As we say here at AntiNIKE SHOX.com, the best way to spread the best parts of the American way – the

rights of the individual, free markets, self-government and so forth – is by example. That when we

export our way with force, we lose our own liberty and, by killing people overseas and setting a bad

example for those who would like to emulate us, we make matters worse for the average foreigner.

As John Quincy Adams put it in 1821:

“[America] has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama the

European world, will be contests of inveterate power, and emerging right. Wherever the standard of

freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her

prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

“She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator

only of her own. She will commend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant

sympathy of her example.

“She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of

foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the NIKE SHOXs

of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp

the standard of freedom.
