Either way, the Bible mentions nothing about Americans being God's chosen people!

Quote:
I sometimes hear right-wing wacko preachers on radio or TV denigrating Canada and Europe as "socialist" and somehow inferior to America with its God-given "rights".
America is the "land of milk and honey" that was promised to Abraham and his descendants, Gary.

What makes you think that?

In any case, most countries have freedom of religion, of speech, etc, and they didn't all have to slaughter an indigenous race to get it?
When God gives a blessing to a nation, it's not up to us how He does it.
Ask the North American Indian nations if they thought European invaders were a "blessing"!

And why claim a monopoly on God-inspired Constitutions??

It could be taken as offensive to other nations. And it also creates a xenophobic closed-minded, unworldliness that has got America into a lot of bad situations.
