There’s a very big difference between having problems and being essentially flawed and we don’t want America changed and let me tell you something as a student of history, you only want bad societies changed. You only want bad people changed.. I would like murderers changed, but I trust that by and large you’d like your husband or your wife, if you get a long well and love and admire him or her, NOT TO CHANGE. You’d like them to listen more often, or even more amazingly remember what you said [laughter].
It’s a dangerous word.
I plead guilty to “conservatives fear change”. That is absolutely correct. You tell me where a good society has changed and become…gooder. No, they don’t. When societies change they’re either good to bad or bad to good.
I don’t want change. I want improvement. That’s a very big
difference.
That is what this is all about and the eddifice of untruths that has built, the latest of course that Sarah Palin is unworthy to be Vice-President of the United States. So let me tell you and let me go on record as saying. I would rather have Sarah Palin, if there is a crisis on this planet, challenging the United States of America. I would rather have her as President than any Democrat in office as President of the United States. Because she is stable, because she is knows her values, because she ha a back with a rod steel, and because she wants America to do what is right, not necessarily to be loved.
The great flaw of liberalism is they want to be loved.
Let me tell you a human thing of hopefully some wisdom. You should be aimed to be loved by only two people: your spouse and your friends. That’s it. You should not aim to be loved by other countries. You should aim to bel loved by your own children. You will be a much inferior parent if your primary aim is to be loved by your children. This is lost on the left. The left want America loved. You know who’s loved? Sweden is loved. But Sweden does nothing on the world scene. Sweden was neutral between Hitler and the West and is nuetral between communism and the west. But Sweden is loved. I don’t want to be Sweden!
Also Hotair’s Ed Morrissey on the need to be loved:
If you believe that America’s primary mission in the world is to be loved, then that leads to the following foreign-policy choices:
- Redistribute American wealth to other countries on a massive scale without preconditions
- Withdraw our military presence from the world, including our defense of global trading routes
- End support for Israel
Focusing on the need for “love” is a significant change, and definitely not an improvement. America has, with all its flaws, served as a gadfly to tyrants and a beacon of hope to the oppressed. Without a doubt, we can improve. I hope we never change.
