Varney: US isn't perfect, but no reason to condemn it

In the media and the salons of the swamp, “self-flagellation” seems to have become an American characteristic, FOX Business’ Stuart Varney argued in his latest “My Take.”

“Sure, America isn’t perfect, but just because everything isn’t absolutely wonderful for everyone, there’s no reason to condemn, constantly, the whole enchilada,” Varney said.

Varney has had the advantage of speaking English, of being educated — on someone else’s dime — and of coming from a country with a long-standing alliance with the United States, he argued.

“I have felt the warm embrace of this generous and welcoming country. For 10 years we have, as they say, accentuated the positive and we are at the point where there’s a lot to celebrate. Prosperity has returned, our freedoms are still with us and you, our viewers, have stayed with us. Thank you, everyone. I am very grateful,” Varney concluded.
