Happy 4th of July, A short chat about my experiences as an Englishman living in America. Instagram- Echomike_training Enjoy, Thank you for watching Cheers
I really want to move to america!! Im 18 and i have a big interest in law and politics, and america is special to me because their ideology for the American attitude, singing their anthem, KNOWING their constitution- these are all things i wish we had in the UK as i truly believe it encourages greater community value thus perhaps meritocratic ones!!! Thanks for this positive, inspiring and constructive video
Hey Mike. I’m an American, born and raised and I’ve seen horrors in the U.S. that you’d think could only be found in 3rd world despots. I’ve found that those who fervently support the U.S. are dotting sheep who are clueless to the darkness that resides in the U.S. to begin with. You’re probably a nice person and all, but you’re absolutely clueless to what the U.S. is. Ignorance is bliss, no?
@@discobutterflydisappointingly, nobody seems to know the constitution, and those who “know it” will almost always twist it in the ways that fit their views. I think if you ever get here, you will be disappointed in that way, but if you can come over and help this country in a positive way politically. Please come as soon as you can, we need good politicians and lawyers.
dude.... wow lol he's an influencer being paid to spit out this bs. wow lol every time when our government is under scrutiny every time when freedoms are on the decline , these plants show up. people from other countries are correct when saying Americans are universally stupid .
@@lowlygrinder2977There is big difference in taking a crap on your birth nation and telling it like is from where you came. I don't disagree with anything he said about the UK and I take no joy in saying it, because the good people there deserve to be a truly free people as well.
Im a Romanian immigrant who came here as a religious refugee, joined the Marines, then went to UC Berkeley and now watching my entire family doing so well because we came here and embraced this country and became as American as it gets.
That's what it tskes, embracing the culture and contributing rather than tearing down or taking advantage of. When p Dr pole go through the legal process, they are invested bin the country. There is a big difference with illegals. Congratulations Gor preparing a better future for you and your family. 🤗🤗
As a born and raised American, I am beyond honored to have a man like you in our country. We need more folks who understand what America stands for, not what it does.
Objectively speaking, America never stood for freedom to everyone. The Constitution is a pretty good framework, but there have always been so many people that contradict equality to where the U.S has always been lacking in many areas. There ARE other countries that are better places to live than the U.S.
@@Multi1 “America never stood for freedom to anyone” “America stands for freedom, but people have done bad stuff” You’re literally reiterating my point genius.
@@Multi1it's the people under our country. My great great grandparents weren't considered US citizens till the 1920s. My great grandpa joined the US Marines cus he knew how much better this country was becoming. That was bout 40 years after the US military sent the Army to slaughter our people for land. Our country may have had some faults back then and still does but it doesn't mean we can't do better. Especially with the layout of our constitution, which protects each of us US citizens. Why do you think we had a civil war? Reread ur history of our country. It's sad that even us natives whose ancestors were slaughtered, have more faith and heart for this country.
@@CLSGL There's a difference between having a good framework of a constitution for freedom. And a country that represents freedom. There are not enough educated people for me to consider it the latter. And what it does IS what it stands for. What they are doing in the world makes me think they are one of the worst countries in the world.
Dear England, from America. "Our laws, language, religion, politics, & manners are so deeply laid in English foundations, that we shall never cease to consider their history as a part of ours, and to study ours in that as it’s origin." - Thomas Jefferson, 1810
As an American with ancestral ties to the English colonies, I appreciate this quote so much because SO MANY uneducated people living in this country, enjoying its many benefits, have ZERO GRATITUDE to the great English peoples who FOUNDED THIS NATION. A true, old fashioned Englishman and a true old fashioned American are barely distinguishable in their appearance and culture, in so many ways.
My husband came here from Germany 40 years ago. He loves this country and even won an award in our small town, for being the most patriotic citizen! He grew up in Berlin and his family got separated by the wall in the 1960's. He understands the meaning of freedom...unlike our own citizens.
Yes, he would know. I love this country, and what our founding fathers fought, and died for. Some died, many were left in poverty, and others suffered for their beliefs they fought for. Thank you for your words and honoring our country. God bless you!
I have talked to people from other countries who have become citizens, they know our Constitution better than most American citizens & appreciate our country in a way unknown to most citizens born here. God bless America, 🙏🇺🇸⚖️🇮🇱⚖️🇨🇦🙏 Trump' 🕊️🇺🇸
A real patriot, is someone who appreciates the nation, for its faults and its triumphs. Many will fault you for not mentioning the struggles we face but a true patriot will see those struggles and make the choice to find the solutions. They will motivate the people to push for better and hold firm to what we believe. We will not always agree but we must always remain united. United We Stand, thank you for standing with Us.
@@lowlygrinder2977So, what about all immigrants that have come to this country from beginning until now, were they disloyal too? No, they weren't...they made the USA their homeland and stayed and prospered.
@@samsonian9468 it depends on skin tone, fore sure. In England and the US! The lighter the better…it is what it is. We are a very immature society, extremely immature and we live in utter denial!
"More American than most Americans". Listen up America, this is your fellow American crying out. I served my country proudly in the US Army and am vastly proud of this guy.
Thank you!! So many of us appreciate you more than words can express. I’ve always said I sleep at night because of patriotic soldiers. And God of course 🥰✝️
@@kevinwiseman5313 “more American than most Americans”…you should know better than to celebrate this statement. Statements like this have been used to cause humanitarian disasters throughout history. You should be ashamed.
@@kevinwiseman5313 What a troubling and ignorant comment to make. Surprised me that as a vet you wouldn’t know better given the historical significance of judging who is more or less a citizen.
From a born and raised Texan - Thank you. ❤🇺🇸❤️ Texans are special (to me) because we are usually the more patriotic than the average, especially about our own State. Texas pride is no shocker to Americans. 😂
A guy comes to the USA from England and holds his 1st and second amendment rights as sacred and understands that this country is unique and special and could be irretrievably lost forever in a single election thinks for himself and we need more like him.
@@jeffmancuso2715 *most colleges Fixed it for you. My dinky little town college had professors caught YEARS ago promoting anti-American practices, such as judging based upon race, selective enforcement of who can use the First Amendment, not to mention the overall hatred to the 2A that most professors seem to have. They don't hate guns mind you, they hate that the average person can own them. They're fine having a selective branch of some organization that wields guns so long as they're the ones telling that organization how to use them. And personally I was amazed at the animosity with which one of my professors at the time there regarded me with due to not fitting into her political beliefs. I didn't stay long, decided to go into trades rather than waste money on those who would poison our country with their acidic ideology under the guise of "academic virtue."
@@trashjash I feel as if you aren't telling the whole story. Jsyk, I am on the political left, and I do see the validity of the second amendment. However, I feel like it's used as a political tool. The GOP likes to run on crime, and expanding easy-access to firearms worsens crime. It is an issue they feed, which in return feeds their campaigning. Same applies to the border issues. The second amendment also has issues with interpretation. It is rather vaguely written. Secondly, the first amendment is easily exploitable through social engineering, especially in the age of social media. Free speech is valuable, but I also think it can be manipulated to effectively deny it. For example: Lets say I set up a bot farm that bombards the internet with leftist propaganda, drowning out all conservative voices, would I not be violating the free speech of others? Would I not be interfering with the marketplace of ideas, by making an ideology seem more popular than it is? Or: If, hypothetically, an authoritarian can rise to power through the use of charisma and rage, who proceeds to nullify the constitution, would that mean that the constitution-- and by extension the first amendment, failed to do fulfill their intended purpose of protecting liberty?
@@isnel1021 Whether from intention or ignorance, you only gave half of the second amendment. The full text is: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. If you were being honest, you would see that what could be called the vague part, is what constitutes well regulated militia, And exactly how that should interact with the right to keep and bear arms. By what you said, anybody who wants any weapon should just be able to roll up and get a gun anytime they want; whether they’re trained, have good intentions or bad, are insane, want to rob someone to get money for dope, or they’re drunk and enraged, or any of 100 other reasons I’m sure you wouldn’t approve of. There’s a lot of text in the constitution and the amendments; it doesn’t always succeed at being simply and clearly understood or followed, and it doesn’t always support just one viewpoint.
Everyone forgets about the so-called "educated ignoramus." Privileged progressives also misunderstand less privileged people. Idealistic theories cause so much harm. Even money gets in the way of good politics. It's hopeless.
Thank you for your message. My dad had a third grade education. He had six children. He was able to buy a two bedroom home. We worked hard and five out of six of his children became homeowners. He in his later years became an American citizen. His children were so proud of him. This is a wonderful country.
Welcome, Amigo! From one immigrant to another. I can never thank the USA enough for all her kindness. Had it not been for America I would never have witnessed the examples of sacrifice & hard work, my parents taught me on living the American dream & reaching your greatest potential. Never give up! Keep Fighting! Viva 🇺🇸
Mad respect..and happy for you..welcome..and ignore the arrogant belligerent combative women that pick fights and manipulate men to attack unsuspecting men....stay encouraged
British here and from a military family. I love my American cousins and I think most decent Brits do. We love the banter about our similar but different cultures but it’s a real compliment when Brits take the p1ss out of someone, so never take that seriously. I’ve seen a lot of the world and the only place that feels like a second home when I’m away is the states. Glad we are close friends in a crazy time for the world. Stay true to who you are and be proud 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 ❤️.
I'm an Englishman living in the US as a naturalised American citizen. Like you, I've embraced the values this country was founded upon and I've thrived since I came here in a way that I never could have at home. America: Love it, or leave it. 🇺🇸
Young man I agree with every single word you said. I emigrated from the UK in 91-92. I became a US citizen in 2007. I could not be prouder to call myself an American. There is no way that I could have achieved what I have if I had stayed in the UK. This country along with some hard work has given me everything. God bless you and God bless America.
I have a similar success story about moving abroad as well. I'm an American who moved abroad and accomplished great things. I dont think its the US thats magic, I think its moving abroad to any country and working hard because you have to and other nations offer different opportunities than our home country had. I'm glad the US worked out for you. It unfortunately didn't for me. I was born into a poor family of 8 and we grew up on ketchup sandwiches and EBT groceries. All my friends back in the US are working twice as hard for half as much. Where I live I am working half as hard for twice as much. Different strokes for different folks.
@@klevens5496 Bro, you’re generalizing, based on a Cold War idea. I urge you to come visit China. Why are westerners so afraid of China? Are you afraid to find out the US isn’t the ONLY place folks can live happily with opportunity?
Dear Echo Mike - I appreciate your honest expression of what you have experienced in America and what you believe is so good about it. I'm an American so of course I like it when people are proud of my country! I think you and I would have a great conversation about how a people should best govern themselves, a question that humans have been asking for millennia. I have a suspicion though, that we have a different view of the American Dream and what it means to "fight for it". For me, democracy is that dream - a government of, by and for the people - all people - all races and religions living in tolerance and appreciation of what we each contribute. And I include in that group even those folks who, for many reasons small and large, don't contribute much at all, and so we who are stronger help them. America IS a dream, because no where in history has there ever been a country where different "tribes", and especially so many different religious allegiances, managed to live so close together and try to govern themselves without absolute rule by a king or a dictator. That's amazing when you think about it! So far we've beat the odds in this difficult but inspiring experiment but it's definitely a hard road to travel (like in the Civil War). But let's keep that dream alive and fight for radical inclusion, full-hearted love and compassionate understanding for each other. America hasn't lost its way, or lost its greatness, because that greatness has always been our life-giving ability to change and grow, a constant evolution toward greater and greater inclusion, justice, vision and creativity. When immigrants come and thrive because of the freedoms here, we all win! No country has ever done this kind of mixing before while also trying to support the equality and value of all its people. We've had to grow into that challenge, with many mistakes, like slavery. But I pray we keep growing into it, in greater and greater ways, both outer and inner, both practical and spiritual. However, if Trump wins and fascism takes hold in an imperial presidency, and the rule of law continues to crumble, the experiment will probably end. Then yes, I'll consider leaving as you suggest. In fact, I have always loved England, so we can trade! I feel the English in general are a kinder, gentler people. I'm 77 and ready to have tea and chat, stroll the beautiful English countryside and enjoy some of your sweet customs in my final years. But you - young, intelligent, healthy, ambitious and white are a perfect fit for MAGA rule. You will thrive, but I hope you'll also watch out for the many, many people who will be crushed by the autocracy Trump promises and hurt by the loss of our fragile, challenging but beautiful democracy. America's dynamic creativity around what it means to be human and how to live together with the greatest good for the greatest number may disappear and we'll have lost the enormous challenge not only of creating a true democracy, but the challenge of true Christian love.
As an Asian American foreign born but raised in the states, I love America because the freedom we have, the nonjudgmental culture we embraced, and most Americans are angles by heart. May God bless America!
this changed my perspective a good bit. you're entirely right, and I appreciate you showing me a better, more grateful perspective. thanks, a privileged American
Wish we could do one for one swaps for people like him from Europe with the deranged weirdos we have here that want things to be like Europe. I want America to be what it is on paper. We’re so very very far from that, and getting further every day.
My wife came to America from Thailand when she was 17, and she is the most patriotic person I know. She has absolutely no tolerance for anyone who disparages America!
😂😂😂😂 that’s a huge pile of rubbish! She’s Thai and for her to be patriotic of murica is laughable! She should be patriotic of her own country! If her loyalty to Thailand is non existent then what kind of loyalty can she have for the most evil country in the world? Major turn off!
@@Muhle2America promises equal opportunity, not equal outcome. People’s outcomes are going to reflect their strengths and abilities. If you are poor and in and out of prison, it’s not because American society has failed you, it’s because you have failed to be a good citizen.
As a full blown American, I have been say this for over a decade to people. There are more Americans born across the world than in America itself. You are whole heartedly welcomed as an American. Ignore the low acuity individuals.
Thank you as an American it's getting old. Very old . The hate America by Americans and foreigners on the Internet. Thank you for actually being proud of being an American. Im proud too. Aye yo this is sick my first ever comment that got 1k 👊
No the hate is not for America… the hate is for Americans who hate other Americans because they are different. What happened to live and let live. Getting involved in other people’s lives is what is getting old. Very old.
We also have that class mindset in America where we just stay in the same place all our lives bc of what we were born with too. It’s just mainly in poorer rural areas I imagine. I’ve dealt with it growing up and that’s what my father sort of did. I know a lot of my friends also have that mindset too. The only time I realized I had I choice to change it was when I went to college then I realized I can do anything I want if I work hard enough. I’ve noticed it’s also like a tradition/peer pressure thing too, being in that mindset. Depends on who you’re around. And thank you for supporting us, brother! Freedom for all!
As an American of English decent I say welcome to the fray. To the naysayers both here and in the old country I leave you with this. If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
Dear friend, please investigate the prophecies written in the Bible. Perhaps listen to the prophecy pros podcast, or understanding the times. Weather you are a believer in Christ, or not I’m sure you will be fascinated by it all.
I don't think he's confused by that. Culturally he will always be British because being British is more than an 'accent' as Americans love to harp on about, it's a way of being, it's mannerisms, it's etiquette and so many more nuanced things. If I drive a Rolls Royce in the US it doesn't suddenly become an American car, it's still British.
Very well said my dude. I too was born in CA but was taken to the U.K after my parents split. I grew up in around north London from the age of 3 to 32. I've been back and all over the U.S (made easier because my mum kept my U.S citizenship up). The part where you said that you appear to be a lot American than a lot of lifetime Americans, or words to that effect, is exactly verbatim of what I've said in the past 20 years or so that I've travelled around this great country. Your insights are great. Keep up the great vids :)
I live in Chicago...nearly in the suburbs. My father was from Italy and my mother was from England. They immigrated legally to America and i am first generation born here...i am 64 y.o. now. I agree...I want our country back the way it used to be! 😢
The statement being more American than Americans born here brings tears to my eyes. I love the patriotism of immigrants as they truly understand the American dream.
Yeah... at least the LEGAL Immigrants who aren't sneaking over the non-existent Border with a backpack full. of fentanyl and intentions to hurt America.... You can tell this is a good man.. But don't believe the Masses flooding in illegally are good people...
My British mother will turn 100 in a few weeks. She married my American father right after WWII, came to America, and told me my entire life that America is the best country in the world.
An an American, my love for the UK and Europe at large run deep. You birthed our country, through your faith, way of life, and philosophy. Looking out for you forever ❤👊
I was born in the USA but spent four years living in another country during my late childhood years. I have never felt more free than in my beloved USA. Please, let us protect this beautiful country of ours.
Great speech. I'm first generation Mexican in the states, Came the right way, Worked like crazy so I could pay for school out of pocket, no gov aid, no welfare. Now im an engineer making a great income. I love this country and it breaks my heart to see the willingness of the people allowing this great country to decay and die.
I love you man, one of bosses is from Columbia, and he did everything the right way. He’s working hard and paying his taxes and he is making damn good money doing so. But what broke my heart is when I was speaking with him, he told me some people think because he is Hispanic they associate him with the people that come here the wrong way and try to get benefits. Javier is not only my favorite co worker, but he is one of my best friends. Love you man, keep working hard for you and your family ❤
As an American, who went to school in England at the NATO base at Lakenheath, I agree with you. There’s no place like America. Good and bad. Welcome. Hope you like it here and you do well.
I'm a first generation American and I love, love, love, this country! I'm teaching my children to feel proud and grateful for being born here. My family thanks and honors our military and our service workers like police officers and firefighters when we cross paths. God bless America, in Jesus' mighty name.
America has a caste system too bro. It's incredibly difficult to escape poverty, hard work or not. That being said, I'd rather be a hard-working poor here than anywhere else on the planet.
Thank you for your message! We Americans do take our lives and liberties for granted and need to be more appreciative and in unison with each other! Welcome my brother, GOD BLESS AMERICA ❤🤍💙
Agreed. Although as an immigrant, I noticed some of us try to change America into the countries that we came from. For both of these individuals, I wished they would just move out of America. 🇺🇸
Nope, based on voting people in the US are MORE than happy to give up their rights and freedom based on what they saw on the propaganda machine. There isn't much more to be taken for granted anymore, its mostly gone.
@@miav7160 Most immigrants do this and is the reason they are not welcome. Its not your race or religion, its the fact you don't want to be a part of us. The number one way you separate yourselves from us is voting for the left. This is not who we are at all with the exception of a few even though it may look otherwise. All you people come here and vote for socialism, again, this is why your not welcome.
I do not take our freedoms for granted - the two most important to me is to worship as I wish and to homeschool my children (29 years!). I also love that we can work where we want doing what we want. I have 24 grandchildren. So far, one is going to a private Christian school, two are going to public school, one to a preschool, thirteen are being homeschooled, and the rest are too young to be educated. All seven grown children are living out their faith, and the six with children are in church and raising their children in the faith. God bless America!
Right on. Thank you for spittin’ truth. I was one of those “grass is greener elsewhere” Americans and now I’m stuck somewhere that I can’t financially get out from because the opportunities to make the money needed to leave just simply don’t exist. But I have the will and so I WILL get back home with my family and NEVER take it for granted again. USA! USA! USA! Thank you for this video brotha.
As a natural born American I am so pleased every time I see a nationalized citizen that understands what it means to be American. America belongs to The People. Thank you for your video. I got your back.
This Irishman agrees with this Englishman! Well said sir! Born and raised in Ireland, immigrated to the US in my mid twenties. Now in my eighteenth year living in the US. I am not a very good Irishman, I don’t even drink! Lol But I view myself as an American and am proud to be so. Yes, we are in a tough spot right now and we need to wake people up. Hopefully this November will start us back on the right track. God bless you my friend, and God bless America! 🇺🇸❤️
You don't have to be irish and drink don't paint yourself with that brush like saying all Jamaicans drink rum or Russia loves vodka... silly ❤ maybe America is the place to be
This 73 year old English lady totally agrees with him too. Well said, America is the land of opportunity. You can be whatever you want if you are prepared to work for it. So glad to see young men like you having the opportunity to make America home. Good luck in all you do. 🇱🇷
So many Americans take what we have for granted. It’s a darn shame. It’s the old saying “you don’t know what you have until you lose it”. Your words are a nice reminder. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
From this native born American these comments help my broken heart. I’ve been watching my country die little by little and feeling like bo one else is patriotic any longer. Then I find posts such as these here and yall prove me wrong. Thanks for uplifting my heart and soul and keeping my faith in the people in the country which I love dearly and would die for her. Ur comments have been a healing balm to my spirit! First and second bill of rights are paramount bc the rest doesn’t matter when u lose those!
I am a Brit married to an American, living in America and I can honestly say that the American constitution is the absolute best in the world. I am appalled at the state of my ex country (England) and the path they are going down. This young man is absolutely correct in his praise for this great country America. I am proud to live amongst you all and thank you for welcoming me to your great country.
@@alancroft6928 You don't think America is headed down that same path? I worry about it quite a bit, and from the perspective of an American who has never been to GB, our problems seem to have metastasized far beyond anything the UK has faced...and so quickly.
Not to piss in your Cheerios, but have you actually read and understand the text and the context of the constitution? I only ask because most people never bother. They know about some of the bill of rights and that’s about it. They think anything the government does that is good is constitutional and anything bad is unconstitutional. The fact is most people’s ideal vision for government would bear no resemblance to the one described in the constitution, and they would soundly reject one that does. So they happily live in ignorance, deferring to courts to bend clearly written constitutional meaning in order to fit what they want into compliance. And then only poke their heads up from time to time to thump on the constitution when they don’t like something. After a long deep dive into constitutional meaning, context and history I’ve come to the same conclusion Lysander Spooner did way back in the 1870s, either the constitution has authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. Sadly.
I am glad that things have worked out for you while you have been in this country, and I am absolutely not trying to discount your experience here. But at the same time, I do think it's important to be aware that that is not a universal experience. A lot of people truly do struggle here, we have a very large wealth inequality problem, education has gotten insanely expensive for people entering college, and I've seen people lose their homes from crushing medical debt, among others. There is absolutely a lot to be proud of this country for, and I am a very involved and patriotic US citizen! But I just think that its good to see all different perspectives, and understand where this country has failed on top of its successes, so we can improve to become a better society.
Thank you so much for your message! It is what America needs to hear from a naturalized citizen. I am an immigrant from Germany, having come here as a child with my family. We all became American citizens, and I can honestly say my father was the most patriotic person I've ever know. I, too, identify as an American. Still, I'm proud of my German heritage and the rich history of my family prior to coming to America. Yes, the American dream is accessible to all. After being here for only three years my mother, who didn't speak English upon arriving, completed an accounting course and found gainful employment. My father had a job waiting for him upon our immigration, which was the rule back then. My family worked hard and lived the American dream. They assimilated and were able and proud to give back to the country that took them in and offered them a new home. I wish you much success in your life.
Thank you defending the right to bear arms . So many people these days attack the 2nd amendment. America is one of the few countries in the world that has that . You love America more than some people who were born here . I wish you all the best .
The constitution has been amended many times. It's time to bring in common sense gun laws. The founding fathers did not envision weapons of mass destruction. It's gone too far.
My Father came to the United States after serving in the British royal Navy. He was given the opportunity to come here and join the Air Force to go fight in Vietnam. I was a product of his first marriage. He was originally born and raised in Scotland.
We brought our daughter to America from Poland when she was 14. She's a huge patriot and when she was in school she had a "we the people" sticker on her tablet and other kids didn't know what it meant or why she had that sticker. Pitiful. She just now became an American citizen and we are all so happy!
A lot of Americans don’t have Patriotism or love for their country especially in certain areas where they will be antagonized and called racist for it. It’s a damn shame too, since I used to be one of them.
I’m American that has been to other countries. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Samoa and most of south America. I’ve been on this earth for 42 years. I can honestly say that in my 42 years I’ve watched this country lose its damn mind. Our constitution says “For the people, by the people”. But I think we’ve gone so far from that that it will take a miracle to get back to it. Given what happened over the weekend with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and people being upset that he survived I’d say we have a LOT of work ahead of us.
Came here in 91 from the UK, been here now in the USA half of my life. Kind of glad to have grown up in England and still have my family and fond memories I am so glad and grateful to be here. I think a lot of Americans really don’t appreciate what we have here, I am just an average Joe Toolmaker/machinist but have managed to buy a house and make a decent living. Let’s not let this country go the “other “ way. Is it perfect here NO but I believe we are economically turning the corner after the pandemic. Stay strong America… I believe economically we h
You're correct in your assessment. The young especially don't understand, and many don't want to understand, just how good we have it. Few safety nets mean higher risk, and INFINITELY higher reward. The world is truly your oyster here if you're not some 50IQ gendergoblin and know how to swing a hammer.
Great vid mate. I’m an Englishman by birth, raised on the Isle of Man. Served many years in the Royal Navy before I was lucky enough to move to America in 2012. Became a US citizen 3 years ago. America is home. I love everything about this place and being here and I’m proud of it. I’ll always be proud of my roots but I’m thankful now to be where I am. I’ll never live anywhere else. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Welcome to America my brother in Christ Jesus! Home of the free because of the Brave. Thanks for your service. God bless you…GOD WINS! I appreciate your sincerest comments from a one time outsider. Yes, as President Trump says, “Fight ✊🏼, Fight, Fight! With God we can do all things and no weapon formed against us will prosper. Every morning before our prayers put on the full armor of God! Stand by, stand firm. This is a spiritual fight of good & evil on both political sides. My prayers are with you/ be alert/ stay safe/ Revival.
This U.S. Army Vet born from Scottish Immigrant Parents really appreciates you making this video! Thank you for speaking from your heart & soul my fellow American! I salute you, liked & subbed! I look forward to watching your vid list & seeing more from you!
I am a born and raised American and I deeply love my country. I believe that there are more Americans who truly love our country, than those who hate our country and those of us who love Her. The Americans who hate our country are being televised more than the Patriots. I request that the world can stand with us to show that we can bring our country back to a more peaceful and unified country. We are Americans, we are Patriots. God bless the USA.
There is no "our" country. I don't know you, we aren't related, or descended from a common tribe. There is no we, and I have no desire to be united with your obsequiousness.
@@petebusch9069 I believe radical leftist are spewing hate, they burn our flag and silence speech. These woke lunatics tear down our history, implement social programs and weaken our country. Who would have thought that college students would fight free speech and support terror groups.
When you said "I appreciate what WE have" that really touched my heart. My family's has been in America since some of the first colony ships that came over... A long time ago. It always fills me with such pride and joy when i hear new people calling this beautiful country Home and taking care of it ❤
@AverageJoe483 America invented the Internet, we simply perfected it into the WWW.. and no, Samsung, so Korean; and the IPhone? May have been created in the US, but it's definitely made in China 🤣 The language you're using? That's right, English 😎
Hi Mike....please know that there are many Americans like myself, that adore this beautiful country of opportunities and so many of our freedoms. I am heartbroken at the number of people that have been propagandized into believing otherwise. We are fighting as hard as we are able to stop the madness. I am a "boomer" and grew up in times where patriotism was so valued. Thank you for your great video.
My family immigrated here from Wales in the 1700s. I think what you have said is beautiful and brought a tear to my eye. I found out my sur name means Son of Howell. According to Welsh folks I have spoken to there are still quite a few Powell families in the UK. Thank you for reminding me how wonderful America is.
You, my young man, are exactly the same as the other British men who stood on these shores. Spoke of these same issues. And founded a nation the world had never seen. Thank you for joining us in the fight to save this great place.
Your sentence "And founded a nation the world had never seen" is a truth that is unknown or overlooked by many Americans. We hear a lot about "American exceptionalism" today, especially from various politicians and pundits. Unfortunately some fail to understand what that term really means. It does not mean that America is better at what it does or in what it has than other countries. It means that America is unique because its government was founded upon principals of freedom and self-governance, an idea that had never prevailed anywhere else in the world at that time. The root word "exceptional" has two distinct meanings: "better than" or "unique". It is that second meaning that is at the heart of American exceptionalism, not the first. It refers to our form of government, not to our inherent worth. Thank you for raising that point.
I appreciate everything you have said.there is no other country I want to live. As a woman, America is not perfect but we Americans have the freedom and opportunity to work together to improve our country. I personally have no desire to become an expat.
I am a born and raised Texan, and an American. I am a patriotic American. I love my country. And I am so touched by your words!! You are an asset and I appreciate what you’re saying so much!! Thank you!! Keep fighting for our beautiful USA. ⭐️❤🤍💙⭐️🇺🇸
I'm a proud patriotic American. Registered Green. Atheist Antinatalist Animal Rights Vegan AAARVs. And I am proud to support other patriotic Americans: Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Anarchists, Separatists, Sovereign Citizens, Auditors.
I'm also from England, and I moved to the US about 15 years ago. I agree with everything you said. People who complain about America almost invariably do so due to a lack of perspective. I have also noticed that people in the UK often have a pretty bizarre view of what life is like in America, presumably because they believe everything they see in the British media. They have this crazy belief that the whole of America is like Detroit, and will sometimes even get angry with you if you try to tell them otherwise. America - the country so good that even the people who hate it refuse to leave 🇺🇸

Hey Mike. I’m an American, born and raised and I’ve seen horrors in the U.S. that you’d think could only be found in 3rd world despots.
I’ve found that those who fervently support the U.S. are dotting sheep who are clueless to the darkness that resides in the U.S. to begin with.
You’re probably a nice person and all, but you’re absolutely clueless to what the U.S. is.

As a born and raised American, I am beyond honored to have a man like you in our country. We need more folks who understand what America stands for, not what it does.
Objectively speaking, America never stood for freedom to everyone. The Constitution is a pretty good framework, but there have always been so many people that contradict equality to where the U.S has always been lacking in many areas. There ARE other countries that are better places to live than the U.S.
@@Multi1 “America never stood for freedom to anyone”
“America stands for freedom, but people have done bad stuff”
You’re literally reiterating my point genius.
@@Multi1it's the people under our country. My great great grandparents weren't considered US citizens till the 1920s. My great grandpa joined the US Marines cus he knew how much better this country was becoming. That was bout 40 years after the US military sent the Army to slaughter our people for land. Our country may have had some faults back then and still does but it doesn't mean we can't do better. Especially with the layout of our constitution, which protects each of us US citizens. Why do you think we had a civil war? Reread ur history of our country. It's sad that even us natives whose ancestors were slaughtered, have more faith and heart for this country.
@@CLSGL There's a difference between having a good framework of a constitution for freedom. And a country that represents freedom. There are not enough educated people for me to consider it the latter. And what it does IS what it stands for. What they are doing in the world makes me think they are one of the worst countries in the world.
@@Multi1Absolutely!!
There are so many americans who need to hear this
Dear England, from America. "Our laws, language, religion, politics, & manners are so deeply laid in English foundations, that we shall never cease to consider their history as a part of ours, and to study ours in that as it’s origin." - Thomas Jefferson, 1810
As an American with ancestral ties to the English colonies, I appreciate this quote so much because SO MANY uneducated people living in this country, enjoying its many benefits, have ZERO GRATITUDE to the great English peoples who FOUNDED THIS NATION.
A true, old fashioned Englishman and a true old fashioned American are barely distinguishable in their appearance and culture, in so many ways.
Fantastic quote from one of my earliest heroes. Thanks ❤ 🇺🇸

My husband came here from Germany 40 years ago. He loves this country and even won an award in our small town, for being the most patriotic citizen! He grew up in Berlin and his family got separated by the wall in the 1960's. He understands the meaning of freedom...unlike our own citizens.

People like your husband will restore us--if we can just get the legacy media to shut up.
A real patriot, is someone who appreciates the nation, for its faults and its triumphs. Many will fault you for not mentioning the struggles we face but a true patriot will see those struggles and make the choice to find the solutions. They will motivate the people to push for better and hold firm to what we believe. We will not always agree but we must always remain united. United We Stand, thank you for standing with Us.

Exactly the opposite of what some colleges teach
@@jeffmancuso2715 *most colleges
Fixed it for you. My dinky little town college had professors caught YEARS ago promoting anti-American practices, such as judging based upon race, selective enforcement of who can use the First Amendment, not to mention the overall hatred to the 2A that most professors seem to have. They don't hate guns mind you, they hate that the average person can own them. They're fine having a selective branch of some organization that wields guns so long as they're the ones telling that organization how to use them. And personally I was amazed at the animosity with which one of my professors at the time there regarded me with due to not fitting into her political beliefs. I didn't stay long, decided to go into trades rather than waste money on those who would poison our country with their acidic ideology under the guise of "academic virtue."
@@trashjash I feel as if you aren't telling the whole story. Jsyk, I am on the political left, and I do see the validity of the second amendment. However, I feel like it's used as a political tool. The GOP likes to run on crime, and expanding easy-access to firearms worsens crime. It is an issue they feed, which in return feeds their campaigning. Same applies to the border issues.
The second amendment also has issues with interpretation. It is rather vaguely written.
Secondly, the first amendment is easily exploitable through social engineering, especially in the age of social media. Free speech is valuable, but I also think it can be manipulated to effectively deny it.
For example: Lets say I set up a bot farm that bombards the internet with leftist propaganda, drowning out all conservative voices, would I not be violating the free speech of others? Would I not be interfering with the marketplace of ideas, by making an ideology seem more popular than it is?
Or: If, hypothetically, an authoritarian can rise to power through the use of charisma and rage, who proceeds to nullify the constitution, would that mean that the constitution-- and by extension the first amendment, failed to do fulfill their intended purpose of protecting liberty?
@@Maelstromme The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. There's nothing vague about it.
@@isnel1021 Whether from intention or ignorance, you only gave half of the second amendment.
The full text is: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
If you were being honest, you would see that what could be called the vague part, is what constitutes well regulated militia, And exactly how that should interact with the right to keep and bear arms. By what you said, anybody who wants any weapon should just be able to roll up and get a gun anytime they want; whether they’re trained, have good intentions or bad, are insane, want to rob someone to get money for dope, or they’re drunk and enraged, or any of 100 other reasons I’m sure you wouldn’t approve of.
There’s a lot of text in the constitution and the amendments; it doesn’t always succeed at being simply and clearly understood or followed, and it doesn’t always support just one viewpoint.
“ bad ideas are usually the best intentions of the uneducated” holy shit you hit the nail on the head
100%
Got that right
Educated people can come up with bad ideas too. The Ford Edsel was created by the boy wonder Robert McNamara.
Everyone forgets about the so-called "educated ignoramus." Privileged progressives also misunderstand less privileged people. Idealistic theories cause so much harm. Even money gets in the way of good politics. It's hopeless.
Sounds a lot like the 2nd amendment
Thank you for your message. My dad had a third grade education. He had six children. He was able to buy a two bedroom home. We worked hard and five out of six of his children became homeowners.

I'm an Englishman living in the US as a naturalised American citizen. Like you, I've embraced the values this country was founded upon and I've thrived since I came here in a way that I never could have at home. America: Love it, or leave it. 🇺🇸
Well said.
Young man I agree with every single word you said. I emigrated from the UK in 91-92. I became a US citizen in 2007. I could not be prouder to call myself an American. There is no way that I could have achieved what I have if I had stayed in the UK. This country along with some hard work has given me everything.
God bless you and God bless America.
I have a similar success story about moving abroad as well. I'm an American who moved abroad and accomplished great things. I dont think its the US thats magic, I think its moving abroad to any country and working hard because you have to and other nations offer different opportunities than our home country had. I'm glad the US worked out for you. It unfortunately didn't for me. I was born into a poor family of 8 and we grew up on ketchup sandwiches and EBT groceries. All my friends back in the US are working twice as hard for half as much. Where I live I am working half as hard for twice as much. Different strokes for different folks.

Dear Echo Mike - I appreciate your honest expression of what you have experienced in America and what you believe is so good about it. I'm an American so of course I like it when people are proud of my country! I think you and I would have a great conversation about how a people should best govern themselves, a question that humans have been asking for millennia. I have a suspicion though, that we have a different view of the American Dream and what it means to "fight for it". For me, democracy is that dream - a government of, by and for the people - all people - all races and religions living in tolerance and appreciation of what we each contribute. And I include in that group even those folks who, for many reasons small and large, don't contribute much at all, and so we who are stronger help them. America IS a dream, because no where in history has there ever been a country where different "tribes", and especially so many different religious allegiances, managed to live so close together and try to govern themselves without absolute rule by a king or a dictator. That's amazing when you think about it! So far we've beat the odds in this difficult but inspiring experiment but it's definitely a hard road to travel (like in the Civil War). But let's keep that dream alive and fight for radical inclusion, full-hearted love and compassionate understanding for each other. America hasn't lost its way, or lost its greatness, because that greatness has always been our life-giving ability to change and grow, a constant evolution toward greater and greater inclusion, justice, vision and creativity. When immigrants come and thrive because of the freedoms here, we all win! No country has ever done this kind of mixing before while also trying to support the equality and value of all its people. We've had to grow into that challenge, with many mistakes, like slavery. But I pray we keep growing into it, in greater and greater ways, both outer and inner, both practical and spiritual. However, if Trump wins and fascism takes hold in an imperial presidency, and the rule of law continues to crumble, the experiment will probably end. Then yes, I'll consider leaving as you suggest. In fact, I have always loved England, so we can trade! I feel the English in general are a kinder, gentler people. I'm 77 and ready to have tea and chat, stroll the beautiful English countryside and enjoy some of your sweet customs in my final years. But you - young, intelligent, healthy, ambitious and white are a perfect fit for MAGA rule. You will thrive, but I hope you'll also watch out for the many, many people who will be crushed by the autocracy Trump promises and hurt by the loss of our fragile, challenging but beautiful democracy. America's dynamic creativity around what it means to be human and how to live together with the greatest good for the greatest number may disappear and we'll have lost the enormous challenge not only of creating a true democracy, but the challenge of true Christian love.
As an Asian American foreign born but raised in the states, I love America because the freedom we have, the nonjudgmental culture we embraced, and most Americans are angles by heart. May God bless America!
“Non-judgemental culture”…. Just wait until the lunatic Christian fundamentalists have their way. There’s no hate like Christian “love”….

We also have that class mindset in America where we just stay in the same place all our lives bc of what we were born with too. It’s just mainly in poorer rural areas I imagine. I’ve dealt with it growing up and that’s what my father sort of did. I know a lot of my friends also have that mindset too. The only time I realized I had I choice to change it was when I went to college then I realized I can do anything I want if I work hard enough. I’ve noticed it’s also like a tradition/peer pressure thing too, being in that mindset. Depends on who you’re around. And thank you for supporting us, brother! Freedom for all!

I'm a first generation American and I love, love, love, this country! I'm teaching my children to feel proud and grateful for being born here. My family thanks and honors our military and our service workers like police officers and firefighters when we cross paths. God bless America, in Jesus' mighty name.
It’s the citizens that make a country not the politicians. The citizens are who truly reflect the heart and soul of a country.❤
You are a finer American than many. Long live the Republic ‼️
Bring all freedom longing people that are like this man to America.
Yes bring in everyone!
Legally!
I'm 8th generation American, I'm proud, blessed, and love my America!!! God bless America!
Damn that's old school
America has a caste system too bro. It's incredibly difficult to escape poverty, hard work or not. That being said, I'd rather be a hard-working poor here than anywhere else on the planet.
Thank you for your message! We Americans do take our lives and liberties for granted and need to be more appreciative and in unison with each other! Welcome my brother, GOD BLESS AMERICA ❤🤍💙
I'm a naturalized US citizen and I love America. People who are born in the US take it too much for granted.
Not me. Granted, it's sadly true about some, but not true about all of us. Welcome to the family.
Agreed. Although as an immigrant, I noticed some of us try to change America into the countries that we came from. For both of these individuals, I wished they would just move out of America. 🇺🇸
Nope, based on voting people in the US are MORE than happy to give up their rights and freedom based on what they saw on the propaganda machine. There isn't much more to be taken for granted anymore, its mostly gone.
@@miav7160 Most immigrants do this and is the reason they are not welcome. Its not your race or religion, its the fact you don't want to be a part of us. The number one way you separate yourselves from us is voting for the left. This is not who we are at all with the exception of a few even though it may look otherwise. All you people come here and vote for socialism, again, this is why your not welcome.
I do not take our freedoms for granted - the two most important to me is to worship as I wish and to homeschool my children (29 years!). I also love that we can work where we want doing what we want. I have 24 grandchildren. So far, one is going to a private Christian school, two are going to public school, one to a preschool, thirteen are being homeschooled, and the rest are too young to be educated. All seven grown children are living out their faith, and the six with children are in church and raising their children in the faith. God bless America!
As a foreign born US citizen who’s lived my whole life in Britain this video makes me very proud to be American.
If only we had some native born citizens that were just as patriotic as our naturalized ones. I’m glad to have you as a fellow American. 🇺🇸
We are proud to have you bud
Right on. Thank you for spittin’ truth. I was one of those “grass is greener elsewhere” Americans and now I’m stuck somewhere that I can’t financially get out from because the opportunities to make the money needed to leave just simply don’t exist. But I have the will and so I WILL get back home with my family and NEVER take it for granted again. USA! USA! USA! Thank you for this video brotha.
As a natural born American I am so pleased every time I see a nationalized citizen that understands what it means to be American.
America belongs to The People. Thank you for your video. I got your back.
This Irishman agrees with this Englishman!
Well said sir!
Born and raised in Ireland, immigrated to the US in my mid twenties. Now in my eighteenth year living in the US.
I am not a very good Irishman, I don’t even drink! Lol
But I view myself as an American and am proud to be so. Yes, we are in a tough spot right now and we need to wake people up. Hopefully this November will start us back on the right track.
God bless you my friend, and God bless America! 🇺🇸❤️
You don't have to be irish and drink don't paint yourself with that brush like saying all Jamaicans drink rum or Russia loves vodka... silly ❤ maybe America is the place to be
@@Tommys_wobbly-life You're no Irishman
My Dubliner husband agrees. He loves this country. More than most Americans.
This 73 year old English lady totally agrees with him too. Well said, America is the land of opportunity. You can be whatever you want if you are prepared to work for it. So glad to see young men like you having the opportunity to make America home. Good luck in all you do. 🇱🇷

So many Americans take what we have for granted. It’s a darn shame. It’s the old saying “you don’t know what you have until you lose it”. Your words are a nice reminder. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
From this native born American these comments help my broken heart. I’ve been watching my country die little by little and feeling like bo one else is patriotic any longer. Then I find posts such as these here and yall prove me wrong. Thanks for uplifting my heart and soul and keeping my faith in the people in the country which I love dearly and would die for her. Ur comments have been a healing balm to my spirit! First and second bill of rights are paramount bc the rest doesn’t matter when u lose those!
You are so right. I am so glad you are an American.
Im happy to see a British come to America 🇺🇸
"The British are Coming, The British are Coming!".....GOD, LET'S HOPE SO!! LOL ;-) 2.5 Centuries Later, we are getting it Right! :)
But not from Mexico, Africa, Middle East etc….
@@stellamartin1145 You said it.
@@stellamartin1145That's correct. Anyone can see the difference in quality.
Need to exile some of our own but I guess that would be un American. Could we bribe them to give up their citizenship and move elsewhere?
I am a Brit married to an American, living in America and I can honestly say that the American constitution is the absolute best in the world. I am appalled at the state of my ex country (England) and the path they are going down. This young man is absolutely correct in his praise for this great country America. I am proud to live amongst you all and thank you for welcoming me to your great country.
Thank you for your kind words. There is hope for America and an even greater future here with fellow patriots like you. God bless.
@@alancroft6928 You don't think America is headed down that same path? I worry about it quite a bit, and from the perspective of an American who has never been to GB, our problems seem to have metastasized far beyond anything the UK has faced...and so quickly.
Lots of love to you.
We could be but we have the tools to correct it from the bottom up here, which is not the case in England.
Not to piss in your Cheerios, but have you actually read and understand the text and the context of the constitution? I only ask because most people never bother. They know about some of the bill of rights and that’s about it. They think anything the government does that is good is constitutional and anything bad is unconstitutional. The fact is most people’s ideal vision for government would bear no resemblance to the one described in the constitution, and they would soundly reject one that does. So they happily live in ignorance, deferring to courts to bend clearly written constitutional meaning in order to fit what they want into compliance. And then only poke their heads up from time to time to thump on the constitution when they don’t like something. After a long deep dive into constitutional meaning, context and history I’ve come to the same conclusion Lysander Spooner did way back in the 1870s, either the constitution has authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist. Sadly.
I am glad that things have worked out for you while you have been in this country, and I am absolutely not trying to discount your experience here. But at the same time, I do think it's important to be aware that that is not a universal experience. A lot of people truly do struggle here, we have a very large wealth inequality problem, education has gotten insanely expensive for people entering college, and I've seen people lose their homes from crushing medical debt, among others. There is absolutely a lot to be proud of this country for, and I am a very involved and patriotic US citizen! But I just think that its good to see all different perspectives, and understand where this country has failed on top of its successes, so we can improve to become a better society.
Well said Sir. Thank you for spreading this message. Congratulations on your citizenship brother.
🇺🇸💪
Thank you so much for your message! It is what America needs to hear from a naturalized citizen. I am an immigrant from Germany, having come here as a child with my family. We all became American citizens, and I can honestly say my father was the most patriotic person I've ever know. I, too, identify as an American. Still, I'm proud of my German heritage and the rich history of my family prior to coming to America. Yes, the American dream is accessible to all. After being here for only three years my mother, who didn't speak English upon arriving, completed an accounting course and found gainful employment. My father had a job waiting for him upon our immigration, which was the rule back then. My family worked hard and lived the American dream. They assimilated and were able and proud to give back to the country that took them in and offered them a new home. I wish you much success in your life.
Welkommen bruder! I am very sorry for our part in ww1 &ww2. We should not have been involved, at least in Europe.
Danke schön❣️
@CarlHungus-y1t huh?
Thank you defending the right to bear arms . So many people these days attack the 2nd amendment. America is one of the few countries in the world that has that . You love America more than some people who were born here . I wish you all the best .
Funny, but you don't hear of multiple mass shootings every week in Europe. How's that for freedom?
The constitution has been amended many times. It's time to bring in common sense gun laws. The founding fathers did not envision weapons of mass destruction. It's gone too far.

My Father came to the United States after serving in the British royal Navy. He was given the opportunity to come here and join the Air Force to go fight in Vietnam. I was a product of his first marriage. He was originally born and raised in Scotland.
We brought our daughter to America from Poland when she was 14. She's a huge patriot and when she was in school she had a "we the people" sticker on her tablet and other kids didn't know what it meant or why she had that sticker. Pitiful. She just now became an American citizen and we are all so happy!
It is all about parenting.
Congratulations!
WTP!
A lot of Americans don’t have Patriotism or love for their country especially in certain areas where they will be antagonized and called racist for it. It’s a damn shame too, since I used to be one of them.
We the people is a common thing n the USA, I hardly believe you. Are you Jewish? Your comment is a lie
As an American, this gives me tremendous hope in our very near future. Great message.

I’m American that has been to other countries. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Samoa and most of south America. I’ve been on this earth for 42 years. I can honestly say that in my 42 years I’ve watched this country lose its damn mind. Our constitution says “For the people, by the people”. But I think we’ve gone so far from that that it will take a miracle to get back to it. Given what happened over the weekend with the attempted assassination of Donald Trump and people being upset that he survived I’d say we have a LOT of work ahead of us.
I concur. And now we have Project 2025 looming in the wings. Think this country has lost its damn mind...Stay tuned, there's more😮
You missed the point.
Dude I'm not American and have never been in America but I feel more American than a lot of Americans.
Came here in 91 from the UK, been here now in the USA half of my life.
Kind of glad to have grown up in England and still have my family and fond memories I am so glad and grateful to be here.
I think a lot of Americans really don’t appreciate what we have here, I am just an average Joe Toolmaker/machinist but have managed to buy a house and make a decent living.

I am a born and raised American and I deeply love my country. I believe that there are more Americans who truly love our country, than those who hate our country and those of us who love Her. The Americans who hate our country are being televised more than the Patriots.

There is no "our" country. I don't know you, we aren't related, or descended from a common tribe. There is no we, and I have no desire to be united with your obsequiousness.

My family immigrated here from Wales in the 1700s. I think what you have said is beautiful and brought a tear to my eye. I found out my sur name means Son of Howell. According to Welsh folks I have spoken to there are still quite a few Powell families in the UK. Thank you for reminding me how wonderful America is.
Welcome home brother. We need you here.
You, my young man, are exactly the same as the other British men who stood on these shores. Spoke of these same issues. And founded a nation the world had never seen.
Thank you for joining us in the fight to save this great place.
Your sentence "And founded a nation the world had never seen" is a truth that is unknown or overlooked by many Americans.
We hear a lot about "American exceptionalism" today, especially from various politicians and pundits. Unfortunately some fail to understand what that term really means. It does not mean that America is better at what it does or in what it has than other countries. It means that America is unique because its government was founded upon principals of freedom and self-governance, an idea that had never prevailed anywhere else in the world at that time. The root word "exceptional" has two distinct meanings: "better than" or "unique". It is that second meaning that is at the heart of American exceptionalism, not the first. It refers to our form of government, not to our inherent worth. Thank you for raising that point.
I appreciate everything you have said.there is no other country I want to live. As a woman, America is not perfect but we Americans have the freedom and opportunity to work together to improve our country. I personally have no desire to become an expat.
The reason Americans don’t leave is because half of us can’t afford to move to the next town let alone another country.
Great video :)

I agree with everything you said. People who complain about America almost invariably do so due to a lack of perspective.
I have also noticed that people in the UK often have a pretty bizarre view of what life is like in America, presumably because they believe everything they see in the British media.
They have this crazy belief that the whole of America is like Detroit, and will sometimes even get angry with you if you try to tell them otherwise.
