America always has been that shining city on the hill.
Without it, where will people go? (And would someone mind telling me that?)
Think about it. In this upcoming election, and afterward.
American leadership: the world's best hope?

President Ronald Reagan said it best:
Not too long ago two friends of mine were talking to a
Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the
midst of his story one of my friends turned to the other and said, “We
don’t know how lucky we are.” And the Cuban stopped and said, “How lucky
you are! I had someplace to escape to.” In that sentence he told us the
entire story. If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to.
This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is
beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to
sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the
long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this
election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or
whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little
intellectual élite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us
better than we can plan them ourselves.
Ronald W. Reagan, 40th President of the United States. Official portrait, 1981.
That's the deal. We're not just talking about our own way of life. We're talking about the greatest refuge of freedom in a world getting rapidly drunk on the schemes of one despot after another.

In 2012 the extinction horizon is a LOT closer than one generation away.
Vote and save our great Nation and freedoms Nov 6th.,
Not voting gives a vote to Obamunism, the One-World Socialist Anti-American ideology.
If you notice, Republicans represent business and prosperity while liberals represent welfare and whining now who do you think will praise America as being exceptional?
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883
if this happens the way people think i would ask what did all those great men and women die for?? they died for freedom and to disrespect their sacrifices like this would be just heinous while i may not be american i have always been very immpressed with the capacity of america to accept the people fleeing oppression and i agree where will they go because lets be honest canada follows suit generally with the us so if this comes about there its only a matter of time before we are oppressed as well
i pray to god this does not happen the way alot expect it too
Look forward to seeing you around Rocko !
