Be careful, in the eyes of Sean Hannity if you don't think the USA is the greatest nation ever you are anti-American and work for Al-quida.

Absolutely. The land of opportunity and freedom.

You can go to Britain and get that. You can go to Australia and get that. You can go to Canada and get that.

True...but America isn't the strongest economy on the face of the Earth for no reason. Granted, our country is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, but I feel one of the reasons why America is the land of opportunity is that anyone with a dream or idea can turn that idea into reality. There are no barriers to success. The entrepreneurial spirit that is present in this country is like no other. Our freedoms are guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and a Constitution that has been a model of liberty for the whole world.

Akno, what is your favorite country? (if it isn't the USA)

The USA is my FAVORITE country, yes, but I am not convinced it is the greatest country. We have many poor people, many people without health care, if you compare our schools to Japans or many other countries, look out.

Hughento,

Canada used to be number two, but that country has really, really changed over the past 10-15 years...and not for the better.

You mean it's gotten more liberal?

The USA has about 10,000 gun murders per year. Other first world nations, (UK, France, Australia, etc.) have about 200, on average.
