unlike other america haters on this site, i believe, notwithstanding her faults, america is beautiful and a great country. feel free to share or simply enjoy examples of america that are beautiful. the beauty far exceeds the ugliness.

America the Beautiful

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

The Last Mountain...coal companies destroying the actual purple mountain majesties Katharine Lee Bates wrote about when she composed America The Beautiful.

I strongly urge Yurt and all so called 'conservatives' to conserve purple mountain majesties, the very mountains where Daniel Boone hunted and trapped.

I know nobody who would deny that parts of America are beautiful. But parts of Russia are, too, and parts of England and Wales and Ireland and.. and... and... just about every country on the planet. The ugliness of America lies in some of its ideas and some of its people. In other words it's about the same as everywhere else. Remember we are smaller in area than Los Angeles. Now we'll see if this works.... there is a first time for everything!

Typical. A few members start posting pictures of some beautiful places in our country. Nothing political or antagonistic. Just a celebration of beauty.

But nooooo, we can't have that. If every square inch is not breathtakingly beautiful we should whine and throw tantrums.

Lowace is pissed because of the dentist shortage in England

Here is how it works. When someone posts the positive accomplishments of one of the great American families in our country's history, then tantrums are allowed.

But when someone is LITERALLY blowing up and leveling purple mountain majesties, we must remain silent.


Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.

No, here is how it works, the fact that there are things wrong does not mean you completely ignore or demean the things that are right.

Bfgrn, when have you made compliments towards our country? When have you offered positive comments? I have apparently missed them.
