its well know, nothing brings people together like a common enemy
then why is it we get atomic weapons but no one else does?
The cold war. Also that was after world war II, so it doesn't apply to your argument that up until world war II america was a total bully to every other nation on earth.
why is it that we are trying our hardest to "own" the internet.
Our country did see the first achievements that might be called the internet, so it is technically ours (that's just one way to think of it). But even then the internet wasn't created until at least the sixties. So this doesn't apply to your argument either.
Those don't apply directly to the second ww true. but they are prime examples of our "we are the boss, and better than everyone" attitude. As far as being the most powerful country in the world... Maybe from a military stand point, but from an economic standpoint, even places like china are whiping the floor with us. The USD is inflating at an astronomical rate. The federal reserve is handing out money to banks, at almost no cost to the banks, without regard as to whether that bank will loan it out and ever get it back. and of course the bank is guaranteed safety. And each time this happens the cash in your wallet is worth less and less.
EDIT: adding to that the fact that our nation imports everything and exports nothing now a days, plus the fact that the average high school graduate is dumber than a box of rocks and studders through a simple reading test.... its not going to get better with this next generation. If kids are indeed our future, i dont want to be around america to see whats in store for them.
As far as judeo-christian beliefs being the foundation of america.... no. back then many people were dumb enough to believe the god had rights in government. We've grown up (or at least should have by now) and even the founding fathers had the foresight to create a constitution for rules to be tested against... how about we actually use it instead of succumbing to greedy lobbyists, self-interested politicians, and millions of uneducated voters that vote for the candidate that claims to match their political views instead of one that is looking to make us laws follow the constitution instead.
