“And many writers have imagined for themselves republics and principalities that have never been seen or known to exist in reality for there is such a gap between how one lives and how one ought to live that anyone who abandons what is done for what ought to be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation: for a man who wishes to profess goodness at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good.” They’re the sort of people the late, great Machiavelli described just so: So many liberals not only refuse to acknowledge our success, they put this country down at every opportunity. Yet, that’s not good enough for so many people on the Left. That doesn’t mean we can’t improve or that there isn’t any nation that can’t do things better than us, but we already are what other nations aspire to be. In the real world, despite our country’s flaws, America is still the pinnacle of human accomplishment. If you want to compare the United States to other nations that have accomplished a lot historically like Britain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, France, Russia, and China, none of them comes close.
Americans built the largest economy in human history, put a man on the moon, and invented everything from the Model-T to the Internet.
We have been the primary supporter of democracy on the planet, we have the most powerful military in human history, and other than Great Britain, no nation did more to end slavery. We were the decisive nation in WW1, WW2, and the Cold War. No nation in human history has been more successful or done more to help other nations than the United States.
