someone please tell us all when america was not great and why ?

Oh there were lots of time. But before I list some, having lived in two other nations and traveled world-wide, the US is still the best of them all.

The early Americans, including our founding fathers, were slave owners.

The early Americans committed genocide on the indigenous Native Americans.

Robber barons, rich American capitalists, exploited and cheated American workers to make their fortunes. Child labor was rampant.

Greedy capitalists bought up stock at ten cents on the dollar and then could not pay up come strike date; that started the great depression of 1929.

American soldiers conducted a massacre of innocent Vietnamese citizens at My Lai.

Richard Nixon sacrificed tens of thousands Americans in Vietnam for a war that was by all standards illegal.

Bush Jr. launched an illegal war against Iraq under the trumped up fake intelligence of weapons of mass destruction.

My point...as great as the US is, it's not perfect. Which means you and I must be vigilant and ensure our governments remain transparent so that we can know what they're up to at the city, state, and Federal levels.

Friend do you know that in the last 20 years the United States has gone from being number one in freedom and in happiness to a pathetic number 13 on the chart? A little country by the name of Finland is rated as the most free and happy country in the world how pathetic that is!

1776 – 1865: Not great because African-Americans were enslaved and fueled our "free" economy.

1865 – present: Not great because 13th Amendment did not outlaw slavery, look up "slavery by another name"; African-Americans still don't have their piece of the pie.

Yes America has always been great, relative to the world wide average, but America was losing it over a couple of decades and it took President Trump to significantly reverse that trend and return America to a pathway toward Liberty for All.

America became a third world laughing stock under Obummer. We are respected once again with Trump as president.

Between 4.5 & 2.5 billion years ago there was a lot of movement among the continents.

It was awful under Obama. He was constantly defending Muslims

it was not so great during the Jim Crow era

The Obama years were not great, thanks to Barry and Moose.
