[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] [QUOTE]SF, the point is that they were people, not God(s) or even Saints.[/QUOTE]And that's where their appeal lies, Glass. They were normal people with normal flaws that did something great when their back was to the wall. Conservatives don't want perfect, Glass, and we sure as hell don't expect our leaders to be Saints. What we [b]do[/b] want is for them to be honest with us. Both about their shortcomings and their intentions. [QUOTE]We didn't even become a world power until 1945 when the Federal Govt had to take over the whole industrial complex, and the Financial system to fight a war.[/QUOTE]Reread my post, I never said they created a Superpower. I said that they created 'the greatest nation in this planets history...' And I stand by that statement. Long before either World War people from all corners of the Earth were flooding to these shores... Why? Because here, more than any other place, one had a chance. No guarantees. No 'sure things'. A chance. That's all they wanted and that's what they found here more than anywhere else. And [b]that[/b] is what is special about this country that our Founding Fathers created. [QUOTE]Am i strying to say that it was twist a of fate that made US the "the greatest nation in this planets history"? well, yes. [/QUOTE]I have to disagree. (shocking, I know) We could go into a lengthy discussion about the factors that lead to the forming of this nation (and we might yet), but here is my take in a nutshell. Good (yet imperfect) men stood up for freedom when the government got too big, too intrusive, too controlling and they said no more. That is what the 'conservatives' look on with fondness. That instead of being bought off, cowered by fear or stagnated by apathy; normal men with normal personality flaws stood up and did what needed to be done. [/QB][/QUOTE]
