the Portuguese were probably here in the late 1100's

this is the first I've ever heard of this. What are you talking about?

I also heard that the Chinese may have sailed to the west coast much earlier than the 1400s and just didn't thrive (all died fast) but there doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence for that.

Correct. But after the Civil War, there was a brief moment where we may have been able to dismantle some of the hatred. That failed though, because we are built on an Indian burial ground.

America became great by accident after Europe poo poo the bed and we've just been kind of coasting on that momentum ever since. That's why we're so bad at being great, too - we didn't really win it ourselves, everyone else just self-owned real hard and we got lucky in the aftermath.

If you only lived in Denver and never ventured outside of it you would think America was pretty cool. But you didn't. You just HAD to check out Tennessee and now the genie is never going back in the bottle.

I mean, he starts with good points, but the second he goes into Boomerspeak ‘Back in the day……’ horseshit, he should instead jump dickfirst into a boiling cauldron. This country, like all countries, was always hosed.

America was great when Nancy Reagan was out there sucking all the dicks. Back then, you could afford a house and car for your family on a single salary because ol’ Nance was out there gulping goo and keeping inflation at bay. But then her dumbfuck husband just had to be President and royally hosed everything up forever, just because he didn’t think it was right for a First Lady to be dishing out dome the way she was, but that was the only thing keeping the capitalists in check.
