this is what makes America great

Published on June 24, 2007 By danielost In Personal Computing

it isn't the constitution

it isn't the politicians

it isn't the army

it isn't the navy

it isn't the air force

it isn't the reserves

it isn't the national guard

it isn't the Hollywood crowd

what makes America great is the people.

this is what i mean. On 9/11 when those towers came down NYC lost the chief fireman.
there were thousands of people down there helping out. and i bet you non of them were asking anyone what the skin color was, or where they were from. i would also bet that there were a few bigots down there helping also at that point not caring about race, color or national origin.

When the footage of all those people running for their lives, their bodies covered with dust, and hair all matted down... could you tell what their color was? Niether could I. Great point Daniel!

There are many wonderful people in this large world, daniel, but only america has this one very special and distinctive constitution setting it apart from all other nations. It is this framework, when honored, that advances us and makes us great. Without it, the people are lost.

No america without Constitution.

Umm, if you're going to use the phrase "Catch-22", could you please READ the novel and learn what it actually MEANS?

Respectfully, no catch 22 is present (the book is excellent, however).

The people who created the Constitution budded america.

The people today who are robbed of the original Constitution's powers are not able to or willing to protect it, therefore we do not have 'america' or american people today - we have consumers fed propaganda split between two political parties that struggle for control.

Different times, different land, different people.

With the exception of just five or six representatives, I very much agree.
