The US didn't become the wealthiest, freest, most benevolently powerful nation on earth by being a follower. Many of the nations on your list are becoming weaker, poorer and more constrained every day. They are leading the decline of our western civilization.
We aren't any of those things anymore....we aren't the freest (see Patriot Act). We aren't the wealthiest (see China, which has us by the short and curlies right now). We also are no longer the most benevolent and powerful.
Maybe if you spent more time reading up on current events, and less time fapping to photos of sluts on the internet, you'd know this.
It kills me how social conservatives never found a personal life they didn't want to meddle in, and then call their meddling "limited government."
