What Makes America Great?

I hear people say, "America is terrible because they allowed slavery!"
This is unfortunately true, we did get involved in the Atlantic slave trade, we did have legal chattel slavery in our new nation for 89 years after we became the "United States of America" don't listen to the progressives/Marxists, do the math yourself, 1865 (end of legal chattel slavery in the U.S.) -1776 (The founding year of the United States) is 89 years. Before that we were a British colony and subjects of the King of England, we were NOT the United States of America until 1776, it is crucial to understand this, and I will explain more on that later.
We as a new nation almost immediately began the process of ending legalized chattel slavery in our new nation, it took us 89 years to do but we did it, those are the facts, and that is what makes "America" (meaning only the United States of America) "GREAT".
We did not start the slave trade; we ended it with the 13th 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution.
That is what makes "America" great.
"Oh, but women didn't used to have the right to vote, have bank accounts or own land, that's horrible!
I 100 percent agree, it was absolutely abhorrent, demeaning and dehumanizing. That is why we as a new nation ended it with the 19th Amendment to the constitution.
Women in the United States now have every constitutional right that men have, so do minorities.
I challenge anyone to show me a constitutional right that I have that you do not as a citizen of the United States. So, let's take a quick minute or two to understand what those "rights" actually are since people throw that word around so much it has lost its meaning.
Clear as a bell people, if it is not listed here, it is NOT and I repeat NOT, one more time for those in the back, it is NOT a constitutional right.
And one more little tid-bit people do not seem to understand is that only the government can violate the first amendment, including our freedom of speech, your mouthy neighbor, the dick down the road, a grocery store blah blah blah cannot violate your right to free speech. This is probably the most abused and misunderstood right that we have.
That is, it guys, these are the ONLY rights that we are guaranteed under Constitutional law which trumps every other law out there no matter who makes it. If it is not definable under these 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution you are SOL buddy, you are on your own as far as your personal idea of what your "rights" are under the law. Everything has a line and when we cross it, things become something else. That is a fact, and we all know it because we must choose to cross that line, something we have all done countless times in our lives already. Are we clear on that, because if you are not, you just might be in the wrong corner of the universe my friend. In my corner we deal from a solid foundation of reality/facts. Just saying man.
Now I could go on and on listing the reasons people say this nation is terrible, horrible, and any negative word they can find or invent to smear "America" but the two examples I gave should be enough to tie it all together.
I am going to do my best to explain how using the word "America" instead of using our actual name which is "The United States of (key word there) America" is a manipulation tactic, a subtle one but one anybody who has studied brainwashing and psychological manipulation tactics will recognize right off the bat. As mentioned above slavery is also a very good example for this explanation as well.
Think about the 1619 project (I won't link this because it is pure Marxist propaganda IMO and I won't spread it). In short by creating this project the goal as I see it is to extend the time period that chattel slavery was legal in The United States which is patently false because we were not the "United States of America" until 1776, that is when "United States" history began. However, by using the word "America" instead of the United States the revisionists can claim that there was legalized chattel slavery in "America" for some 250 years without lying. "America" is two continents, north and south with 23 and 12 countries each respectively. The United States is just one of those countries and our personal time involved in the Atlantic slave trade was 89 years. Do you see the manipulation in there?
If not, just go ask some younger people how long chattel slavery was legal in the United States and they will likely say around 250 years which is factually incorrect, it is a distortion to push an alternative history that supports the claim that the United States is inherently racist. It is the very definition of brainwashing and it's being done right now in our public school system.
You can take pretty much anything that the progressives/Marxists are raising hell about, and it is all in the past, we have already legally ended the violation of any constitutional rights in this nation. Everything they are bitching about is things we already recognized were wrong and changed it. The people stood up and said enough, this has to change and our government changed it, it is not like that any more is it?
Everyone has the same rights under the constitution in the United States, no matter who they are as long as they are a citizen, natural or naturalized.
So, what are all of these people bitching about if it is not equality that everyone already has under the law you may ask and that is our next answer to find, and to me it a simple case of commonsense based on my knowledge concerning human behavior.
They want more than equality now; they want special treatment. In the end it all comes down to mass delusion fueled by orchestrated malignant narcissism and intentional ignorance. All of these things that the progressives/Marxists seduce our young people with are relics of the past, they took the natural progression of a brand-new nation that just escaped tyranny but still had all of the left-over problems that being British subjects to deal with like slavery, we inherited that problem and ended it within 89 years of or founding. Not just within our borders but by 1981 chattel slavery was illegal in every country worldwide. The United States a primary player in that effort.
What they claim to be proof that the United States is terrible is what I call a new nation working very hard to get rid of everything that was part of our time as a British colony that did not align with our values as established by those ten amendments called the Bill of Rights. We had to fight a civil war with the loss of over 600,000 citizens of the United States and they were primarily, all white to end slavery which in my mind shows just how determined we were as a nation to end that evil within our borders, and we did.
This goes with all discrimination that violates any of those Constitutional Rights, we got rid of it as a legal entity. The process of us doing so is what the progressives/Marxists have twisted up into proof that the U.S. is inherently evil. Yeah, I know, that makes no sense whatsoever on a logical basis but that all comes to them teaching our children "what" to think instead of "how" to think. Repeat the lie long enough and people will come to believe it as the truth, especially if you can make it so that the lie is the only thing they have ever known, get the picture?
We as a nation went through some terrible growing pains and had to clear out a lot of garbage and fix or establish all of the logistics involved with doing so as well as building a government from scratch. I mean to think about what our founding fathers were dealing with is mind boggling to say the least.
None of our growing pains or transformations came easy either, we had to fight tooth and nail to accomplish our goal of achieving the protections laid out in our Constitution, we made some mistakes and sometimes we really made some mistakes, got things wrong or things simply didn't go the way we thought they would but, in the end, we made it didn't we? We corrected our errors and righted our wrongs as best we could, and we are still fighting tooth and nail to keep those rights everyday of our lives.
That is what made and makes America Great, not our flaws or mistakes but the fact that we recognized the wrongs and changed them as soon as we could. It is tough to do though when half of our government is fighting just as hard to keep all of those evil things we ended not only going but growing to encompass everything in the end.
The elites want their slaves back guys, that means us, and the United States is almost the only country left that is trying to keep them from succeeding in that goal.
That is what makes America (The United States) great to me, we stumbled, we f-cked up, we got lost a little, misled a little and it took us some time fighting each other to end all of these things but the important thing in my mind is that we ended them, as in they are no longer a factor in our nation today. As far as nations go, we are still barely in our teen's guys, we are still learning, still growing, still evolving as a new nation trying to change the old-world ways even though we are explicitley blamed for being the ones trying to drag us back into that system by the progressives/Marxists. Remember the Marxist rule for overthrowing a society; "Always accuse your oponent of what you are guilty as you doing it to create confusion."
So, yeah, that is what makes America great to me. Remember guys, the elites do not want to end the "American experiment" because it is a failure, they want to end it because it is a resounding success for those, they wish to re-enslave and takes away their power over us, and that my friends is a big problem for them.
Something to think about guys. ~Ghost
