“Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!.. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be it’s author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide” - Abraham Lincoln (1838)
@holisticnut33 “Level” is relative to the concentration of gravity. Gravity, originating at the core of earth, eliminates the effect of Earth’s curvature when it comes to “levelness” in liquid.
"The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.”
- George Washington, July 2, 1776
@TundeSilk@LoLoByke@gujols And that is what America is, not the men who created the country, not the history of her, not the current condition, but the idea of America which was first materialized in the writing of our founding documents.
@TundeSilk@LoLoByke@gujols It was hypocritical, but representatives from non slave holding colonies knew the “American experiment” would never begin if they didn’t give way to the salve holding colonies of the south. However, they wrote our founding documents in a way that paved a path to abolitionism
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
@NoContextBrits Crazy having that much of a head start and still having an economy worse than our poorest state and a military that relies on us to keep yours afloat. Looking forward to your next tweet when America is 300
😡 My heart is breaking watching this...
Justice Clarence Thomas just dropped the TRUTH that every American needs to hear. Progressivism isn’t just some harmless idea — it’s a direct assault on the very soul of this country. It wants to replace God-given rights with government-granted privileges. It demands we become weak, subservient, and dependent.
This is an OUTRAGE. I sure do hope that Congress will finally step up and FIX THIS before it’s too late. Justice Clarence Thomas is a TRUE PATRIOT — a man of courage, conviction, and unwavering love for the Constitution and the America our Founders envisioned.
In a time when so many are afraid to speak truth, he stands tall. I am sure that you are just as OUTRAGED over this as I am. If this video moves you like it moved me, share it. Loudly. Our rights don’t come from Washington. They come from God. And no government will ever take that away from us.
@TX2005TX@telizabethhxx No, I think there’s more people conflating hating the country with the current administration. It’s been going on for 10 years now
@maximusdm89@barstoolsports Dude, I’m done going back in forth. Your initial statement was stupid af saying it was completely malicious. You know that.
My whole point was that it wasn’t, I understand the rules. You yourself acknowledged that it wouldn’t have been a red without VAR.
