The Myth of America-Introduction
The Myth of America.
Introduction.
I have been privileged to have come across a number of learned authors who on visiting USA have attempted to understand and write about what they have discovered. All these intellectuals and learned writers have found things which they didn’t like or which didn’t in the context of Non America-Anti America- Didn’t make sense or they didn’t like. Hence out of almost a frustration they have been forced to come up with what has upset them and made them –Anti American. Or as President Bush famously put it speaking about a 9/11 event; ‘It is because the hate our freedom’ And simply because we do not hate US freedom- in fact see things which are disturbingly not free- or which we do not wish to emulate- writers over the centuries have written. And there is a remarkable relevance in these observations from things which were said say by Charles Dickens over 150 years ago or the third post from half a century ago- Patrick O’Donovan –an Oxford Scholar writing the first chapter in the Time Life World Library 1965 ‘The Practical Idealists’ Thus therefore because what these learned ‘Prophets’ are saying of USA in a sense now forms a judgment as to why the True God has rejected USA and she will as many prophets have seen her cities burning and her non Native American migrant peoples dying in large numbers and some being taken into slavery and captivity- because such a negative Doom and Gloom point of view is just so serious- And Totally Biblical- Well we need to see what those without that conclusion as to what would happen- what those innocent of the consequences of what they were recording as prophets, intellectuals and journalists- Can we see some deep logic ? What has honestly got me started on this was an article in the New Zealand Herald Business Section about what we as the nation of New Zealand are up against from the current Democratic White House endangering our own intellectual freedom and our own culture. A situation- well let me conclude this introduction with a few lines from the article which should explain our frustration with the current US President and the conduct of his government with in this case the US Film Industry:
