American Pride!

Once again American exceptionalism is leading the way as an example to the world. Critics are quick to call us capitalist pigs, or pontificate in a world forum how they; "smell sulphur.", but when it's time to roll up the sleeves and get to work, the cream rises to the top. America has taken the lead to ease the pain generated by the disaster in Haiti, no other nation has offered near the commitment we have. So once again the old adage about when you point a finger at others, there are 3 pointing back at you comes to mind.

I find it amazing Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolee have privately donated more to this disaster than India and China. America, without a doubt, will privately raise more funds to assist in disaster relief, than all the other countries combined. The hot air factory, Hugo Chavez, leader of the oil rich nation of Venezuela, has managed to scrape together one plane full of disaster supplies. World power Russia sent one mobile hospital and twenty doctors to the scene. When it comes to being a world power, actions speak louder than words.

It makes me proud to be American, and at the same time disgusted that we even entertain criticism of other nations. Our quick actions in Haiti and financial commitment are a great example of putting our money where our mouth is, and cause for the world community to learn from our example. That's the kind of commitment and responsible action worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. So on behalf of the Peace Prize committee I'd like to nominate the citizens and the leadership of The United States of America for the next peace prize offering! America's actions, in a time of need, portray to the rest of the world what it means to be a leader. We bear responsibility to our fellow man, not as handouts, but as a hand up out of disaster. Unselfish commitment and giving speaks volumes about the American ideals.

It's time we retook our position as World Leader! End the bowing and apologizing, show some posture and pride for all the good we do, without hesitation, or agenda. We answer our critics with action...Action unmatched by any other nation, or group of nations. We are the most powerful, and the greatest nation on earth. We lead by example!

God Bless America, and all it's citizens!
