The Constitution, Declaration of Independence, etc., and the selfless government system set up then, have stood the test of time, and set the USA apart.

Anyone like to add their thoughts, as I imagine there are a lot more knowledgable people here.

thank the french, both in thought and deed...

They gave us freedom from English rule, we gave them Big Macs in return. There were many second thoughts.

Unfortunately we didn't give them all of the Big Macs.

Fortunately we would not accept all of them!

And the Freemasons.

But I don't think the French were fighting for American Patriots, they just hated the English that much.

Shall I do something with my freedom? Isn't it enough to believe corporate media?

No need to answer since you are enlightened. Just keep thinking inward in small circles and never,ever question the big money guys.

Well. we tried exporting the freedom, but unfortunately it just allowed those we freed to freely hate us. So we tried exporting democracy, but that only allowed the people to freely elect popular leaders who hate America. So now we're back to the good old days of perhaps supporting tyrannical despots that we can at least have some influence over. You know, like for instance back in the eighties when we supported Saddam and a bunch of other Middle Eastern self-imposed rulers, and the whole gang of Central and Southern American Mafioso lords.

Maybe those countries filled with naughty people just aint ready to be USA mini-mes yet.
