I have been in America for the past several months and the thing that hits me after being gone for a couple of years are grocery prices. All prices really, but grocery shopping was the first thing I did, so that was the first thing I noticed.
America has not gotten any better. It is more dangerous, less good, less Godly, more expensive, and generally scarier than ever. In the few months that I have been back, there was a terrorist attack on Fort Hood in Texas, an escalating economic crisis, and an ever increasing crime rate.
In the countries that I visit most of the people want to come to the United States. People who have never been here think that all Americans are rich, fat and happy. We are mostly fat, but the rich and happy part are seriously lacking for most of our population. And despite all of that, this is still the greatest country on earth. I wouldn't trade having America as my homeland for any other.
Yes, we are an arrogant lot, but we as Americans have always been the most benevolent and giving nation on earth to other countries in need. The countries that we have fought against, we have then rebuilt better than they were before. Remember Japan and South Korea? That is one of the problems today. People don't remember and our history is not taught truthfully in the public schools anymore. Our young people are taught a revisionist history that is distorted and full of lies. And our current administration is ruining us both at home and around the world.
I am leaving America once again for another country, but my heart will always remain here; in America, the greatest nation on earth.
