The Olympics Are A Reminder That America Is The Greatest Country On The Planet

There’s no better time to recognize American exceptionalism than during the Olympics.

We’re officially underway in South Korea for the 2018 winter Olympics, and it’s time to remind the world what America is all about. I doubt anybody forgot, but we’d be foolish not to embrace any opportunity we can to celebrate this beautiful country.

America is without question the greatest country on this planet, and I don’t want to hear any of the communist propaganda that pretends otherwise. We dominate at everything. You ever heard of World War I and WWII? Yeah, no big deal. We just went back-to-back with world war victories. The Nazis thought they could conquer Europe. The men in green combat fatigues with M1s and Thompson submachine guns had very different plans for Hitler and the Third Reich.

We stuck a boot up the butts of the Axis powers, and have been a beacon for hope and freedom ever since.

Don’t even get me started on our sports. We’re less than a week removed from the Super Bowl, which is all you need to know about the USA’s relationship with sports. I was half a case deep before the pregame even kicked in. That’s what freedom is all about. We have the freedom in this country to do a keg stand while March Madness plays in the background. Can any other country say that? Didn’t think so.

During the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, I started firing up the brats at six in the morning while it was below zero outside. You can’t watch America play Canada in hockey and not have beers and brats ready to go. Sure, we might have lost that game, but anytime you’re drinking beer, eating brats and watching hockey it’s a real win for America. Do you think North Korea has people up before the sun rises crushes beers chanting patriotic stuff? Hell no.

Also, you ever heard about the Miracle on Ice? It’s not really a big deal at all. Nobody in America really even talks about it. It was just a minor moment in 1980 when a bunch of college kids decided to beat the Soviet Union and win the gold medal in hockey. Like I said, just one of the fun minor moments. Nobody really likes to brag about it.

What about our women? Everybody knows America has the hottest women on the planet. Don’t believe me? Feel free to take a gander at the pictures below.

America has the best athletes, our beer is the coldest, our military is the best and we have the hottest women. Either get onboard or get the hell out of the way. Only winners are allowed on this train.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
