All too often, America does not receive the credit it deserves for the good it does for this country and the world. People often complain about what the government has done wrong and what it should do. However, in our race to place "blame" we fail to recognize the blessings this country offers its citizens and the world.
America is not perfect but the principles for which it stands are undeniably close to perfection. No one can argue the virtues and principles of liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness are divinely inspired. Where else can you basically call the U.S. President "a moron" and still go on to shake his hand? Where else are opportunities endless? Where else can you find the spirit of giving thriving within its communities.
America has done wonders for the world politically and economically. Europe was basically rebuilt after WWII as a result of support from America. It has provided billions of dollars in aide around the world. It continues to be one of the biggest donors for the fight against Aids in Africa. It is often one of the first nations to respond to disasters around the world.
We are not a perfect nation. Since the government is made up of people, we suffer the consequences of imperfect decisions. However, no one can deny that America is beautiful. It is beautiful because of its principles. It is beautiful because of its people. It is beautiful because we are not perfect.
