Today I watched the movie "The American President." It's for a paper I'm writing in political science class. Watching the movie made me realize how blessed I am to live in this country. America is truly incredible. From the institutions of government, to the Constitution, to the Declaration of Independence. I am so blessed to be in a country where I can practice my religion freely, where I can exercise free speech, and where I can have an influence on government. Sure, the government isn't perfect, but it sure does it's job. I know that God helped in the formation of this nation so that His church could be restored on the earth. Our government is so amazing and I love studying it!
This is my favorite quote from the movie: "America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've got to want it bad because it's going to put up a fight. It's going to say, 'You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who's standing center stage advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.'" I just really like that quote (haha). :)
