Nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, when the United States first materialized upon the periphery of the British Empire, it was nothing more than a collection of underpopulated colonies straddling the Atlantic Coast of the vast North American continent. But in less than one hundred years, it had come to dominate the preponderant bulk of that vast continent. And in less than one hundred years after that, upon the conclusion of the Second World War, it had come to dominate the entire Western Hemisphere, control the entire Pacific Ocean up to and including the Japanese archipelago and the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, and occupy the entire western half of Europe. This growth, this expansion, this conquest - and not, as the liberal pundits are fond of espousing, ideals of diversity or Democracy - is what was primarily responsible for bestowing the United States with its vast amounts of wealth and power.
The United States, until recently, has never been a peaceful, inward-facing nation. The United States acquired its size, wealth, and power via Militant conquest and war. This is not something, as the liberal weaklings would have us believe, to be ashamed of. Americans have always been strong, rugged, angry, hostile, Militant people. This is what made America great. Conversely, the recent trends of weakness, tolerance, apathy, pacifism, universalism, "understanding," acceptance, and femininity have resulted in an accelerated erosion of America's wealth and power.
