Some people in the world wish to blame Americans for their plight, but I say to you, do not blame me for being born in America. Do not blame me for being born into the greatest nation that has ever been created in all the recorded history of mankind. Yes, I am an American. And the United States of America is by far the greatest concept in government in all of the human endeavor. Do not blame me for the luck of my birth. I was born in America and I truly feel fortunate, but do not blame me for your plight.
Our ancestors in America did not have an easy go of it in the beginning. Many Americans died in route to this great land. Many gave up everything just to be part of an experiment that no one was sure would work, but they banned together to make it so and sacrifice dearly for it. Those are my ancestors and I am proud of them and duly accept the challenge of furthering the best efforts of mankind in this greatest nation of all periods; past, present and future.
Do not blame me for being born an American. Do not blame me for being born into abundance and into the land of liberty, freedom and democracy. It is a great honor to be an American, and our great nation is here to help those peoples who wish to learn and grow using the methods we have come to learn the hard way. We offer advice, monies and knowledge to those who are willing to go to distance and help themselves. Name one other nation in all of human history that would do that for you, even after you have slandered our name, culture and gifts.
Dear nations and peoples of the world; do not blame me for being born into America. If you want what I have, you could have it, if and only if you will stop complaining and earn it. I will show you how if you will listen and I forgive you for your slanderous remarks against everything that I stand for, but don't blame me for being born into the greatest nation in the world.
