Zone1 Why is the US the best country in the world?

[Dr Grump]

I

It is people like you who helped to make our nation one in decline. For decades a growing amount of people in power are crazy or/are empowered due to pressures form the elites. Countless police/fire departments have lesbians in charge of them as an example. It must be so fun for the men who have took the slings and arrows in their careers put into second place as they stand behind that.

l literally have no idea what you are talking about here.

Hey, I thought Biden was an idiot, too. You mean Trump is asking Congress if he can put tariffs on other countries? He is giving due process to all those people being dragged in by ICE? He didn't try to cancel any one of a number of late night shows via the FCC because they were being 'mean' to him? BS. He is a wannabe dictator. Can't handle criticism and acts like a little baby. Ditto his appointments - Bondi, Patel, Hesgeth. Total disgrace to the US. All of them. And they will be remembered as such too.

Did you call Obama a dictator? He did an end-run around Congress when he pushed through the “deal” with Iran.

Or what about Biden? Did you call him a dictator when he forced the working class to pay off the loans of college grads, again without Congress?

And who cares that Trump can’t handle criticism? (You think Obama could?!) He stopped the illegals, bombed Iran’s nukes, ramped down on Jew-hate on college campuses, gave a big tax cut to the working class, etc, etc.

Conservatives care about POLICIES. Leftists like you care about personalities. Besides, we NEED a tough personality to combat the Left.

Glad we have Trump.

 

[Godboy]

Not my party. You have given it false equivalency. Your party's riot was to overthrow a govt. The BLM etc started off as people sick of kicked around due to the colour of their skin. If you can't see the difference...

Not one person tried to overthrow the government on Jan 6th, nor was anyone even charged for such a crime, let alone convicted, nor was it even possible to do in the first place without a lot of guns, bombs, tanks and military aircraft.

Dont exagerate that single riot in order to justify your endless left wing riots. That sh*t is weak.

Obama or Biden never went after free speech. I note how you don't comment on due process. No surprises there.

Instead of acting like a spoiled brat and thinking he has the keys to the castle, maybe he should stick to policies.
Trump is a ******* idiot, although I might be doing idiots a disservice by comparing him to them.

He couldn't give a rat's arse about you. None of you.

I know to uber right-wingers anybody who is just normal is a leftist. You just don't understand how far to the right your are. You do realise that Reagan was a normal right-winger. You lot, are to the right of Attila the Hun.

Why were they there then?

Please, no one truly believe that group of idiots represented the Republican Party nor that they were trying to overthrow anything. They were live streaming and taking selfies. It was like the dog chasing the car, doesn’t know what he’ll do if he catches it. This was a bunch of people who went out to a protest then broke some windows and got inside.

 

[Southern Dad]

Meh. Your health care system is a mess. If you add up all your taxes and insurances, you still have a fair whack out of your wallet. What is your monthly health premium? For a family of three mine is AUD$358 (about $260 USD on current exchange rate).
Also, remember those Nordic and Northern European countries always rate as the happiest people on the planet.

My healthcare cost per year is $382. I have TRICARE PRIME. It’s a perk of having retired from the military. While some may think our healthcare system is a mess, I have a friend who lives in London. He got kidney stones a few years ago, and had to wait several weeks before they began treatment. Oh they gave him some good drugs and he was off work, but really, weeks? I got kidney stones and went that day for treatment. If I need an MRI, it’s that day or the next day. When I need a doctor appointment, one call, that’s all. No waiting weeks.

 

[Southern Dad]

Oh I know. But I just find it interesting that Americans - especially the loud noisy ones - keep on telling everybody how great they are. I rarely find other nationals from other countries saying that. It's almost like the US has short-man syndrome.

We don’t have to say that we are great. When the wolf knocks at the door, the other countries look to the United States for help. As I have said, people cross deserts, swim rivers, and cross oceans in leaky boats just to illegally enter this country. Australia? Where do the RAAF get their aircraft? The F-35A, the F/A 18A, and the EA-18G? All American. Let’s not mention that you have about a hundred of them total.

Clearly you watch one side of the media coverage and draw your conclusions from only what they say, have you ever been to the United States?

You have a really short memory. Both Biden and Obama used the government to leverage social media platforms to deplatform conservatives and other critics.

My mother is English. The National Health is pretty good. We lived over there for a while, and never had much of a problem. I'm sure for every story you have that is bad I have a good one. And I'm sure there are literally millions of Americans who are on waiting lists and do not have immediate access like you. Glad you have the TRICARE program. You deserve it if you served.

We have people trying to get in here too. They usually try via south-east Asia. My partner was a refugee from Vietnam. Thing is, Australia is hard to get into due to being surrounded by water. We don't have a porous border like your Southern one. As an FYI, my partner's father had a choice of either coming to Australia or the US. He chose Aussie. My partner's first husband's family chose the US. They live in Texas. Although, a few of them are now heading back to Vietnam to live.

 

[Dr Grump]

Clearly you watch one side of the media coverage and draw your conclusions from only what they say, have you ever been to the United States?

Been to the states several times. Well, I just listen to Trump, Patel et al speak. That's where I get my information from. I mean the bar is so low now for a country with the status of the US it is ridiculous. Out of 330 million people you get Trump and Biden? I mean, if Hilliary had been successful and gotten two terms, a Bush or Clinton would have been in the WH for a combined total of 28 years. That would have been just as silly. There are so many much better people on both sides of the political aisle. It does your country a disservice.

 

[Dr Grump]

Really? When did they call in the FCC? Remember the Dixie Chicks? Talk about deplatforming...

At least we have an airforce. My country of birth only has transports and helicopters now (NZ).

 

[AZrailwhale]

The Dixie Chicks simply lost their audience because they took political stands antithetical to their fans. The FCC is just enforcing existing regulations.

 

[Captain Caveman]

Yes because, we slapped the sh*t out of the brits. We slap EVERYONE who thinks they can defeat us. No nation can defeat the American spirit. We do not give up, we do not surrender. Its a supreme level of patriotic commitment that very few cultures could possibly understand. Dont get it twisted... if whatever country you come from had this same spirit, you would be a much better nation. All nations should have this spirit, but they dont.

"The thing that separates the Christian American apart from all other people in the world is, he will die on his feet before he will live on his knees." - George Washington

The British colonies were getting beat, so they enlisted the assistance of the French, Dutch, and Spanish -

Not too sure why some Americans can't get their history right? Is it because they need to boost their ego?

And what's with WW1 and WW2? Going in late and coming out claiming to be the victors on both occasions? More ego boosting ?

If Trump had kept it, we wouldn’t be in the situation we found ourselves this morning
