Yet another stupid ****ing post.
Canadians don’t even have the freedom to defend their loved ones from criminals with a handgun. They’re government doesn’t trust them with firearms to protect their families and homes.
I love this country because my family immigrated here to escape extreme poverty in Italy 90 years ago. They were welcomed here with open arms (mainly) and given a chance to make decent lives- far better than they could’ve had in the old country.
I love this country because I come from very meager beginnings and have made a very nice living for myself at 27 years old.
I love this country because of the freedoms we’re afforded (which, unfortunately, so many of you seem eager to throw away).
I love this country because my father and grandfathers were willing to fight and even lay down their lives if they had too to protect the things I enjoy today.
I love this country because I have traveled- I’ve been to several European countries, and America does shine in comparison (unless you like entire cities to be shut down several times a year when the mass unions randomly strike, like having ****ed up teeth because nationalized health care won’t fix your snaggletooth, like having filthy streets, ect).
If you morons are that unproud to be Americans, relinquish your citizenship and move somewhere ****ing else.
You’re clearly under/mis-informed. Ever heard of the Federalists? John Adams administration? The Alien and Sedition Acts?
The Founding Fathers were not unified in their ideas- two primary factions emerged, one led by Alexander Hamilton and personified by the Washington and Adams administrations and one led by Thomas Jefferson. Both factions have left their impact equally on our political system. Hamilton’s faction DID in fact push for a strong, powerful, centralized government, and DID incorporate much of this into our political system. Jefferson’s faction was opposed to a strong, powerful, centralized government, but didn’t dismantle the structure that Washington/Adams/Hamilton created when he took office in 1800.
Cool story, Hansel. I did not know any of that. But the fact remains that the MAJORITY of the founding fathers did not want a strong central government, since thats kinda sorta in a round about way exactly what they were trying to escape by fighting the revolutionary war.
