Are you proud of your country?
Authors note: I wrote this story to express that I am proud of my country and to inform my readers that we live in the best country ever, and the things that I don’t like about the country.
I am somewhat proud of my country and somewhat not proud of my country I am proud of my country because we are a well developed country that is a free country and isn't communist. Also we have many things that other countries don’t have like freedom of choice, speech, etc. and just freedom. We have a very strong military that has won almost all wars we have been in. Also the country has been through many rough times but we always manage to pull through and maintain stability, also in our history we rose up to fight for freedom against England and we won even though the odds were stacked up against us we still beat England to declare our independence and be free.
Like I am not proud is that they can't handle their money and we are going to be forever in debt because everyone is greedy, also we can be to helpful when it comes to sending relief funds to other countries I like that the government does that but they can go overboard a lot of the times it seems like whenever there is a natural disaster we have to send 10’s of millions of dollars to that country. That doesn’t solve the debt problem it only digs the hole deeper.

The Vikings
The Vikings
In the sports world there are many teams and many different sports but football is the best sport on earth. In the NFL there are 32 teams, 2 conferences the NFC and AFC there are four divisions in each conference, and in the NFC north lies the best team ever, the Minnesota Vikings.
The only thing people can say about them is they have never won the super bowl, but they have been there four times and Dan Marino never won the big game but he is one of the best QB’s ever. They have had a countless number of elite stars on the team and several Hall Of Famers including a future hall of famer Adrian Peterson. Granted the team isn’t doing to good this year at 1-4 but they’re having a human year when not everything goes there way. People say that the Vikings are washed up and have never been good those are people I like to call wrong from 1970-2000 they were the dominate team in the NFC north with 14 division championships, and 21 playoff appearances.
The Vikings today have a lot of people that are all stars like Running Back Adrian Peterson, WR Percy Harvin, Defensive End Jarred Allen, and right out Linebacker Chad Greenway. Along with a young head coach Leslie Frazier. They have also been dominant in the 2000’s with a winning percent of over .660. Back to the coaches they have had a history of coaches with very good winning percents. Like Brad Childress his record was 36-25. More coaches are Dennis Green, Norm Van Brocklin, Leslie Frazier, and long time great Bud Grant. Lastly is there high tech stadium The Metro-dome built in 1982 it holds roughly around 67,000 people. It has been the home to the Vikings for 29 years as well as the Minnesota Twins (Baseball) up until 2009.
That is why the Minnesota Vikings are the best football team ever. They have always dominated throughout the years as a team even when they were in the AFL, even though they have never won the big game (super bowl) they can say they’ve been there four times.
