It was good until he started doing a whiny delusional liberal apologia at the end about how "America once was."

The inclusion of belief in angels as one of America's faults shows that the clip is three minutes of emotional smorgasbord and cheap moral preening.

His litany of faults are also very manipulative. The U.S. Infant mortality rate is calculated differently than in European countries. Some European countries count a three day old baby's death as not a live birth. So we are comparing apples and oranges.

The entire subject is silly. The U.S. Is better than what? Better than some things, not as good as others. Even if better, to what difference? A person can't just step into a vortex and be magically transported to the U.S. Or vice versa without leaving family, friends and memories behind while starting as a near non-entity separated from all previous known identity factors and start anew.
