Our enemies blast out self-serving propaganda. We publish our own obituary:

... And that's why we're the greatest country in the history of the world and why we will continue to be. We don't needlessly focus on the past. No parades of crappy 1950's technology featuring alcoholic goose stepping conscripts like in Russia. No Argentinian egos inflated with 100 year old hot air.
This is America! We look to the future and use the specter of failure to spur us to future greatness. That's why they hate us, and we should wear it like a badge of honor.
God Bless America!
