A Love Letter to America
The latest book by Pierre A. Kandorfer reveals an open secret of our life. The secret of the American spirit. It is titled “A Love Letter to America” and is written by somebody who loved the American Dream when he was still in a High School in Europe decades ago. In my vision of the American Dream, America is the only place where a poor, helpless “nobody” had a chance to live a decent life or even to become a millionaire. America appeared to us Europeans as the only society where anybody could generate his own fortune following the American spirit, this is with hard work, proper self-discipline, and limitless determination. Only in America, we were told as kids, such things are possible, and we believed that deeply. At the end of WW2, we did not have to look far-away for the proof. At that time, everything good came from America. The US rescued us from Hitler’s tyranny, fed us, helped us politically and economically to survive the terrible aftereffects of the war. What has been totally forgotten, America also gave the war-ravaged European countries, especially Germany, the vision and practical help to establish their own democratic political systems. At that time, the US Constitution was considered the ideal form of people-oriented government form. I still remember the enthusiasm of my High School teacher praising everything American. Pierre Kandorfer is a veteran journalist with thirty-five years of a media background. He wrote thousands of articles, hundreds of TV programs, and a dozen books such as “You Don’t Know Who You Really Are,” “No More Doubt – Science Confirms the Bible,” “Whom Can We Still Trust,” “Fight Back Manual,” “Find Peace of Mind or Lose Your Mind,” in addition to some media textbooks. Pierre’s books are available at NeverGiveUpYourDream.US Amazon and other booksellers

• Americans prioritize individual liberty, while
Europeans value more the role of the state to
ensure what society needs.
• Americans are much more tolerant of critical
opinions under the premise of free speech. In
Europe, however, opposing and disparaging
ideas are more likely to be considered as
“offensive” and therefore not at all or less
acceptable.
• Americans consider their religion very
important in their life. In France, as an
example, only 14% of people regard their faith
as very important, Pew Research found out.
• Americans and Europeans don’t agree on
much about questions of morality. Adultery is,
as an example, not widely accepted in the US.
In Europe, on the other side, it is much more
tolerable and therefore “not a big deal”.
Not many things amplify the central aspects of
American exceptionalism more than the difference
between the American and the French revolution.
• The French Revolution ended in blood with
many people dead, the American revolution
concluded with the Declaration of
Independence and a guarantee of individual
liberty, equal opportunity, and “life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness” for all.
• The French revolution took place in France
and threatened their own monarchy. The
