A secular America where people are free to believe what ever spirituality they like and co-exist, instead of be forced to be told the nation is a Judeo-Christian nation. Where you can marry who you love, have meaningful museums and landmarks. Not be told how to pray to The Lord and that a church should teach only what you call spirituality, as if there's only one church.

An America that is strong in the global economic game by inventing new technology, being leader in key products and services and then exporting these services abroad, in exchange for receiving foreign goods and services consumers love and enjoy. And educating the public.
Instead of giving money back to wealthy millionaires and cutting the education budget so we just sell ourselves out of every industry and borrow everything from China and then police the world by sending troops everywhere, when we can't even distinguish Czech Republic from Chechnya on a map.

An America that doesn't make a laughing matter out of sea level rising and global temperature increases from greenhouse gas emissions. Not brush it off and continue to pollute our clean air.

An America where poor and lower middle class people have a chance at success, not just a gimmick where big powerful businesses are just Gods and the rest are to thank God those Gods are so generous to give everybody retail jobs because the CEO of mcDonalds is just so altruistic right

An America that values healthcare for people

An America that wants to bridge the gap between the haves and have nots so every child can aspire to be a prominent individual with a prominent voice, not just the Gods of Bill O'Reilley and Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin

An America where everyone can walk hand in hand in the sunshine and smile, not fear that this pursuit of happiness is perceived by some short-tempered guy as threatening and that guy can start shooting because he's simply "standing his ground."

An America where 45% of my paycheck isn't stolen from me simply because I have money left over after I pay my bills.

I am not her greatest fan, by far, but, you should give Ayn Rand a read or two.
Then pick up 1984.

BTW...your last paragraph was hilarious

Judeo Christianity is more than one religion.

Libspeak for wanting state run industries.

Global warming stopped 17 years ago. Much ado about nothing.

Everybody has a chance for success. That person has to avail themselves of those chances and not have them handed to them.

Healthcare is available to everyone. Stupid argument.

Libspeak for wealth redistribution. More socialism.

A voice wreathed in terror over the freedoms you seek.

How about having an America where people earn their OWN living, instead of relying on someone else?

Oh Snap, THAT'S an America that LeftWing Liberals don't seem to like.

If the last 6 years are any proof of what you say, your views and future of your ideology is filled with epic failures yet to come..enjoy you and your kind of earned this,

Taxes are not theft. If you're not an anarchist you'd understand that

I understand what taxes are, now if it was a 100% tax as in they take every penny you will ever make, is that thief?

By the why the meme of anyone who oppose Statism is a anarchist is getting old, but hey Stay Classy!
