Was. And it was the greatest country, because the Founders gave America the best possible country on this side of eternity.

Now that America seems to be firmly in the hands of the communists, I fear for its future.

Liberty. That was what made it best. Its been a long downhill descent since then. I still believe Article V is the best way back up.

Because it has done the most good for the greatest number of humans in the history of the world.

Liberals are people who would go to their own family reunion and bash it while praising other families.

The US Constitution is a God inspired document. We were founded on principles to ensure equality and freedom. As long as God is our beacon and Whom we look up to, we are the greatest nation. But liberals and Democrats are dragging us to Hell with abortion, Affirmative Action, corrupt politicians and corrupt elections. With BLM burning and looting with impunity and cops told to “stand down” and legal protests at the Capital are met with unjust and heavy handed treatment, then we are no longer the greatest nation on earth but a mediocre one.

We are the only country ever founded on the principle that people have God-given rights that precede and override anything that any temporal government wishes to do.

That is what makes us the best country ever seen on the face of the Earth. That, and that alone.

Answer. Our Constitution.
It is the First and Only governing document in the History of Mankind that acknowledges the Sovereignty of the people. Of each individual.
That the USA is a government OF, BY, and FOR the PEOPLE. And, it established firm boundaries that the government must operate within and established a Bill of Rights for the People that the government CANNOT Infringe upon.
Leftists (democrats) and Communists (democrats), despise our Constitution because in serves as an impediment to their desire for a Centralized government power from Ruling Over We the People. To control us and dictate to us what we can and cannot do, or think, or believe.
It is Our Constitution that keeps us a free people. Totalitarians for well over 150 years have been trying to undermine our Constitution relentlessly. And, over time they have succeeded in weakening it tremendously but, they have not yet done away with it. Though that is their goal.

We’re only still the best only because the rest of the west is going to shyte at an equal or faster rate than us, not because we’re making any strides forward. Poland perhaps is the only outlier.

My own opinion... our country was formed by men who heard from God when writing the Constitution..

I believe God used this nation to be a centerpiece for other countries who would have tried for complete power over all. We have been the deterent.

We have fought wars, and did not take land.. we helped nations and fed nations.

We also have been a Christian nation until Obama said to the world, we are not.

I use past tense.. because it’s all going downhill.. and the left know how to do that better than anyone.

We’ve pushed God out, and total depravity has taken His place.

We wonder how the Holocaust could have happened? But what about abortion? We’ve murdered far more than Hitler did. Do you think God doesn’t see? We are UNDER GOD’S JUDGEMENT. Expect things to get MUCH worse, including humiliating military defeats.

I don’t think repentance will come, until America is truly broken...

There are many reasons and it’s important to understand that the is an overwhelming reality despite many setbacks and cruel political ironies like Biden and Pelosi:

In 2019 more than 50 million migrants came to the US. That is exponentially more than any other nation in the world. The data comes from the UN. The migration draw of the US is and has been so much greater than any of the other 192 nations in the world. As a component of analysis, 42 million people in this hemisphere alone would leave their homes to come here immediately if they could. No nation can compare to that draw and it annihilates all pretenses of critical theory.

The US is the largest economy in the world. Our low interest rates provide essentially a zero interest credit card from which we can borrow infinitely. Naysayers have pretended since the 1989s that the credit card will soon come due and the Japanese, Chinese, saudis or Russians will come and collect. False. They will never “collect” because they desperately need our treasury notes to shore up the flood of statist lies that animate their intimate civic lives predicated openly upon social servitude.

The first amendment burns as a beacon against ideological authoritarianism. Though we falter the idea of free religion and free speech incinerates the social netting offered by other nations. The dream of individuals is illuminated by first amendment freedoms that British monarchs still find: Bonkers.

Our military power is exponential. We have 20 aircraft carriers. More than the entire world. We spend annually more than the top five nations combined.

This is our century. Chinas demographic implosion is imminent and just like japan in the 90s they will pass into the past in the 2040s.

Freedom, liberty, constitution, most good for the greatest number of humans, military, 1st amendment all are just by-products of why the USA is/was a great nation. The reason is that God decided to use it and caused it to be founded on Christian principles by a people generally desiring to serve God.
But with a large portion of this nation having turned their backs to God, God has given it up to their desires.

The US is the greatest nation imho because of the Bill of Rights. Any thing that diminishes those Amendments diminishes America. That’s why it’s constantly under attack by the totalitarians.

The Declaration of Independence and Constitution for the first time initiated a government intended to prosper individual sovereignty and self-worth as a way to recognize the inestimable value the Lord assigns to each person.

These documents began an extraordinarily perilous experiment placing primary faith in the inherent natural liberties of imperfect individuals constrained by a limited government; a government requiring members to recognize the dilemma of their own imperfection. Since the emergence of independent colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms.
