What Made America Great?

You've all seen that slogan, “Make America Great Again”. But have we ever really asked ourselves what really made America great? There have been countries that have risen to great power and then ultimately faded as others have risen to take their place. Will that be America's fate as well?

Yesterday was the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I was watching the remembrance ceremony at the memorial and was so saddened that the America that responded back then seems to have disappeared. We have always been more diverse than people may realize, whether it be in religion, race or ancestry. Yet, despite our differences, when we faced seemingly insurmountable odds we pulled together and supported each other. That's what we saw on 9/11 and in its aftermath.

One Survivor's story




There were people who responded to help without question.




And people in our government knew what to do.




In times of trouble we have stood side by side, united in common cause. That is what made our country great.

Always happy to have a conversation with Lynnette. She's the soul of reason compared to y'all's delusions. Don't much relish havin' you yappin' round our ankles like a terrier though.

So you're goin' for the ad hominems to distract from the fact that you still got no source.
Well, that's one tactic, but even Marcus knows that one.

Sure you can't do any better?

Come on…try again…take another shot.  You're starting to be amusing now; it's gotten to that point; ya got nothin' but ya can't quit.

Come on now, try again, see if you can maybe do better with a second shot.

Spelling!  Maybe you could look for spelling erors?

Surely that'll make it all better for ya.

Yappin' terrier it's gonna be, it seems.

Yeah, I see ya.  You seem to be upset over being ignored overnight.

Or maybe you still think you can divert attention from your fake photo and the withdrawn "study" that you kept trying to promote without tellin' them folks.  Ain't gonna work fat boy, even Marcus could figure that move.

Yup. Yap yap.

Oh, I see, it's "get in the last word" thing for ya.  Well, be my guest, not a problem for me--take a last word.  Hell, take two or three.
All yours now.
