There's too much to list, I agree. However, many of the things listed aren't what they used to be. Clever slogans like "it's still the best country in the world" just don't hold water anymore. What I like most (miss) is the Bill of Rights and the Constitution taken literally. Not interpreted and revisioned by some bureaucrat or professor with an agenda.
EVERYTHING anyone can list, from Kentucky rifles to Microsoft came after that simple premise.
