What a term, eh? It has been a long time since this government has unequivocally said that we live in the greatest nation on Earth. Why is that? I believe we are lost in worrying about what others will think of us, rather than looking to us for inspiration.
In the book I am reading (The Big Picture), the author, Edward Jay Esptein mentions that many movies are molded into a format that Americans will enjoy. This format is where the good guys prevail in the end.
After watching Ronald Reagan's biography (which my sister-in-law got for me for Christmas) again, I remembered the things that make us great. We are an optimistic people. We are a kind people. And we are a generous people. And it is about time that we remember why our country is the best country out there.
I am simply exhausted by the moral equivalency that we hear from the press on a day-to-day basis. I don't care what happens in Iraq, Afghanistan or Guantanamo Bay; we live in the greatest nation on Earth.
