False = True ?

 

just be sure you're not reaching out and touching the faith of the phony, american exceptionalism religion. their false prophets are very alluring.

the empire is dying.

 

American exceptionalism is REAL. No country, with hundreds, if not thousands of years of history, has risen to the level of America. America has reached the pinnacle in less than 250 years. To the extent that it has died, is directly because moron socialists in America are KILLING IT.

It is conservative American's job to stop you SOCIALIST DRONES.

 

the rise and fall of great powers go in cycles.

drones or not.

 

The church bells rang all night; perfect strangers embraced and kissed each other or fell on their knees and prayed together, depending on inclination; a baby boomlet nine months later revealed how many Americans celebrated the sudden discovery that life would go on. Around the world, crews in missile silos, bomber bases and submarines sagged with relief as they got the order to stand down. In the US, the few police and National Guard units still barricading freeways and guarding government assets melted into the cheering crowds. The threat of nuclear war was past.

 

The motion was heavily defeated. Most of the delegates who had come to St. Louis, and most of their constituents at home, wanted more—much more. The difficulty that surfaced, as the convention continued, was that what the people wanted varied so drastically that common ground was impossible to find. Red states wanted the right to own guns strengthened; blue states wanted it abolished. Some Americans wanted to make the right to private decisions about abortion sacrosanct; others wanted an amendment guaranteeing the rights of the unborn. Nearly every fault line through American society gaped open in the debates. New issues—hard limits on the power of presidents to wage war without consent of Congress, hard limits on the power of Congress to pass laws without consent of the states or the people, and many more—rose up to join existing divisions, and sparked fierce debates of their own.

It so happened that delegates to the convention were seated by state, in alphabetical order. As a result, one of the delegates from Utah sat next to one of the delegates from Vermont. Late in the afternoon of the 18th, after a day of bruising debates, the Utah delegate slumped back in her chair and said wearily, “I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just dissolve the Union and let everyone have what they want.”

“I could live with that,” snapped the delegate from Vermont.

She considered him for a long moment. “I’m starting to think a lot of people could.”

 

History clearly shows that great powers do rise and fall. However, it has nothing to do with cycles... as if it were some unstoppable force of nature. The fall of great powers can almost always be attributed to the actions of the misguided and the willing drones who follow.

 

From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.

 

you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round

 

pope francis also likes honest abe.
he recently gave this speech from the same lectern lincoln used to deliver the gettysburg address.

 

Tool!

 

“It was a pretty good country,” said Bridgeport, “back when there were just thirteen states, and we weren’t trying to run the rest of the world. It could be a good country again.”

 

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Yes, no other nation managed to commit genocide against a whole continent of indigenous people nor build an entire industrial base using the slave labor of a race of people imported from another continent. Nor, did or does any other nation that has 5% of the world's population wistfully contribute 40% of it's pollution. etc. etc.

Nice

 

No response, other than you are just wrong. The U.S. didn't invent slavery and they certainly aren't the first or last to utilize slaves. Same goes for genocide.... Find me a society without sin and then we can talk.

Got it moron.... The U.S. is the Greatest Country to ever exist.

Sorry you have been insulated from that OBVIOUS FACT.

 

Michael, you are a social genius! Hope you can sleep at night.

 

Debatable "facts", regardless.... More people, cheat, kill, die, beg, borrow and steal to get into this GREATEST COUNTRY OF ALL TIME.

 

Other than you raggedy-ass cunt.... Do you have anything of value to offer this world?

Sleep well contemplating your own personal worthlessness.

 

Lets put a fine-point on the environmental religious JOKE...
