Other nations have enjoyed freedom, yet they failed to prevail and become the world's greatest superpower. There is nothing fictitious about what 96% of the world believes in, so maybe you should examine what you believe?
Indeed, we can argue many reasons for having freedom, we can create all kinds of documents and ordain kings to bestow freedom upon ourselves. We can even develop democratic governments to insure and protect freedoms. But no one has ever formed a nation like America, it is unique in greatness and indeed the pinnacle of greatness, as nations go. As much as you wish to deny it, we simply ARE #1.
The question is, why? What is different about our form of government and our particular foundation, that enabled such unlimited and unmatched greatness and power in such a relatively short period of time? My argument is, the foundational principles contained in the endowment of freedom and rights from our Creator. It is this, which makes our nation unique.
The power of the people to determine their own destiny does not come from a governmental entity, it isn't mandated by a constitution, or granted by judges in robes. This power is inalienable because it is not endowed by man, therefore, no man can take it away. This is what has made America exceptional, and will continue to do so as long as it is realized by the citizenry. It is this foundational principle of our nation which is currently under attack by the left, in an attempt to destroy it so you can bring down America. This is evident by the tone of the posts to this very thread.
