AMERICA IS GREAT BECAUSE IT IS GOOD

(Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)

Mr. MURPHY of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, President Biden and his fellow Democrats have said that they want to fundamentally change this country.

If this country is so bad, why do we lead the world in technological advances?

If this country is so bad, why have millions of immigrants risked life and limb to get into this country?

If this country is so bad, why are we the international example of religious tolerance?

If this country is so bad, why is the dollar the standard currency throughout the world?

If this country is so bad, why do we lead the world in aiding the impoverished countries around the globe?

If this country is so bad, how could American scientists have developed a vaccine in record time that has saved millions of lives around the globe?

If this country is so bad, how could someone like Dr. Ben Carson overcome the most insurmountable of odds to become one of the great neurosurgeons in the world?

If this country is so bad, how is it possible that Americans of every background can uniquely succeed here if they are determined to do so?

If this country is so bad, why do so many think it is so good?

If this country is so good, why are so many Democrats so hellbent on tearing it apart?
