Wacky Wednesday--American Supremacy Is Bad

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~In America, we believe in checks and balances and separation of powers, right?
~Power always makes you believe a bit too much in your cause.
~People envy us and resent us, which compromises our Christian witness.
~Hasn’t America propped up third world dictators because it suited our economic or political purposes?
~Monopolies are bad in business but good in politics? Well, it may be good to be the monopolist.
~Look at how much of our budget gets wasted on military because we are the biggest ones on the block.
~Is our nation truly a healthy one to whom you would entrust the sort of global dominance power we wield?
~If America were less, others would be forced to be more to make up the difference.
