Bragging about America is OK

Many in the New World would say it is just fine.

Right off, we have much to be proud of, but our style is never to force it down someone else’s throat. There are so many wonderful New World and USA cultural ideas we let go of in the Old World, like the treatment of women. Even in our own State Department, bragging rights vs. realistic rights goes on. After all the State Department is perceived to run its own Foreign Policy, well intended by fellow American bureaucrats, non-elected I may add. While some State Department bureaucrats today think they know best (and may), they are not elected, and should be subject to whoever runs the Executive and the Congress, including their staffs. Disgust or frustration with the pitiful performance of both the Executive and the Congress is for the voters to decide, not the State Department bureaucrats and well intentioned Americans as they are.

America is still the “Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”.

Now that is what the media should be for in helping out citizens figure things out.
