I think you all have lost the significance in the greatness of this country -- USA.  The very idea that we are able to have our opinions about our president or anyone else, the idea that we have certain freedoms that so many countries do not, that we are not in an era of bondage and servitude in which our very lives are in danger every day.

Trully at hand is not the moral integrity of the American people, but the integrity of those whom we give its power to.  In them we have entrusted to run this country in a manner that best suits us and the rest of the world.  Corruption of any powerful entity is inevitable.  Period.  The question is how do you minimize the impact of a single power.  If anyone understands our country they need to understand our President doesnt hold a majority of power.  We have a system that has been working longer than the average age of any democracy in world history.  We have a lot going for us.

Americans are not stupid, we are content.  It is in our nature to ask questions and to rebel when we are not happy.  As our generations go on we are no longer in bondage and more in a state of consumption which causes us to be increasingly selfish, naive, and ignorant of many things.  

We are a country that has relatively recently become a world power.  Recently in way of the history of world civilization.  We are just starting to deal with how our country deals with its powers.  America will, I believe, make wrong the rights, but we need to use the system.  

I AM PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS COUNTRY, THOSE WHO ARENT SHOULD FIND SOMEWHERE THAT MAKES THEM HAPPY.  ALTHOUGH PRIMARILY I DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICY OR WHAT WE DO AS A COUNTRY.  DOES IT MEAN WE WALK AWAY?  IF YOU WALK AWAY WERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?  YOU THINK IT STARTS AND ENDS IN THE USA?  YOU THINK IT WILL BE BETTER SOMEHWERE ELSE?  I BELIEVE IN OUR CHANCES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND I BELIEVE IT WILL TAKE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE WITHIN OURSELVES AND OUR LIVES AND NOT LEAVE IT UP TO SOMEONE ELSE.  THE EARTH IS MY HOME, THE WORLD MY NEIGHBOORS, AND THIS NATION MY FAMILY.  I WISH THAT FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD THAT THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THE LEVEL OF SECURITY, FREEDOM, AND PROSPERITY WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY.  IT IS GREAT AND ANYONE WHO THINKS OTHERWISE NEEDS TO BECOME MORE AWARE.
