Moral Values: The Shinning City on the Hill!

"How far that little candle throws his beams!" Portia, Merchant of Venice.

On fox news, I just heard a democrat hack suggest the election outcome fraudulent because the result conflicts with exit poll data. At approximately 7:00 p.m., on election night, this party hack was sipping on champagne, celebrating a kerry win. Then, the juggernaut of raw data/real votes (the only data worth a lick of salt) resulted in this hack having to cork her bottle.

This hack is a perfect example of a self-hating American determined to unite post-election America? These hacks just don't get it. Values count. Not just bible thumping values (I personally don't oppose gay marriage; frankly, I don't care enough one way or the other); but also American values: Freedom, etc...

I ask: Why do the elite circles of "world citizens", e.g., U.N. Sec. Kofi, irrationally despise this Country? To the liberal world elitist, I have seen much of the world and it is a dark and shitty place. America, for all her short comings, is, indeed, a shinning city on the hill. "

The French have a long history. My complaint is where they stand now; Lafayette’s been dead a long time now. No?

Responding to the suggestion that Canada boycott the American market place, sunwukong wrote:

"Certainly impractical in the short term. It's the same reason people rob banks, "Because that's where the money is." Until India and/or China exceed the USA's market power, the convenience of selling/buying from you is too great. "

This statement implicates the inevitable rise & fall of world powers.

Queries:

When precisely (define long term) will China &/or India exceed the market power of the USA? What will the respective market share of these powers be? What will be their respective strengths & weaknesses? Will political & social issues affect this propsoition; should such considerations factor in to Canada’s expected convenience in shopping at Chinamart?

Concerning Canada’s healthcare system, sunwukong wrote:

"Now you're going for surreal -- remember that corporate America's R&D is in the USA. Why aren't your national measures of health (e.g., infant mortality, life expectancy) higher than ours? Are you saying that somehow Canada has the economic clout to siphon off the benefits of your R&D to benefit us greater than yourselves?"

My pregnant sister had a horrific time while in Canada. At one urgent point, she was told she would have a 5 week wait to see a doctor. Her husband (now an American citizen) had to drop everything to drive across the border to get the urgent care my sister and nephew required. I have heard of penicillin shortages, etc… Are you really sure Canada's healthcare system is all that you pretend?
