Why do we care what the rest of the world thinks about us?
Why are we so willing to abandon the morals and principles that this country was established with, just to be accepted by a bunch of 3rd world countries?
Remember back to when we were kids.. what did your mom tell you about the other kids? Don't give into peer pressure, just to be liked. Everyone has heard the "if all your friends were jumping off a bridge" line.
If they don't like you for who you are, than they aren't worth having as friends.
It was sage advice on the playground, it is sage advice for international policy.
That's not to say we should go around bullying others, but we need to hold fast to our heritage, our principles, the things that made this country the greatest nation in the world.
Some would say I'm being imperialistic by saying that, but let's look at the facts. How many other nations have as big of an illegal immigration problem as the United States?
How many other countries donate even a fraction of a percent of the humanitarian aid as the United States?
The world is familiar with the term "American Dream", but when's the last time someone mentioned the 'Russian Dream' or even the 'British Dream'?
It's time to stop kowtowing to the poles in Europe and the rest of the world, and let us pick our own leadership. Why would someone in a foreign nation favor one candidate over another? It's because they are thinking in their own best interest, not in the best interest of those of the nation electing him.
We need to remember why we fought the Revolutionary War over 200 years ago.

I am not sure what prompted this essay, but I wish more Americans adhered to this philosophy
