Sarkozy Understands the Concept of American Exceptionalism

[red states rule]

The French President understands what makes America great - now if only the left in this country would

It is also shows how the left is full of it when they say the US is hated around the world

From his speech before Congress

SARKOZY (via translator): To the millions of men and women who came from every country of the world and who -- with their own hands, their intelligence, and their hearts -- built the greatest nation in the world, America did not say, "Come, and everything will be given to you." Rather, she said, "Come, and the only limits to what you will be able to achieve will be those of your own courage, your boldness, and your talent."

"The America that we love throughout the world impedes this extraordinary ability to grant each and every person a second chance, another chance, because, in America, failure is never the last word. There is always another chance. Here -- in your country, on this soil -- both the humblest and the most illustrious citizens alike know that nothing is owed to them and that everything has to be earned. That is what constitutes the moral value of America"


My. this must have struck a nerve with the Dems sitting in Congress!!!!!

Very sweet of him to say.

Too bad it's no longer true. (If it ever was to begin with.)

Oh it is very true. It is what makes America the greatest country on Earth

He was also telling his country what they have to do if they want to compete with us and be as wealthy as we are

Oh it is very true.

Ever been to prison for a few years? (For the record, I haven't, but I've got friends who have.)

Try it and see how much of "another chance" is left after that.

So who is at fault if you you go to prison? You screw up your life like that, you pay the price

Keep grasping at straws - it is rather funny to watch

And you go on trying to dodge the argument - it's even funnier to watch.

There is always another chance. You just have to find it.

That's debatable. It still doesn't change the fact that America is full of smart, good, hard-working people who never manage to earn very much (financially or non-financially).

Platitudes don't make the truth go away.

You have more than 'lines'? I'd be very interested to find in America, 'smart, good, hard working people that couldn't pound out a living in US, even now, at at cusp of a recession.

If you're genuinely interested, I highly recommend reading the book "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Making It in America" By Barbara Ehrenreich. It was published in 2001, but it's not at all dated.
