US Enemies Come Together For Common Cause

It is interesting to watch the world redefine alliances. Alliances have always been determined by common interests or enemies. Sometimes allainces become rather strange. For example, the extremists muslims, the UN, democrats, and Europe all see US power as a danger to the world. Not because it is, but because US military and economic strength prevent each group from accomplishing its individual goal. Muslim fanatics hate the US because of its culture and influence over previously "pure" parts of the world. The US promotes equal rights for women, free speech and other individual rights that fly in the face of the extremists' interpretation of the Koran. The UN, Europe and democrats all want socialism to become the norm world-wide. Capitalist successes, individualism and conservative values fly in the face of the socialist dream. The US represents these things as well. So all of the anti-US forces are now in an incontrovertable alliance of necessity. Each group in its own way is trying to influence the election. Europe through rantings and its press, the UN through leaks of documents to make the current US administration look bad, terrorists through intimidation and democrats through a different kind of fear mongering. All want the US to change presidents, but only one has a legitimate right to the process.
The most troubling of all is that all of these entities see Americanism, or individualism as a bad thing. Entrepeneurship, the strength of the individual, and self-reliance are good things. This is what makes America great. We have always been chastised for what we are. Now though chastisement is no longer seen as enough. Fortunately, the American spirit is alive and well. After all is said and done, and no matter who wins the election, it will be stronger because it is being challenged. And none of the groups aligned against that spirit can stop it.
