on progressives

There is a slice of society which thinks very little of the United States and its' standing within the placement of countries around the world worthy of praise. This group seems to have become more vocal since the beginning of the Bush 43 administration. This, "slight" which permeates the progressive liberal wing of society has grown some in size and in the volume which they criticize the country and certain segments of society. First to blame the US and always there to stand with other countries which have decided the US is to blame for all the ills of the world.

I've noticed that this, "appearance of fairness" (blame America) is something these groups seem to want to claim as one of their pillars of righteousness. Regardless of the facts which may show convincing or even absolute proof to contradict claims, these groups continue to decry certain actions of the US even when the actions are of a necessity. Trying to keep America down is no way to bring other countries up in status. Blaming America for the ills of others does not make other countries any more healthy.

America does more for others in this world than any other country on the planet. This country is able to give and do more for others because we have been blessed. In order for us as a country to continue to receive those blessings certain requirements had to be met and maintained by the inhabitants of this great land. This all relates back to the founding of our country and the belief in God that the founders had and that became instilled into those early settlers of this great nation.

I believe the religious influence from those early days and in which a majority of people in America still have is the underlying reason for much of the discontent many progressives have today. To me the complaints of the progressives are more of an attempt to lessen the voice of religious freedom and instill this secular belief system in which they have invested so much time and energy over the years. They will continue to belittle the accomplishments of the country while at the same time try to reduce the influence religion has with the people of this country.
