a perfect (in their eyes) country from the beginning. As if there were any perfect countries in 1776.

The libs set up an impossible ideal that was never matched by no country ever. The fact that America started out with faults that were corrected over time matters naught to the America haters. In the liberal (deranged) mind everything should have been perfect from the start.

Even given that most of the assertions in that liberal screed were lies, there will never be a perfect country. As humans are imperfect creatures, the institutions they create will be imperfect. And liberals, in their current form, are the most imperfect.

In other words, he doesn’t believe in American exceptionalism. He thinks we are too stupid to get what that statement really means.

[JudyinCanada]

I doubt the Greeks think they’re all that exceptional now.

This is the argument that should be used to close the borders and stop immigration until Americans are back to work, including getting the millions off of welfare and doing the jobs they would have to do if they wanted to eat.

If their countries are just as exceptional as America, STAY THERE.

That Newsroom piece was written by Aaaron Sorkin, a guy who can make liberals pee their pants. He has made a fortune doing so. lol.

“Was it great when Sacco and Vanzetti, in a spasm of racist fear of darker-skinned immigrants, were falsely accused, convicted, and hanged?”

LOL, those 2 were guilty as hell. Friggin commies never give up on a lost cause.

Sacco and Vanzetti were not innocent. Even NPR says so: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5245754

Why do liberals keep dragging history out of the closet and use it as some half-assed, lazy argument against America? There's never any context or comparison to what was going on at the time, around the world. It's laughable when you think of how much they embrace evolution. It's one of the many, many reasons I despise liberals.

Hey, KosKiddie -

Is America great when 10’s of millions of unborn African Americans are slaughtered in the womb and their parts sold for “research”?

[vpintheak]

To those left-tards who tell me crap like the Kos Kid, I always say, yes, we were great then. Greater than any nation. Prove otherwise. They can’t and I have never had any of them get back to me.
