AMERICA... YOU WISH YOU WERE HERE!

Here are some solid reasons why America is – and has always been – the best damn country, period. It’s a great way to start off your Memorial Day Weekend. God bless America and our troops. Via BroBible by Neil Bulson.

The Moon

Yeah, we’re bringing out the big guns early here. Quick question, rest of the world: is your country’s flag on the moon? Ours is.

Reigning World War Champs

2-0, baby. 3-0 if you count the Cold War, and hey, why not? To quote a great American hero, “When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside… I gotta be a man, I can’t let it slide,” and whenever it’s come crashing down we haven’t let that shit slide.

Culture

Sure, you might have ancient Roman ruins and priceless works of art, but do you have Hulk Hogan grappling in his underwear with Macho Man Randy Savage? Did your country give birth to Patrick Swayze? We invented movies and rock n’ roll, TV and titty mags.

From Sea to Shining Sea

How many countries span a whole damn giant continent? Pipe down, Australia.

We’ve got mountains, deserts, lakes so awesome they’re literally called the Great Lakes, two oceans, paradise cities, both literal and figurative (I can’t believe I forgot to mention Axl Rose in the culture section!), grand canyons, and just about anything and everything you can think of.

We’re Crazy

We are a country of people descended from people who were so fucked up, so nuts, that they were kicked out of their own countries. Hell, a big chunk of Americans are only here because their ancestors were literally abducted. That’s going to create a country of people with wild hairs up their asses.

We Pull Together

For all our issues, all our infighting, when shit gets real, we drop it all and become one terrifying force. We’re basically like one giant dysfunctional family.

Confidence

We’re Americans, goddammit, and that means something special. At least it does to us, and the crazy thing is, is that tends to end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do amazing things simply because we believe we can.

Freedom

You’re goddamn right. Look, we’ve got our issues, and we’re constantly fretting and bitching because our freedom is being taken away by the NSA or BushObama, but the truth is that we’re free because we say we’re free. That might sound naïve as hell, and on one level it is, but on another, it’s almost impossible to truly tame us because if there’s one thing that we all cherish despite our differences, it’s our freedom. It’s America’s whole reason for being.
