America, the real America, is optimism on wheels.”

- Perhaps I don’t have a say, but if I do, I’d say “Bull’s eye”.

The preamble to the Constitution of the United States begins with its mission statement:

to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

Belief in liberty - the ability to choose - as a good thing is the essence of belief in progress. When you hear of "Progressivism" which is actually socialism, and socialism which is actually governmentism - i.e., tyranny - you know that "Progressivism" is a fraud.

Real progressivism is belief in liberty. Accept no substitute.

In the eyes of the World, America is a young nation.

However, she compensates her lack of experience in World affairs through unparallelled insight into matters intrinsic to human development (spare J. Carter), but above all in terms of self respect.

I am a Viking and I respect nobody, but I actually fancy America some.
