4 July 1776 fired off a crazy rocking rolling ride that hasn't stopped 'stirring things up' on a global scale.Advancing arrogance into an art form with a remarkable relentless risque commitment to liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, and laissez-faire values. America differs qualitatively from all other nations, because of her unique origins, nat'l credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions.

Great Satan is magically especial because she was a country of immigrants and the first modern democracy. Loud, proud and rowdy - early America forecast future stuff with a provocative lingo that still fits today. "Don't Tread On Me!" "Liberty Or Death", "Live Free Or Die" The belief in the superiority of the American model is reflected in the perception among Americans of America’s role in the world. That American foreign policy is based on moral principles is a consistent theme in the American discourse – a phenomenon recognized even by those who are skeptic of such an assessment. This inclination to do right has been virtually unique among the nations of the world - and for this very reason - America has been totally misunderstood. How could a nation so rich, so successful actually, really be so unselfish and so caring?
Critics cry America must have darker motives! America must be seeking imperium - to dominate everyone else, suck up all the oil, to trade and rob blind for America's selfish purposes. People from more grasping, less idealistic societies find it nigh impossible to accept that America honestly believes that giving everyone opportunity is the real roadmap for abundance and happiness everywhere - not merely in the magical Great Satan.
Americans honestly believe that securing other people's freedom is actually like the best guarantee that America can keep her own.America does not want to dominate the world. Americans want to live in peace and hope other people will too.America will go out into the world, redress errors, stop unacceptable behaviour, to first challenge then annihilate threats to our liberty.
Creative destruction is Great Satan's middle name. It is a natural function, for she is the one truly revolutionary country in the world for more than 2 centuries. She does it automatically, and that is precisely why tyrants hate her guts, and are driven to attack her. An enormous advantage, tyrants fear her, and their oppressed peoples want what she offers: freedom.
Amazingly, some suspect states, illegit leaders and some people have not yet comprehended that America's primary intention is to preserve and keep our own land and liberty and all it's prosperity and that America will do anything and go anywhere to make it happen.
Great Satan built the modern world.
And She knows her way around.
Happy BDay America!
A note from Radarsite: Bravo Great Satan's Girlfriend! Your genuine unbounded patriotism is truly infectuous. You can just feel the enthusiasim and the conviction. To me, you represent everything I love about this damn country. That unbridled confidence, that unflagging energy, and that unmittigated commitment to this great country of ours. Thank you GSG for your great Fourth of July message. And we can only repeat:
To think that a bunch of ex-Brits could come up with and dominate the world. It could only be done in a nation that values freedom and liberty. 2 things that we take for granted in our daily lives.
ReplyDeleteHave a good 4th! I think I'll stoke up the grill and cook up some steaks, potato salad and corn on the cob.
Sounds good, Findalis. I'll be over around two in the afternoon.

Happy Birthday America, may you have many, many more and thank you for what you are, a beacon for what is good, for freedom, for liberty, for hope in this dark and dangerous world and for being the protective brother who we don't appreciate and acknowledge enough.
ReplyDeleteThank you most of all to your sons and daughters who put their lives on the line, in distant parts of the world for those they don't even know, for something bigger than themselves.
