America's 250th

[WTFMatt]

How about we talk about America's 250th and why we all love this country. I love America because there is no other country like it. We can complain. We can fight with each other. We can pretend we hate each other. But, in the end, most of us will have a beer or a cocktail with each other, despite our political differences. There is no other place on Earth like America. Appreciate her while she still stands.

BTW, I have to say Lee Greenwood and Drew Jacobs duet of God Bless the USA is pretty badass.

Wife and i just watched Disney 250 America special and it was fantastic. Highly recommended.

The rise of communism in urban areas is extremely concerning. Socialists my ***. Their policies and rhetoric are full on communism.

 

[Walleye 1]

This country is by far the greatest. Not even close. You are free to assemble and protest and say anything and everything you want to and the government does not kill you….. (Iran). I hope patriotism off the charts on Saturday. America should be celebrated wildly for the world to see.

This is getting to be huge concern. We can‘t have lunatics coming into our country and running for office and changing true American.

There is NO real communism in this world. N. Korea, Russia, China, Cuba etc are really dictatorships. Real communism is the government owning everything and the people all work for the government. People are all equal. The problem is does not work as we humans are competitive. We all want to be #1 and we all want more. Therefore a truly equal society will never work. What is going on in some large cities is experimental. Lets see how it plays out. Perhaps the citizens will be happy and perhaps not. That's why we have free elections. Or shall I say that is why we have had at least in the past free elections.

As we know it, I think the next few years will have a big impact. The demise of christendom has a great deal to do with the fraying. There must be a framework for a community to be functional; standards, order, integrity matter, and when too many people in the community ignore the standards, order, and integrity, then there is no community. The good sign is that there appears to be a significant increase in the youngs, particularly men, who are coming back to religion. God bless America.

 

[orclover11]

A lot of depressed old men in this thread not being very American.

 

[cornhead1.]

I was 14 when we celebrated our 200th. We live in the greatest country on earth, regardless of your political preferences. I have faith that "we the people" will spurn this recent uptick in socialism/communism. The vast majority of Americans want nothing to do with those policies. Enjoy this 250th birthday everyone and God Bless America

I’d wager less than anyone cares to have the guts to admit given our current path. We have a wonderful country, and it’s time to get control on those who wish to destroy it. Many from within. Our Founding Fathers would have been stacking the bodies of these types like cordwood years ago.

 

[SuperBigFan69]

The US as we know it is not going to change all that much.

No more than it has in the last 50 years or so. There will be some changes, that will piss off crazy people on both sides of the crazy scale...but that is about it.

roughly 25 years ago a preacher said that 60% of Europe didn’t go to church anymore and he said we were roughly 10-15 behind Europe, it took a little longer but after Covid guess what 60% of the USA doesn’t go to church anymore. Europe is becoming either communist or a Islamist state so I’m guessing 20 years or less

I mean...if you think that spending 45 minutes once a week in a church, where most people are not listening, on their phones, or asking their parents if they can leave right after communion, is the answer...you are way off.

Now...is the islamic faith totally nuts and insane? Yes...100%

The US as we know is cooked. A Mossad/Epstein compromised pedophile grifter who funnels in billions in crypto bribes is now the brand. Who incidentally got bent over the barrel by Iran in service of giving them 300 billion and doubling your gas prices while the smooth brains (well represented on this board) cheer on our collective demise because OwNiNg tHe lIbS.

You have the country you deserve. Dorks.

I think we have seen over the past few weeks that our government is not the people who make up the country. So many foreign vistors have raved about how awesome their experiences have been. If you judged America by what you saw on the news it would be the worst place on earth. If you judge it by who you interact with throughout the country its near the top.

Can't even post an America 250th without a commie hijacking it within hours. And, this is a Nebraska message board. God help America.

Well the Roman Empire lasted about 500 years into the AD era and most of that was filled with corruption and instability.

Look who started the political crap in this thread first. Hint: it wasn't a "commie." smh

You and I don't see eye to eye politically but we can agree on this point (probably for different reasons). The news is doom and gloom and we also have so many evil leaders who STOKE racism and hate. And the media is absolutely corrupt in this area (Always show white-on-black crime, almost NEVER show black-on-white crime, etc. I was in the media for 7 years and know this unwritten rule very well).

I know racial relations are becoming more strained in many cases - but dang... my entire life I've enjoyed being a part of, and seeing people from different races, religion and backgrounds get along, help each other, etc. Things are deteriorating because I am convinced a lot of powerful people want it to happen for a multitude of reasons.

It's a bummer.

And yet, this is STILL the strongest and greatest country on earth IMO. Lots of things to improve, but still #1 in my book. And listening to the World Cup fans from all over the planet come and rave about our country is inspiring!

City owned grocery stores? City taking over apartment buildings from owners as suggested by Mandami? Do you read ANY news? Next will be city or county owned “low cost” housing in the areas burned out in CA. It’s been proposed at the very least.

Not true. We just have seen the other side. We already have multiple socialist programs here. When you start talking about government takeover of privately owned housing and government owned grocery stores, that’s an escalation.

It’s still a great country. Many great people. The Islamists and Soros are doing their best to tear it apart.

That stuff has been "proposed" for 100 years.

Is there anything more socialist then giving farmers checks just for being a farmer? It makes me laugh reading people like you talk about how the sky is falling because of NYC, while ignoring the blatant socialism in your own community. So common in this country today. Everyone is fine with socialism until someone who they don't like benefits.

This country has problems, always has, always will, but it is still great, despite what the drama queens on all sides say.

This is all sooooooo accurate and pretty much exactly what I have said.
