"God Bless America"

Why do so many American politicians say this at the end of a speech?

1. It sounds good.

That's what most people really care for, the artificial shit, they want their leaders to look and sound good before delving into the evil details.

2. It brings up nationalist ideals

A good way to gain support in your country, making dumb people feel empowered for just being part of a strong country.




Personally I think the saying is trickery, and if I heard someone saying it I would then be very cautious of them.
