Why the U.S. is so excoriated around the world

Although America is ubiquitous in its world support we are upbraided relentlessly by countries the globe over.
This may well raise a question in the minds of right thinking individuals. Okay, here is the upshot of this excoriation. They say we are a large producer of pollution even though we spend more on cleaning up our industrial waste that anyone in the world, bar none. To those critics of our industrialization I say; we can easily curtail our pollution and thereby actually clean the atmosphere, of course that would do nothing to address the biggest polluters on the planet now, China, India, and per capita a multitude of other semi-third world or developing countries.
However the actions taken would cause another condemnation of the U.S. Here goes, as we support with financial aid, 150 countries around the world, with 38.7 Billions of our dollars it apparently is not enough for some. Want to know what is troubling about that? There are only around 200 countries, hello! Why is anyone bitch’n about our aid? Oh wait, I get it, they want more, let me see, wouldn’t that cause more pollution? The answer would be yes. The most exasperating part of the whole thing is that the same who complain about the one are also the same who complain about the other, what a dilemma. Okay so if we cut back on aid and become more separate we could solve the pollution problem. Oh, oh, do I see a paradox coming? Why I believe I do. We Spend 38.7 Billion on foreign aid, but we pollute, yet we can get a handle on the pollution by cutting aid, if we do we are condemned for not caring, and becoming separatists. In this modern world separatism would never work. We need to temper and balance all factors before we act. So as I see it what we have is a catch 22. Lest we forget, the top of the heap or the king of the hill is always the one everybody tries to put down. No one would ever admit it, but jealousy plays a big roll in all this. Oh yeah, why else would so many keep criticizing someone who is doing a yeoman’s job? Of course this only takes into account the monetary aspect. Add to that the military, oh yeah, that money is figured into our military budget. Again here we have just the dollars, none of this takes into account the prices we pay that are more dearly paid for with human life. I bet you think that is the end? Not hardly, now take into account all the private aid we as a country give and it boggles the mind to think that anyone, anywhere could possibly fault us for what we do. One more sad testimony to all this is that, you always expect to hear dissension from some ranks, what is disturbing is that some of the loudest voices come from our own countrymen. (Enter first amendment and people like Michael Moore and Jane Fonda) I just wish when they were bashing the U.S. they would remember some of the good we do worldwide and temper their rhetoric accordingly. Some of those type get so bitter with their vitriol you would think they actually hate this country.

If you think all this is confusing, take heart. The world leaders in their infinite wisdom can’t even figure out how many countries there actually are. The numbers run from 168 to 211 (United Nations has 192)

Make up is changing in America.

Make up is changing in America.
We have always been a country of immigrants, which is what we are and how we formed, that is not the problem we face these days. What is happening is we have increasingly more and more closed groups of foreign nationals coming here and only wanting to be here for what they can get out of it for themselves with no regard towards supporting the country. They only pay for things when they are caught or are forced to do so.
There is very little assimilation among these people, El Salvadorans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and a slew of other Hispanic and many other ethnic peoples.
In a recent survey, when asked about what country they care about most, they said, their native land. They are only here to make money and don't really give a hoot about this country. They want to stay true to their native land, make money and send it home or live here in their own closed community.
These people do not realize that by doing so they are engaging in a very dangerous practice. They don't get it that eventually when they become the majority, which is quickly becoming the case, there will be no more America, as they know it, or as we know it. The core of the U.S. will cease. A country can only go so long with a minority running things and paying for things. The basic tenant of the tower of Babel would present it self all too soon. That is there would be too many diversified cultures that cannot communicate with each other and therefore cannot interact, which eventually leads to confusion separatism and will take away the ability to continue and flourish as a society. There would be devolution in that the ability to act in a synergistic way between the different groups would simply no longer exist, by way of bewilderment due to dissimilation. In essence society would return to a time when tribes ruled and intercommunication was so rare that it quite often brought about dispute by its mere nature. The whole idea of immigration is assimilation so that we can keep the country going, growing and prosperous. Let's face it when you keep pouring wine out of a glass and never refill it, eventually that glass empties. That is where we are headed in this country and the politicians really need to get a handle on this stuff before it is too late. Where are the officials that will right the Good Ship America?
