Yup
Just sad this is what these people are yelling about. Trying to change history and make the Nazis the good guys is something else
I’m not stupid enough to think that the US and western society are perfect angels but I am pretty confident that western values are preferable to the alternative (Russia, China, Iran and North Korea).
You are confusing liberal globohomo values with Western values.
However you want to say it…I don’t care what people choose to do in their own homes. I care about freedom and property rights.
Again do you want to live in a place like America or Iran? Choice is easy for me
In America I can generally do what I want and so can people that I disagree with. It’s what makes America great. Cannot say the same about people living in Iran
No argument on America vs Iran.
Question is, why do you think America turned out so differently?
I mean a number of reasons…helps being a giant land mass with with the Atlantic and pacific oceans separating us from the rest of the world
I would say aside from geography and abundance of natural resources the next reason for American exceptionalism is freedom of religion and strong property rights
I agree that Unites States territory is blessed by geography but disagree that this is what created the freedom and property rights you claim to cherish.
If it was just the land, the Amerindians would have created that culture prior to the founding of modern day America.
So it it's not the land, what else would the source be?
Entertain me? How do you think we magically got freedom and property rights?
I was asking you the question, and it seems that you either legimately are at a loss, or less charitably, you're deliberately dodging it.
To answer it for you right now would rob you of the intended learning experience.
Ruminate on it for a week and tag me back if you can't come up with anything else.
I don’t think it boils down to one single thing. How the nation was founded (out of a revolution) and breaking from a colonial monarchy led us down a path of exploring and embracing individuality and personal property rights. Being a democratic republic with strong states rights limited the creep of the federal government and central planning.
