How do we make American great again?

[Timmy]

The idea that this country needs theocratic values is wrong. How many strong First-World theocracies are there?

What we need is enlightenment. Education. Higher standards. More class.

We've been dragged down to trailer trash level, we need to aspire to a more noble lifestyle and culture, more like Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and less like Ted Nugent.

We need better infrastructure than Europe, better schools than Japan, and the best single-payer healthcare system on the planet.

We need to encourage manufacturing here, in the US, although free trade deals pretty much killed that.

Socialism doesn't work... See all of history

Psssst. All the winner countries are socialist. Including the US .

Socialism is the reason why all of Europe is an epic fail, and we are well on our way too.
...we are passed the point of no return

Then who's a success ? Which countries ?

How has America lost its "greatness"? Describe this "greatness". When did we have it?

When we didn't have mods.

Boot the damn illegals out of OUR country, all of them. We the people have had enough of their shit, its time for them to go home.

I'm sure you want an example...okay last year voters in Oregon approved measure 88 denying drivers licenses to illegals. It passed by a 2/3 thirds majority. 35 of Oregon's 36 counties voted yes as did every single congressional district in Oregon.

So these illegals had the gall to sue the State of Oregon to overturn this vote of the people. WTF this is OUR country. If the illegals don't like it well get the fuck out of our country, go home to Mexico or wherever the hell you came from.

What are your ideas?

I think we become great again when we as individuals do again. As long as we rely on government and even others to do what we want done we will never do it.

I also think we need to return to God, not just in word but in deed.

Return to which God? Whose God? There are thousands of ancient Gods to choose from.

There is only one God and His Name is Jesus Christ. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is the LORD. Including yours, Lakhota.

Every religious nut thinks their supernatural God is the one and only true God.

That's why Utah is one of the most tame and sane states in America.

You could beat your wife , brown people were kept in their little corner of town , you could treat them like shit wh no problem . Racism was fun. You could drink n drive . Sexual harassment was fun for all ! There were 2 religions . Jesus and the devil Jews.

So why don't you find out for yourself and seek Him out?

I have no interest in making America "great". Again, or otherwise. I want a nation that is just and free.

And that in and of itself would make America great

Which is why we need to fix ourselves so that we aren't on fire as well but instead can be a light to the world.

This fails as a loaded question fallacy – any response to the premise compels agreement with the premise, when in fact the premise is false.

As already correctly noted: absent consensus as to what constitutes 'great,' any 'discussion' is pointless, subjective partisanism.

It has been said in many of the world's stock markets that "if America sneezes, the whole world get's a cold". It was proven when the markets here in America sneezed by going down to less than 7,000 when they tanked under Jr.

The stock markets have since doubled, and the world's economy is better because of it.

We currently have the world's biggest military, capable of doing almost anything they want, if given the political go ahead. We currently are bigger than the second largest military by almost twice.

I joined when we had the most powerful military, and I retired when we still had the same. I haven't seen much in the way of making it weaker since then. If nothing else, our military is stronger than it has ever been.

With all of those accomplishments, as well as the fact that almost everyone wants to be here, how can "we make America better"?

It's already pretty freaking awesome now.

Need our leaders to actually lead us again. Government doesn't ask anything of those it governs anymore. The greatest generations all came when government was firmly in charge, and if it said cut back on gasoline use we need it for the boys over there, people did it. Nowadays though the government doesn't ask us to conserve or in any other way change our lifestyles for the betterment of all.

We're selfish, self-absorded, and apathetic. And the government doesn't do anything to change that. But so long as the government is the way it is, shit rolls downhill.

By the way, majority of the country's already religious and it hasn't done shit. Could argue it's made things worse.

Maybe. But assigning government the goal of making our country "great again" is the heart and soul of fascism.

I didn't ask what the government can do, I asked what we can do. And I specifically pointed out that not expecting government to solve our problems is one of the things we can do.

The premise isn't false in the slightest. You'd be delusional to presume this nation is great. Look at the ridiculous conversations on this message board as one of many examples of people failing to live up to the greatness we could be.
