In fact, I thank her for acknowledging that at one time we could and did “solve all of the problems alone.”
I see nowhere in her words a slam on my nation, but a lament for how far we have fallen.
Have no economy after a war? No problem. The USA will buy your crap. Made In Japan was a pejorative in the 1950s.
Have an Evil Empire about to devour you? No problem. We'll keep drafting and sending our boys into Korea to die and we'll keep them in Europe and Japan so that those countries are not overrun.
This isn't all ancient history, either.
Have an asshole named Saddam Hussein take over your country? No problem. We'll drive him back to Baghdad so you don't have to lose any of your children. It cost us 292 good men and wounded 467 more, but we consider it a small price to pay for freedom.
And in between times, we put a man on the moon, became the first nation in history to live biracially in peace (before South Africa) and came up with a trillion-dollar-a-year program to redistribute wealth that made the commies look stupiid.
We did all this even while snoots in Europe -- decidedly a minority -- looked down upon us as cads, ruffians and barbarians.
But in the last decade, we have fallen. Mightily. Most of the nation sees America not as a victim but as the cause. The Spiritual Son of Jeremiah Wright occupies the Oval Office.
The British government failed, the Russian government failed, the Japanese government failed, the German government failed, and the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations.
When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese decent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. The government put them in chains. She put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton fields, put them in inferior schools, put them in sub-standard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education, and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.
The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law, and then wants us to sing God Bless America…no, no, no Not God bless America, God damn America. That's in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating her citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent.
Think about this, think about this. For every one Oprah, a billionaire, you've got 5 million blacks who out of work. For every one Colin Powell, a millionaire, you've got 10 million blacks who cannot read. For every one Condoskeeza Rice, you've got 1 million in prison. For every one Tiger Woods, who needs to get beat, at the Masters, with his cap, blazin' hips playing on a course that discriminates against women. God has his way of bringing you up short when you get to big for your cap, blazin britches. For every one Tiger Woods, we got 10,000 black kids who will never see a golf course. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent.God damn America?
Barack Obama didn't rise from that pew and walk out of this hate-monger's "church"?
And we subsequently elected and re-elected Jeremiah Obama.
For shame, America, for shame. More than 1 million men died for your freedom -- one-third of them to liberate the black man from slavery -- and you now are a navel-gazing, stone, video gamer living in Mama's basement.
Not the world's policeman?
Guess what? Someone else will be and he will be more corrupt than a Chicago building inspector.
Yes, we once policed the world alone, as she indicated. Where Chancellor Merkel is wrong is thinking we cannot do it again. It is a matter of will. I am not going to argue with Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany for saying, “Even a superpower can’t solve all of the problems alone anymore.”
