Sowing Americanism

I don't evoke our current president's name very much because I feel that as an American the president is no better than me - the president just has more support and a more developed apparatus around the position.

But as I write this there is a lot of discord in my country. The president is all for us, and the mass media and the president's political opponents on both sides seem to be all for reducing us. Watering us down. Making our country less exceptional by burdening it with non-citizens.

I often wish that we as Americans could sow Americanism everywhere. Then I remember - we do that every day! The internet, the blue jeans, the movies, the air conditioning, the cars, the entertainment, and everything else we take for granted because it's always available to us is what people outside of the USA want. And the opportunity to pursue our own goals and riches - this only comes with freedom like we have in America.

I hope we continue to sow Americanism across the world. The capitalist model we follow has created untold opportunities for freedom. That's why the opponents of liberty work against it so much - because they think if they can control those opportunities for freedom they will control us. Give up now, opponents of liberty!
