The United States has done more than any other nation in history to bring freedom and safety to billions of people across the world. We don't need a permission slip from the UN, the Red Cross, or corrupt French politicians to defend ourselves when we come under attack.

I think you may be under some illusion here.
The US brought freedom to the billions across the world only when it began to effect themselves. World War II was an excellent example. Did the mass killings in Europe and the UK standing alone as the whole of Europe had fell to Hitler bring the US into the war?
No.
It took the destruction of a large part of the Pacific Naval Fleet.
Again and again the US only helps others when it can kill two birds with one stone and also help its own objectives.
To be fair this is true of most countries but please don't be fooled that the US is this magnificent country that helps the world out without doing something for itself.
