That's why countries like china thrive is because they stick to their guns, they are tough, level headed, they react to problems and think ahead instead of just dealing with things as they come, they stick to their principals, and they do whats best for their country.
Now, I'm not saying china or communism is good, it isn't, but if America had their train of though and conviction but applied it to what made America great originally we would still be a powerhouse.
But we have become a bunch of ***** ass bitches that care more about feelings and a government that now only cares about it's parties own interests instead of working for the best interests of the country. We don't solve problems, we just slap on band aids.
We need the tough people who will make tough choices in order to make America great. But we don't have that now, we have people who only care about their personal political and financial gain, and they worry about what to rename something so no one gets their feelings hurt.
We need people who love america and love what makes us such a great country, but has the will, tenacity, conviction and determination china and Russia have and apply those traits to American values.
