Eff Eric Holder. His opinion is worth less than a warm bucket of puke.
For example, The following is an excerpt from the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" (1886) (celebrating America's 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) by Black Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett on "The Greatness of America."
- Note that this Sermon is delivered only a few years after the end of the Civil War by this outstanding scholar/legislator/Bishop of the A.M.E. Church.
"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" - Library of Congress - African-American SectionIf current generations of youth in America go to the LOC web site and read this lengthy Address by a remarkable Black scholar of history, Ohio State Legislator, and A.M.E. Bishop, who had lived through the years surrounding the Civil War, then their perspective might be enhanced, enlarged and encouraged by their pride in such an intellectual giant from America's history.
Soo...Here it is.....

Life will never be great for you, Eric. Or any other corrupt godless socialist politician and professional victim like you who harbors nothing but hate in your heart and the blinding drive for socialjusticerevenge controlling your every thought and action.Don't look now, Eric, but there is no greater country on earth for people to live freely and with more economic opportunity than right here in America with our God-given rights and our constitution guaranteeing freedom including freedom of speech and freedom of religion and all our other rights and freedoms, including equality under the law, and the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, etc.
Really. Name a greater country that offers more freedom and opportunity. Even for black people. I said freedom not SOCIALISM. You can't do it because there is none.
Oh, you say you have to fight for your constitutional rights? Well, welcome to the club. And never give up that fight. Powerful people in powerful parties are forever trying to gain more power, grow bigger and more powerful government, and more control over we the people, Stay armed and ever vigilant. Ask MLK. Never give up the fight for freedom! Btw, may be news to some, but socialism is the opposite of freedom.
Our constitution guarantees us a republican form of government with strictly limited and defined powers allowing no king, no emperor, no dictator, no powerful central government, no socialist state or police state oppressing we the people. But we have to fight to keep it that way.
We are a self-governed constitutional republic! Not a democracy, not a socialist state. No other form of government is greater or offers more freedom or opportunity for the people! ALL the people regardless of race or religion.
What makes us less great today than yesteryear is when corrupt powerful people in political parties conspire together to whittle away at our constitutional rights and protections and try to fundamentally transform America from a free republic to a socialist state.
America is a rich country full of freedom and opportunity. Why do you think millions of people try to break IN to America every year? With the possible exception of Muslims who want to break in and take over every country in the world, we don't see millions of people trying to break in to Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, or any other socialist country. Why is that?
America was great since day 1. That’s why we win every war, outproduce every country, and achieve more Nobel Prizes in science and medicine than anyone else. We also have this thing called “freedom” which no other country believes as much in.
I wish someone would ask him to give an example of a great nation, and why he hasn’t moved there.
Bump!
Thanks for the repost. Very well stated by Jim.
Thank You, my FRiend!

Eric Holder is part of the element in this country that prevents greatness.
Eric, Hitler would have loved watching you dance for him. Tojo would have just thrown your black ass in a fire.
Holder is willfully ignorant and a sower of discord.
It appears that Eric Holder is not happy here.
So he should leave for a better place than the US.
Good luck, sucker
“The photo is a gathering of the greatest explorers in the history of man, all Americans. They are elite beyond elite. Buzz Aldrin can do whatever he wants, including wear silvery tuxedos and flag socks — he is a moonwalker from Apollo 11.”
Eric Holder would look at that photo and just see a bunch of old priviliged white men.
The left hates America because it stands in the way of building its Marxist utopia. Since they can’t admit that they pretend to hate it because it wasn’t a perfect creation. No nation has ever been, but America has gone above and beyond in trying to correct its imperfections. That will never be enough for leftists. They don’t believe in forgiveness or redemption.
America was always great, that is with the exception of the Clintons, Holder, and Obama days of their so called public service. (Pubic service for Clinton)
Well said and so true!
Great post. I may just add that you have only scratched the surface. Not your fault. America’s greatness is too massive for 5000 words. This world would be a far darker place had America never existed. Far darker.
