Once again Rolmops, you miss the mark. A very significant number of America's achievements have been at the hands of immigrants. The magic has been that regardless of where they came from, it was here, in America that their achievements came to fruition. Today, the Left wants to destroy that magic that is America.Originally posted by rolmops:<br /> Soulwinner, your unshakeable belief in the superiority of America is based on belief and not on fact!!Both Albert Einstein and Werner von Braun were Germans and not Americans.These are the guys who developed the relativity theory and took us to the moon.These are but a few of a long list.<br />Intelligence and wisdom are not promoted by feelings of superiority,but by listening to what others have to say and measuring it against reality and not against pride or short term financial interest!
Sure there is 1730V. We can use that fact to our political advantage. Convince enough 'Progressives' that it is the fault of the evil, greedy Americans, then we can use it as leverage to reduce this country's power and affluence to that of a third world nation. Then, ipso facto, what Dogsdad says, comes to pass.Originally posted by 1730V:<br /> We are overdue. There is not a thing in the world we can do about.
And there you are trapped, rolmops. America is not a "nation" in the classical sense. It is an idea that fosters and encourages ideas. It is freedom to excel and profit, which encourages invention and innovation. And THAT is where America's [not imaginary] superiority comes from!<br /><br />If I were von Braun or Einstein, I would never have wanted my work used to commit genocide or support a totalitarian despot, either. I would have wanted my work to benefit all of mankind, and the only place on earth where that is even remotely possible is right here in the USA.<br /><br />Superior? No doubt!<br /><br /><br />-dd-Originally posted by rolmops:<br /> Soulwinner, your unshakeable belief in the superiority of America is based on belief and not on fact!!Both Albert Einstein and Werner von Braun were Germans and not Americans.These are the guys who developed the relativity theory and took us to the moon.These are but a few of a long list.<br />Intelligence and wisdom are not promoted by feelings of superiority,but by listening to what others have to say and measuring it against reality and not against pride or short term financial interest!
dd....you and I are on the same page...It's always the same group of people who want to restrict gun ownership, ban cars [for the use of the "common man"], confiscate wealth [for redistribution to their supporting constituencies], and regulate health care.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; <br /><br />11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. <br /><br />Rev 8:11Originally posted by SS MAYFLOAT:<br /> If I remember my history right. Most drastic changes in climate have come from outer space. Most scientists say the dinosaurs were killed off due to a meteor. Evidence has shown that the earth has been struck mulitple times. Then just recently in the past couple of years, the scientist say we had a near miss with one.<br /><br />Brothers, let me tell you, this is what is going to happen again. I don't think any efforts on anyone or any nation can do a dang thing about it. What I understand is that meteor strikes has been the most causes for drastic climatic change in out atmosphere.
Then there's Pat Campbells labOriginally posted by SS MAYFLOAT:<br /> Don't forget that some claim that the gas from cows cause global warming. Yep, and so does everyones mother-in-law contributes to it...![]()
