Capt JG spoke:
The US certainly isn't perfect... witness the current administration...

Yes, and the last one, and the one before that, and... Oh yeah, remember
Carter - now THAT was quite an effective leadership! Sheesh! Of course
according to the Democraps the Career Criminals Clintons were just
disliked by the press... How about Truman? Turns out that everything
Sen. McCarthy said about commie spies in his administration was true
including the names he named - and that was corroborated by the Soviets
when they opened up their KGB files. You might want to take a look at
ALL the administrations the U.S. has ever had, you will find that there
has never been a "perfect" U.S. or administration. After all, they are
two things that make having a "perfect" country pretty difficult - they
(the leaders and politicians) are human and therefore faulty, and, a
democracy, even a republican form of democracy is a very difficult thing
to manage without the 'Gimme what I want and everything I can get' crowd
destroying it from within like most other democracies before. And oh
yeah, the politicians - ALL the politicians, are the biggest 'Gimme'
crowd out there. Sad to say, there can be no politics without
corruption. If you can find a totally uncorrupted administration of any
country then I know I can point to an outright liar. And don't forget
the 'Gimme everything I can get' crowd of citizens that push their fav
politician to be as corrupt as possible, and then make excuses for him
and re-elect him. Anyone here want to trash this country in favor of
letting that paragon of virtue, the UN, come in and run things? Can you
imagine this country run just like, or by the UN? And you have the gall
to think *WE* are corrupt??? (Hell, compared to them, we are the
greatest most honest and benign nation that ever existed) Well, it very
possibly could happen if we as a country don't wise up soon and stop
supporting politicians that support that assinine criminal organization.
And as for the idiots (and I really do mean idiots) who think anything
the UN says about us is valid or even slightly resembles truth, then you
are blinded by your hatred and predjudices just like the UN and you
clearly don't have the cognitive abilities to recognize anything true or
false, you just repeat what your politicians told you to think and say.
Besides, most people in this country, just like outsiders, don't do ANY
research on their own to find out what actually *is* true about what
goes on here, nor are many honest enough to report what is totally true
rather than just what supports their own political leanings. They just
enjoy trashing us from within and without to suit their personal
agendas. And as bad as some of you (US citizen) America haters think
this country is, I don't see you leaving. Try living in some other
country for a few years (we won't miss you, promise), you will most
likely, unfortunately, come back - they nearly all eventually come back
- because in spite of our shortcomings, taken as a whole, we still have
the best, most desireable country in the world to live in.
Rave on, I'm deleting this thread.
