Partical Speech Given by John McCain on Nationalism in This Country, My comments Followed

We are blessed, and we have been a blessing to humanity in turn. The international order we helped build from the ashes of world war, and that we defend to this day, has liberated more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. This wondrous land has shared its treasures and ideals and shed the blood of its finest patriots to help make another, better world. And as we did so, we made our own civilization more just, freer, more accomplished and prosperous than the America that existed when I watched my father go off to war on December 7, 1941.

To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain ‘the last best hope of earth’ for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.

We live in a land made of ideals, not blood and soil. We are the custodians of those ideals at home, and their champion abroad. We have done great good in the world. That leadership has had its costs, but we have become incomparably powerful and wealthy as we did. We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don’t. We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldn’t deserve to. John McCain.

The USA has given so much freedom to the world, created democracies in creating the same rights or mirrored image of and modified to another countries standard to fit their cultures according to the majority of the people and not some oligarchical mob like dictatorship and censorship, even in religions that want to take us back into the dark ages and away from improving our world with the Internet and free information flow, free markets without conflict and wars, freedom to say as you please, freedom of thought, expression, multiculturalism mixing and diversity, being free spirited and universal towards humanity. 

McCain is right in this speech, with globalization we are freeing so many from poverty and creating opportunities even for those in poverty now but the freedom to have access to education, to be independent in mind, for every female and male to experience life to their fullest without being stifled by dogmatic religions, dogmatic control freaks, nationalistic hatred toward different people and different ways. Gary Finneyfrock.

Thank you John McCain for your service and contribution to the freedoms of this world. This is one of the best speeches you have ever given.
