If you bomb our cities, you can’t destroy America. If you ruin our economy, you can’t destroy America. If most of the continent falls into the ocean, you can’t destroy America. Even if you kill most of us, you can’t destroy America.
America is an idea.
The greatest, purest, sweetest, most sublime idea in the history of the world. It lifts man up, it blesses him, it encourage him, it enlightens him, it civilizes him, it opens his heart, it makes him kind and generous and honest and brave and free. It makes him smart and successful and industrious. It makes him innovative and cheerful. It makes him happy, honorable, and honest.

Well, perhaps the best idea that men have come up with so far on this side of God’s own heaven. It still needed a physical place to be implemented. If that goes all to hell, there is no other place for an “America” to be.
Good post.
read this!
YES.
However, bear in mind that radical islam is also an idea. Liberalism is an idea. Nazism, socialism and anti-semitism are ideas. Admittedly not uplifting and/or wise ideas, but ideas nonetheless.
So the assertion that the US will never be beaten by being bombed, or by killing almost all Americans, similarly holds true for them too.
The founding of America was a "perfect storm" of geography, history, politics, ... and destiny!
I feel a song coming on.
Note the lyric, "Only in America can a kid whose washing cars take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars." This reminds me of some radio coverage I heard today of the "Blogo" trial. It was noted that he liked to talk about how he shined shoes as a kid and depended on the tips. The commentator doubted that he actually depended on the tips to live. He went on to note how "Blogo" used to like to joke that he "married well", and indeed this was the basis for his entire political career ... op. cit.
The author describes America inasmuch as her people place their trust in the greatness and compassion of Almighty God, as most of our founders did. Absent this, Liberals take hold of this country and steer America into a socialist basketcase as they are now.
Wow!
Dead on.
Thanks for the ping Jet Jaguar.

“The Secret of America”
By Carol Negro
SNIPPET:
SNIPPET: “Here is the secret: We don’t live in America. America lives in us.
America is an idea.
The greatest, purest, sweetest, most sublime idea in the history of the world. It lifts man up, it blesses him, it encourage him, it enlightens him, it civilizes him, it opens his heart, it makes him kind and generous and honest and brave and free. It makes him smart and successful and industrious. It makes him innovative and cheerful. It makes him happy, honorable, and honest.”

Physical place to be,,,,,,,,, maybe not
The idea that one can be free,,,,, physical place America now,,,, if America is destroyed there will always be the idea of freedom.
Freedom’s idea cannot be destroyed, what once achieved can be achieved again
AMERICA is the anti-Obama.
...because the idea of America is based on freedom that comes from God!
The odd thing is...all the enemies of America pretty much have equally beautiful property, if they’d just develop them.

Genesis 45:3-5
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
America is portable. We carry it around in our hearts and minds.
Exodus 13:18-19
18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
Ezekiel 37:11-12 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
3. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
4. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
5. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence.
6. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
7. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
9. You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
10 You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.
The only thing that can destroy America is America. And it is.
“The only thing that can destroy America is America. And it is.”
And the diseases that will destroy America are Political Correctness and Diversity.
YEAH!
Yes! We all need to be aware of what the Communists are doing to destroy us and exactly how they are doing it. Political Correctness and Cultural Diversity are two of their tools, or weapons.
Read the reports of the defected KGB agents. Read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”. Read the Communist manifesto. And especially read the reports of immigrants from Communist states, like “Enemies Of My People” by Katie Marton.
Read “The Perstroyka Deception” and “New Lies For Old’ both by Anatoly Golitsyn
See the Vernona papers. And tell everyone what you’ve learned, or we’ll be eating grass along with the North Koreans.
