Our strong independent creative spirit. No, for with the global economy and all the G8 and G20 meetings, we are less and less independent and less and less creative.

I would say the freedoms we are offered. And for the most part we are still that country.

What made the US a great country was production. We used to be the envy of the world with railroads, steel mills, the car industry, and manufacturing of all kinds. Nowadays, our economy is not based on savings and production....it is based on borrowing and consumption. We are really good at spending money on worthless shit, ....and that's about it. We are still a leader in computer based technology, but that is quickly getting outsourced to India, Singapore and Japan. We have all the technology to be relevant in today's economic condition, but we remain tied to old and dying ways of doing things. To the rest of the world, we are a diminishing dot in the rear view window.

Great Leaders made us great but we aren't great anymore. We haven't been great for a long time. Our freedom is what was so great about us but it is being taken away from us bit by bit.

Freedom, melting pot, Choices, innovation. Despite the Republicans best attempts to the contrary- yes.

The Spirit of the Constitution and the Spirit of the Men who created it were awesome. We are trying to be that country but we have a lot of Republican haters trying to put a damper on the whole core of the thing.
