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

I really wish each election cycle didn’t have to mean so much, but the left has gotten so extreme that it does.

I’m struggling to even discuss the New York election results.

As someone who once called New York home, it feels like the city has been taken over by some of the worst people imaginable.

Communists have essentially claimed it as their territory.

I am somewhat annoyed by the fascination of media & other fools to pronounce words as the are pronounced in other languages. Do we require others to awkwardly say "The United States" instead of "Los Estados Unidos" in spanish etc.?

Apparently in the #WorldCup the US in playimg somewhere called Turk-e-yay. Never heard of it. I wonder if it is near the country that in the english language is called Turkey?

Stop calling them Democratic Socialists.

I don’t care if they’re red, white blue, polka-dotted or democratic socialists.

They’re socialists, and that’s the problem.
