Just returned home from Paris and Nice, France. The time away was a good change of pace. Always fun to travel and to see new things, or even old things.
But-there is no place like home! And I am speaking comparatively. There is no other nation like ours in the entire world. There may be some that are a close facsmile, but we truly are unique as Americans and we should be proud of our distinctives.
Within a day of arriving in Paris I was again reminded of the problems with Europe. One glaring problem with Europe and specifically France is the entrenched socialism in that nation. If you want to ruin people's lives and rob them of every ounce of creativity and amibition then teach them not to be responsible for themselves. The economic problems in the United States right now have nothing to do with the American people. It was the result of government and political incompetence and corporate greed. We, unlike the Europeans will pull out of this because we believe in entrepreneurial striving and we will create again and build again. Let's just hope and pray that the Obama administration doesn't become too European. A strong belief in Republicanism, (I am not speaking of political affiliation here) whereby people take responsiblity to support themselves and govern themselves is the hope of America. Our nation was built on this principle which allows us so many freedoms. The most important freedom of course is to be godly instead of sinful. Pray for our homeland. God Bless America!
