The constitutional republic - the greatest, but sadly failed, attempt to restrain the power hungry from the oppression of a populace.
"A republic, if you can keep it." |

- 1980 US Hockey win over the SU
- We were the first real democracy. Sure there are freer societies nowadays but we got the ball rolling and were the shining beacon of freedom relative to the rest of the world for a long time. - US military engineers and logistics. Our military has a stellar record in getting supplies where they are needed and building the things needed to support military operations. We supplied an entire major city under blockade for over a year. Eat that Stalin! - Compared to the rest of the world we are insanely tolerant of immigrants and we have the most diverse country in the world. |

Re: What are you proud of as an American?
Good post. It's interesting to see what Americans are proud of.
I find it a bit amusing how many people mention American sports, such as "football" (the ball is primarily thrown, not kicked) and baseball (arguably the slowest and least entertaining sport to watch of all time). Sorry, I just had to get that out. I'm all for democracy, though. |
