Yakov Smirnoff has not only built a comedy routine around the phrase, "What a country," but has also become identified with that phrase. He was born in Odessa, Ukraine to a Jewish family. He immigrated to the United States in 1977 and became a citizen in 1986. He is a first generation immigrant, who has proven that success is still available for those willing to work. By the way, he also immigrated to this nation the right way. He respected and followed our laws on the way to securing American citizenship through the proper channels. What a strange idea to some who claim that we should open our borders and citizenship to any and all without conditions.
I am thinking about this today because my wife is on a plane with a group of her students heading for Washington DC. They will spend the next four days touring our nation's capital and learning about its founding principles. They will most certainly gain a greater appreciation for this great land and for the vision which its founders had. One key to a free and prosperous future is a clear memory of our historic past. Let us never forget the roots out of which this marvelous nation has grown and blessed the world.
God bless America . . . and may America be a blessing to God.
Which god is that then Johnny? There have been many. Most of them are now dead. There's only really Yahewah, Allah, Buddah and the chocolate box left alive. Which one is your saviour?
