A great quote by an unknown author:
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to the depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. Thus, the problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
Americans have been on a loosing streak! And not just Obama- MOST politicians! What do you think?:
Is America at the point of no return?
Are we soon going to say "The once great nation"
Will in the next few decades we will want to immigrate over seas to live the Chinese dream?
Must there be another revolution to undo what has been done?
Or can we straighten up before we have gone too far?
I know my point of view- Im interesten to hear America's!

AMEN Arizona, those two lines says so much
Data, I see where you are comming from. But I must admit I say the fools deserve what they get, and the smart ones get out there and drive those blood sucking politicians out of office and make things right!
GO AHEAD GOVERNMENT- XEROX THAT COMMENT!
GO AHEAD GOVERNMENT- XEROX THAT COMMENT!
ZF- be careful with your research, I am highly aware that the media often embellishes and lies, however, one can not turn their head on the actual truths, the US is at an all time high with dropout rates (up to 50% of students IN SOME STATES) Science is having budget cuts left and right- (as obama has already announced with the cut in NASA) the military had an enormous amount of cuts. With less than 0.25% (yes a quarter of one percent) of the American people in the military, I am shocked when the nearby military base has had THEIR GAURDS FIRED leaving the base open to anyone to enter....My goodness these are things I see in real life- the media didnt show me these horrors. Look at history, every great nation has fallen, are we so naive to believe ours is untouchable?
dudeman612...I think I have read the comments of an individual that understands the importance of knowing history and how it is a predictor of the future. The question is now, how do we, the people that understand such urgent circumstances fight against this...can it be done despite the growing number of the ill informed and the overly-comfortable?
Mario B: YOU ARE RIGHT As a great leader of freedom said :"1."When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." There is a reason the right to bear arms is seconded only to freedom of speech- Do people think that Fidel Castro came about overnight? These things happen when people have no defense in their government, and the government no longer have reason to hold back their power
Answer :
The way the people have been giving up their freedoms and transferring more and more power to the central government by electing ambitious and crooked politicians for the last century makes me skeptical that things will get any better.
We have a monumental opportunity come this election cycle, due to the hostility toward and mistrust of our incompetent government, to throw the bums out and start over. Unfortunately, for a few reasons, I am not getting to excited or expecting to much.
First off, people have always complained about congress, but then when they are asked about their particular representative, they like them and want to reelect them. They just want to see everyone elses representative get the boot and start over.
Secondly, the electorate has a very short attention span. So, even if they elect new faces this Nov., it is unlikely that this fervor will maintain itself until the next election. Voters are complacent and it takes a lot to get them riled up to change things, and usually the slightest bit of change will appease them and they'll go back to their slumber. Once that happens, the crooked politicians get drunk with power and start all over again.
And thirdly, there is so much misinformation and half truths out there that most people don't know what to think. Most people will just believe who ever can push their "emotion" buttons the most. Most voters are very poorly informed about politics, the pros and cons of certain policies, political history, who the candidate really is, and so on. I don't think most people take the time to really know who they are electing and what that politicians platform equates to, what we can expect if their policies come true.
I do agree with the quote about Obama, or any politician, being nothing more than a mere symptom of incompetent, ill-informed, and/or lazy voters.
Nations rise and fall, and during their lifetime they also ebb and flow between rising prosperity and declining prosperity. The decline is usually slow and hard to detect and it usually comes after the nation's highest point of prosperity. Primarily because the citizenry is living the good life and they become lazy and complacent due to living the good life. They basically become pampered and expect everything to come easily, instant gratification. Which is where we are at now.
Answer :
oh I love when people talk about freedom
when the reality the government control all aspect of you life
you don't need to put soldiers in your cities
to have a tyranny dictatorship
just remember people can ruin your life with a ink pen
Answer :
well i dont think all of that is true at all. you see, the unfortunate truth about this world is that it is run by the media. by the sounds of things, ur a little too tied in it all. what is happening with the us at the present time is exaggerated. America is no worse than it was during the great depression. the us is still the information, research, entertainment, academic, and military capital of the world, and thats not changing any time soon. the american dream is still alive. and although the president isn't very well liked, America will always be on top.
