You Should Be Proud of America, Part I

I hear professors prattling, I hear the reporters berate, I see tech fascists side with China, claim all who oppose them are ‘hate.’ I see young people lost and mad, attacking people in the streets, minds poisoned by the folks above, Told to go find ‘nazis’ to beat. I see a major party that now embraces socialism, claiming our past is all evil, that all must see through their prism. But given all socialism killed they deserve only our anger, you should be proud of America, no nation has done it better. No nation was built on ideas instead of brute conquest or tribe, we took the best mankind thought up, then wrote it into law with pride. Though it took trial and error to see freedom was applied right, we shed our blood to push it on, we started and finished this fight. The standard set for other states, the impulse for their own reforms, were it not for our founders words freedom wouldn’t have become a norm. Most still have not reached out level, we remain freedom’s trend-setter, you should be proud of America, no nation has done it better. How many nations were willing to let their citizens compete? To set free the productive urge, and let loose true creative feats? How many technologies that have improved the human state came from free people striving to make money and do something great? We let people chose for themselves and the results speak loud and clear, we flew a plane, launched a roadster, and made bounteous food appear. How many genres did we make; books, film, and music, we’re go-getters, You should be proud of America, No nation has done it better. CONCLUDES IN PART II.
