It's the richest, most powerful nation in the history of human civilization by a huge margin, whose current leaders have no concept of what any of that means in terms of duty and responsibility.

U2 - The Hands That Built America Lyrics

Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills, to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye

These are the hands that built America
(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu)
Oh, oh oh, America / Hand
(Polish, Irish, German, Italian)

Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
I took your kiss, on the spray of the new land star
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard

And these are the hands, that built America
(The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews)
Ah, ah ah, America / Hand
(Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian)

Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach


Halle, ole
(Dream-oh-yeah)
(Oh oh-dream, oh love)

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah America

I quite appreciate their meaning; however, I question the "American concept of freedom" as being too absolute.

Thats why it's the home of the brave....

Hardly.

I wouldn't call hiding behind the amendments of one's Constitution, in spreading hatred and disarray, to be "brave." But you know, to each their own.

Not to worry my Liberal friends....

Free and brave aren't words we expect you guys to understand.

I understand those words.

FiveParadox sighs exhaustively at what he knows the reaction will be to his next statement.

Subject to, of course, Sections 1 and 33 of the Constitution Act, 1982. ;)
