A lot of people born in the US don't know what they have, I live in a democracy, but I have nowhere near the level of freedom or (codified) checks and balances you do.
So, in a sense, the USA means a huge deal to me because of what it represents.
You are more right than you know. I have been in some real shitholes in the world, and some nice places as well. I still chose to come back to the US and retire.
The US means a huge deal to me, born and raised here. Not that anything is perfect, but free and fair elections as well as the rule of law were never questioned. Now they're both at risk.
I don't talk about what I'd die for because nothing's managed to kill me yet, and it's not for a lack of trying. I'd certainly kill over many single issues that are FUBAR, and we've got a LOT of those. It may come to that's the best (or only) solution, but we all hope not. Right now we're all focused on DJT not being poisoned or abused, and emerging from the hospital intact. The timing of this right when Blackstone is taking over the merger of the Fed and the US Treasury has DS written all over it ...
Completely true. I was born in communist Romania, my father was jailed in Popa Sapca (Popes Hat Prison) for helping people flee communist Ro where he was beaten and tortured for 14 months potentially facing 7 years and never broke. We came to the US in 86 and I can still remember my family gathering around a tv in '89 watching the revolution, teary eyed. For my family and many Romanians of that time, America is and will always be "the promised land flowing with milk and honey" from the Bible. We value the freedoms in America because they cost us a lot, and you don't value what doesn't cost you. God bless the USA, God protect us from the evil communists, God help create more avenues for people to get involved.
“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”
100% this. Fled the Eastern Block in the early 80s. A free country is worth fighting and worth dying for. Stupid entitled leftists need the gov'ts boot on their throat before they will ever appreciate this.
My mother was born in Warsaw in '42. Her parents smuggled her (and themselves) out in packing crates and a fruit basket. My father was born 2 weeks before his parents fled N. Ireland in 1938. Both kids grew up to have a fierce love of the US. My Polish grandfather died before the wall fell. He never spoke with his family after they got out. Thankfully the Irish side has stayed in touch. I finally got to visit little the village near Warsaw where my mother was born. None of my family survived. The fucking Nazis butchered them as "less than humans". That is what infuriates me about these little street rats calling people "fascist" and "Nazi"
Couldn't agree more, I work with and have spent much time in aid-relief projects around the world. America is bay FAR the greatest country on earth. Even in the European countries that people reference as better than America they don't have the amount of excess we have in the US. What many in the US consider basic amenities in other countries are considered luxuries.
People who were part of that history or at least studied it know the truth. I doubt half the street rats even know who was on the Axis in WW2. "Nazi" has just become the word of choice for these ignorant fools.
Agreed. They throw it around as an insult. The worst part about it is that they are the ones acting like the Nazis and fascists. Almost everything they do falls right in line with either a belief or action those groups did. THe current historical ignorance is almost terrifying, to be honest.
They don't ever think they will have that boot on their throat. They always think they will be on the side of power.
Useful idiots. They won't be anywhere near the power and, neither will their parents. Even tho they think they will. They're not part of it. In fact, a lot of the people you would think will be in power, absolutely won't be. Take the Clintons for instance. They are worthless to the globalist powers now. They have no power anymore.
This is true, leftism specifically targets college age women because they can swayed more often by emotional arguments not based in facts. The women get the men to agree with them because the men at that age just want to get laid so they'll agree with whatever cuckery a women says to do so.
I bet a lot of immigrants who fled to this country to escape tyranny would sooner die for this country's ideals than a lot of native citizens.
Some people won't know what they have until it's gone. We're so damn lucky to live in a country where people can be this spoiled!

The issue is being able to emigrate legally, the immigration system means it is very difficult to come in lawfully.

How is black stone talking over? Black stone is a private company also.

We love our based immigrants! Anyone that thinks our freedom is free needs to look over Arlington National cemetery.

Your story brought tears to my eyes. Every. Single. Word. God bless you, your family, and God Bless America.
Thank you. The really impressive family members are long gone. Some amazing stories there, let me tell you!
Even the worst off in our society are pampered compared to what previous generations had to go through during the war. People take a lot of granted.

Yep. Some scary ass stories from the Depression and war years. Especially in Europe. Sawdust bread, roof rabbits....

I'm sure they know where a lot of the bodies are buried. They're pretty old though. I guess Chelsea is next up.
My family fled the eastern block in the '80s as well, which part? We left Romania.
Poland.
I propose a citizen swap

I was just telling my dad about this haha
Stop pretending they'll vote. Don't encourage them. Just because they hate Trump doesn't mean they'll vote Biden, or vote at all.
America is an idea to make a better life and version of yourself. No caste system. Not where you’re from but what you bring to the table.
Hear, Hear..
