It’s time we all face the music and dance to the fact America is the greatest country in the world, and nobody else is even close.

Many people in the world, including plenty of Americans, are trying to fundamentally change America or take a shot at our supremacy. Here’s the fact of the matter: America is a country made by winners and meant to be reserved for winners.

When the world needed to be saved during WWII, millions of American men descended upon Europe and the South Pacific to shed some blood and show the world what winning looks like. Hitler and the rest of his Nazi friends learned real quick that when America throws on our away uniforms, we’re coming to win, and win in blowout fashion.

Our winning attitude is another reason we celebrate sports. We crown the champions while quickly forgetting about those who failed to succeed. It’s the reason we put a man on the moon and the rest of the world uses the metric system. They can keep their weird numbers and measurement systems and we can keep our mentality of if you’re not first then you might as well be last. After all, I don’t see a Russian flag on the moon.

To quote the wise prophet Kenny Powers, “Sure, I’ve been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I’m not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren’t as good. That used to be called patriotism.”

Liberals might opine that our country is nothing more than a racist cesspool that was never great, or that we need a fairer economy. But that sounds like it’s coming straight out of Communist Stalin’s mouth. These opinions to not represent America or our spirit.

If you want that garbage then feel free to hop on a plane and fly to France or North Korea. Hell, I’ll even pay for your ticket.

The real America is represented by kegs of cold beer, shotguns blasting clay pigeons out of the sky, a big whitetail buck mounted on a wall and the constant reminder that American exceptionalism crushes the rest of the world. Everything else is worthless noise perpetuated by those stuck in a cycle of losing.

Far-left liberals can keep their ideas about how America needs to become more like socialist France or communist China. I’ll gladly keep my guns, cold beer, and football on the weekends. After all, America is undefeated in World Wars and Super Bowls, and that’s not changing anytime soon.
