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

@NJDevils THANK GOD - only a year too late

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@NJDevils @NJBPU @NJDevils this is just insulting to the fans

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@NJDevils Any response to the 9-0 ass kicking last night?

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@BizNasty2point0 #FireFitzy this team is not it and needs to be shaken up asap. NMC killing us. Unable to get Quinn. Unacceptable.

@TheBrattPack63 Mason Geertsen > Luke Hughes

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

The @BuffaloSabres now have 9 more goals on home ice than the @NYRangers 😂😂😂

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@TheBrattPack63 4-2 Devils, Cap’Nico getting the first goal

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@matt_NJD Give him a blank check

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@TheBrattPack63 No praise for Pesce? Thought he was incredible this season, always playing 110% and putting the body on the line!

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@spelunky_ Do people pay to watch Jack play?

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@spelunky_ 5’3

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@matt_NJD I think this could work

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@papiblez That has to be the only mask going forward

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@JamesNicholsNHL Marky was absolutely locked in tonight - if that doesn’t say 1A idk what does

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@matt_NJD Pesce just shot to fan favorite of the year for that PK

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

So after that game, any #NJDevils fans that spoke ill of Marky have to be eating their words, right?

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@TheBrattPack63 🔥

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@DanLetso9 Devils win though 😈

[Nicholas Battaglia @Nick_bat2]

@austinabbott Waddle and Pollard for CMC. (Very deep team where either would be a flex)
