American the Great, America the Beautiful

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now we have Christmas approaching. For me this is my favorite time of the year. A time when families and loved ones come together and give thanks for our many blessings. A time to put aside petty differences and just be happy to be a free human alive in the greatest country in recorded history. This article will discuss what is good about your country.

As I was going over studies, I noticed one on racism. According to this study of all the counties in this world we are number three for the least racist. That is not what you hear on a daily basis from the media.

Was the study correct or is what you hear in the media correct.

I tend to think the study is correct because of you Bandera County.

Another study I read focused on world population migration patterns. This one really hurt my head to read.

It seems that in the last 20 years world migration has increased ten-fold and populations are migrating towards regions are countries that provide greater degrees of self-rule or more freedom. And it took a study to figure that out? I guess that’s why human migration patterns are heading towards the U.S. by the tens of thousands.

Now let’s look at our old buddy covid and all its variants. Our research scientist came up with a vaccine in about 12 months and produced enough vaccine in about six months to vaccinate every man, woman and child in the U.S. as often as required. The only country to reach this milestone. Most other countries have yet to develop a vaccine and many of those that did develop one, it was not effective or did not work.

I hit on three points racism, population migration patterns, and medical care of citizens. And the good old USA takes the lead in all three categories.

As I look back at history, I see no other county on the face of this earth that has done more for planet earth than the USA. Without fail we are the go-to country when there is a problem, or another country needs a handout because of a natural disaster, or they are just too lazy to do it themselves.

We never fail we are always there like a beacon shinning through the darkest night that leads the way. When I think back to the previous Governor of NY (Andrew Cuomo) when he said America was never that great my blood runs cold. I could continue to bore you with study after study that essentially reach the same conclusion.

But to what end?

Any normal person can see through the horse manure that all these anti-American bigots are slinging. So, why do the people of this great nation allow the media and the left-wing government slander this great nation. Why do the citizens allow the propagation of this lie by academia?

As I said in one of my previous articles, I failed mind reading 101 when I was college.

I have to wonder if this great country of ours has a mind of her own and she is leading us to a higher plain of awareness.

I do not have an answer for you. But if you look at what this great country has endured over the last 200 years and yet accomplished so much you have to wonder.

I for one am proud to be a U.S. citizen, I am proud to call myself an American, a Texan and I am willing go whenever this great country takes me. God bless America, God bless Texas.
