We're #1 in saying that we're #1, that's for sure.

Complainers.

We're number one in thinking we're better than everyone else, and that we should impose our massively flawed 2-party democracy on everyone else, even if that means we have to kill them.

Not a democracy. A republic.

Healthcare, education, national defense are all wonderful illustrations of what crony capitalism can bring to the table.

What's that (hehe). Long time I heard that word mentioned by the talking heads.

We're #1 in telling ourselves that we are #1.

That kind of delusional thinking isn't productive, but it wins elections.

I don't think any country makes as much money on exporting their celebrity and entertainment to the world. Hollywood TV and FIlms are definitely #1 in the world. Even when someone from another country has talent they move to CA to reach mainstream America audiences.
