I believe that D'nesh D'Souza, among others, has said the same.

Warren Buffett has been claiming that for years.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

The assholes who take a knee as the National Anthem is played, progressives who bad mouth America, have no idea-- no idea at all-- what it's like in the rest of the world.

They sure as hell don't. It's also why I believe all Americans who have not done military service should live in a country where there is real poverty for a year or two after they're finished with high school. I think doing some work in India or Africa will open their eyes into what real poverty is and hopefully give them an appreciation of how good we have it here.This message has been edited.

I feel sorry for those who don't believe it. They were told distortions that pollute their minds and Rob from them the joy that it is to live in this country at this time. God Bless America!

I don't get it. Did you mean to say "have NOT done military service"...
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

The majority of the world dreams about what we take for granted.
Yet it never occurs to many of them to do anything about it where they are. They think of coming here for freedoms and economics, but they could do it where they are if they wanted to.
Now everyone is spilling milk shakes on their keyboards to object, but look at Poland.
Thr trouble is that in too many of these countries, the hell raisers are commies.

I assume he meant “have not”, those of us with military service have already been to plenty of shithole countries.

We may have been the brunt of jokes for generations but one of the few Eastern European Countries ,who are truly getting their ducks in a row today. And the Poles I've met in the past several years are PASSIONATE about their Country and their Freedom.
