You managed to contradict yourself in a single paragraph, well done.

I don't think Reagan would fare too well in today's political climate. He raised taxes once.

Just kidding, he didn't raise taxes once, he did it 11 times. Today, politicians shit themselves at the notion of raising it once.

Military is an exception. It's not part of the free economy. As for reagsn, he chopped it when he got I so drastically that after raising it his 11 times it was still down monstrously. Top tax rate when he got into office was 70% silly.

True, you really think any politician or special interest group today would care though?

My point was that politicians today are too concerned about their own personal aspirations to bother doing the right thing if it's in anyway way politically risky. Plus how isn't the military part of the "free economy"? It fuels an entire private industry (government contractors).

3. If I need customer service at 4 AM on a Tuesday, guess what? I'm gonna fucking get it.

4. We have it so good here that people have nothing better to do than to get angry over some lion in Zimbabwe.


5. I fucking live here.

You know you reached a new level of first world greatness when you can fly out to an nature preserve in Africa, pay the locals to lure a lion to you, and then shoot the fucker from the comfort of your seat. Suck it foreigners!! This is what winning looks like.

Anyone with money can do that. It's a matter of distaste that an American would WANT to do that.

Because we build tanks out of beer

I love it when foreigners that moved here say America sucks, but then dont go live where they came from.

The reason why America is so great is illustrated by Obama. Poor, mixed race person was able to become President. The only limitation is yourself in America, and even that is overlooked; coincidentally also illustrated by Obama, but that is a story for another thread.

Like was mentioned, the fact that killing a lion on the other side of the planet is national news, or that Tom Brady prefers wrinkly balls and not some disease taking out half the population or militias taking over the country or our entire country going bankrupt shows how easy we have it here. We may not be the best at everything, but we are near the top at most things, and will whoop anyones ass who says otherwise.

Now excuse me while I salute the flag, sing the national anthem and fire off 100 rounds out of my fully auto while drinking a beer.

Guns. Bourbon. The Grand Canyon. Ford GT. SR71 Blackbird. Top fuel dragsters. I could go on and on...

And Canada - Our bacon's better than yours, and if we want maple syrup, we'll get it from Vermont... So suck on that...

Funny how you look just how I imagined you based off your smug hipster posting style.

America is the #1 super power in the world. There's no debating that.

It's popular to hate the best. Same reason why Lebron and Mayweather are hated by those with lesser to no talent.

Greatest country in the world? If immigration were unrestricted, where would immigrants choose to go first? that's your answer!

Murica....nice place to visit

Actually that would probably be Norway or Sweden. Complete welfare states, even some of their prisons look like resorts.

Are we number one? Yes but problem is we been resting on our laurels, getting fat and sloppy, for far too long.

I agree!

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of months in 'Murica last year and I absolutely loved it, except Florida.

I believe our country is a better place to live though. One of the very few downsides of living here though is we get to pay about twice as much for our cars!

BTW tanks made of horse piss dont count for much
