No Apologies

Our country does not need to be sorry for being successful. We, as citizens, do not need to be made to feel as though we are wrong for striving to be better people. I think with the responsibility of becoming better people, we are to help our fellow citizens when in times of need. I feel as though this responsibility has been lifted from the churches of our nation and has been shifted to the government. I am not sure if was just easier for people this way, or if people became tired of others expecting them to give instead of appreciating what was given. Our nation also does not need to apologize for being a superior military strength. We need to guard what we hold dear, our freedom. If at any time our freedom is threatened, we need to strike swiftly and deliberately the ones who have threatened us. I realize that we are not the only nation in the world, and we must get along with other people who have different cultures than we do. However, when these nations attempt to chip away at America, we need to flex muscle. Our nation does not need to apologize for being a capitalistic society. I could have chosen to be anything I wanted to be. Everyone in America that is mentally capable can choose the career they wish to pursue. We are not promised wealth, although that is what the current administration would have us to believe; we are only promised the pursuit of said wealth. I could have been an attorney, a wall street banker, and had I not stopped my dream, a musician. I did not choose my physical disability that has hampered me from time to time, but I am where I am. Fortunately for me, I am in America. America does not need to apologize for its medical system pre-Obamacare. If socialistic medicine is so great, and Hugo Chavez was such a great leader, then why was he not able to get the medical attention he needed in his own country. We do not need to apologize for thinking and doing and working hard. We need to apologize for apologizing for being successful. The pie is there and is sliced into pieces, eat what you want.
