Ya got me. Here, for the folks that do not understand the English language well enough to add the missing e in ideology, is the corrected post.
"I do understand History and the United States has passed (more emphatically concluded) the far right Republican ideology as unworkable in the current era." GregW
We've seen with great pride, the admiration with which even the royal family look at the Obama's, they look "grand" in this trip to London, when our president talks, everyone listens, not since the Kennedy's have we had such an impressive president and first lady, this is a breath of fresh air, mostly after having the bush's for 8 years, they looked like "hillbillies".
Now we have Michelle Obama, by far our most elegant first lady ever. We should all rejoice, now I feel really proud of being an american.
Because Michelle has a stylist dressing her like Jackie, this is the FIRST time you are proud to be an American? You weren't proud of the fire fighters who ran UP the stair in the WTC as the building was burning? You aren't proud of the Military Men and Women who are fighting for freedom every day? The ones who have given their life for our freedom? You aren't proud of Regan getting the wall torn down? Nothing makes you proud except Michelle Obama and her stylist? God help us if there are more people like you!
My unquestioned pride in American started sliding when I realized the VP of SVN had fought for the colonial French. I was in the Mekong Delta at the time. I was shocked that I had believed our propaganda and was supporting the wrong side. In the last 40+ years I have become used to supporting the wrong side. We always back the privileged against the poor. Then we wonder why we lose so often.

Every time we back a tyrant over a populist leader. Every time we support a despotic kingdom over a democratic Republic. Just about every time we have gone to war since WW2.

I agree with you Greg but we have done an awful lot of good in the world as well.
There is an interesting film called Osama and it is about a girl growing up under Taliban rule. It was a horrendous existence that the US is trying to remedy.
Tens of thousands of ethnic Muslims were killed in Bosnia before the US put a stop to it.
We have spared South Korea despotic rule under the communists on the Korean Peninsula for the past 60 years.
We also stopped Stalin from absorbing more of Europe post WW2.
