Is America still the "Beacon of light" in the world?

Just a question to ponder over during lunch...

Are we still the hope of the people of the world...

Can we still fight the evil of this world and win?

We have fought communism and facisim and won.

Can we win against the present evil of today?

Sometimes I wonder. We the people are divided.

If we are divided, how can we fight together and win?

Your comments and thoughts...

I think our perpetual campaign season is creating a lot of divisions that need not exist. Nothing scares govt. more than a united public.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't think we can win wars anymore. The reason is not that we "can't" win, it is because the leftist media (and the world in general) won't let us. Objective victory is no longer enough. Now we have to win the political victory above everything else. (Note that is possible to completely lose objectively and still win politically.)

The problem is that political victory is subjective and often gets defined by our enemies rather than ourselves.
