God has indeed blessed America!
Our country was founded on freedom from an oppressive government. Here is a concise version of the Bill of Rights:
1. Freedom of religion.
2. The right to bear arms.
3. Being free of quartering soldiers.
4. The right to be free of unreasonable searches.
5. Legal rights including: a grand jury must indict a person prior to trial; protection from double jeopardy; protection from being a witness against one's self; private property shall not be taken for public use without due compensation.
6. The benefit of: a speedy trial, impartial jury, be informed of the accusation, being confronted with the witnesses against him, allowing witnesses gathered for the accused, and the right to have a defense counsel.
7. Right of trial by jury.
8. Excessive bail is prohibited. The restriction of cruel and unusual punishment.
9. Nothing written in the Constitution can be used to cancel amendments to it.
10. States' rights, if not delegated to the U.S.
Abundance of food
Abundance of food allows most people to specialize in jobs. For without this abundance, we have just a few choices:
* Be a hunter/gatherer
* Be a farmer
* Be a scavenger
* Starve
God has blessed us with fertile soil, rain, and other qualities needed to grow food for America.
Now Johnny can grow up to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, city-manager, park-ranger, botanist, professional athlete, etc.
Now Josie can grow up to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, nurse, pharmaceutical rep, architect, human-resource director, professional athlete, etc.
Free Education to students K-12
While this education is far from free---tax payers pay the bill---it is free to the student.
Great Quality Health Care
As the debate continues in Washington about health care, we are fortunate to have quality doctors, nurses, schools, and hospitals/faciliites.
Prayer
It is not against the law to pray anywhere! EVEN IN SCHOOLS! I see FB posts saying put prayer back in school, but it never left.
Police (and other branches of law enforcement) protection
Without it , we have CAOS.
Strong Military
Our military protects the U.S. and many regions of the world.
Clean Water
We turn on a faucet and water magically appears. This is certainly not so in much of today's world.
Entertainment
Sports, movies, computers (laptops, phones, PCs, etc), games, reading, conversation, exercise, etc.
Many, many, many other blessings
RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE DOMINION OVER THESE THINGS!
