The whole world is watching while the USA collapses

People in France and the UK have always looked up to the USA. It won't be long before that stops, I guess. These are stories I read, watched and heard in the mainstream media over here:
your political system is one of the most corrupt systems in the world
your politicians represent companies instead of people
your government will probably censor the internet
your government detains without trial
your government tortures people
your government hires mercenaries
your government does nothing to improve education
your president doesn't have any real influence over what happens
your presidential candidates are stupid beyond belief
your presidential candidates promote stupidity
your presidential candidates are not taking seriously over here
your elections are a joke
your media outlets cannot be trusted
your media outlets focus on distractions instead of main issues
your people are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed when they're uninsured
your infrastructure is collapsing
your economy will soon be top 3 instead of #1
your economy will probably collapse a second time
Let's do something about it. We need the big brother to act like role model. Right now he's high as a kite.

 

Many critical observations that I've yet to see in our MSM. Please share a link to one of these news sources, if you don't mind. I would like to add it to my feed.

 

True enough. Every country has got problems, but I find it weird how many Americans want to go fixing other countries problems without having all the answers themselves. It is like a taco who demands a burrito to act more like a tostada. It is the same exact thing except with a different name and a different brand (talking to you Iraq)

 

One thing at a time. Obama -- the nation's incomparably incompetent Community Organizer-in-Chief -- will be gone in a mere 640 days, six hours, and thirty minutes to be replaced by a GOPer president with dominant control of the Legislative Branch. That will get some things moving again in a positive direction.

The nation's Mainstream Media is rapidly being supplanted by the Internet and by Fox News as fair and balanced information sources.

After the Left ginned up three attempts to start a race war in a row (Martin, Brown, and Garner) the average citizen is now sick and tired of the Left's blatant race hustling and agitating.

After watching our Socialist/Marxist trained president urinate all over this nation and its Constitution, those two treasures of the Left's core ideology are once again falling into disrepute with the average citizen.

So . . . things are looking up!

 

No... I think if people are blaming a party or their president for their countries issues, then they are failing to see how their country got f****** up in the first place. A policy of sectarianism failed miserably in the Middle East, while in America the policy of partisanship is taken a little more radically. Other countries do not have to deal with ridiculous politics like in the United States, because they have more than two parties, all with their own comprehensive views.

 

Wishful thinking. Hardly any of your facts are true

 

Actually everything on there is true, while the ones on censorship and the US economy are speculation.
Give the man some credit, he says he wants to do something about, not just point the finger.

 

You’ve party hit upon perhaps the worst part of what has become the American political system, possibly even to what our society has become. As is evident from Gatewood’s post a great deal of American politics, American discourse, proceeds along the lines not all that different from professional wrestling. Not a lot of intellectual honesty with plenty of arguments that amount to little more than crude attempts at insults.

 

Of course your prognostication of the benefits of republican dominance in the next elections to be realized will require the democrats to not behave like the republicans have for the past 8 years. If the dems were to implement the same strategy so marvelously architected by the republicans I doubt much of anything is going to change.

 

On behalf of the good people of the United States of America let me just say that we do not care, and give us money.

 

What? You mean you think that the GOP is going to put a Community Organizer into the Oval Office who was mentored by nation-hating leftist radicals and who has ZERO meaningful national level experience? Nah, I don't see that happening.

 

New flash. America goes down so does many others holding american bonds and trades with America .

 

No it isn't, get some perspective and stop being utterly ridiculous.

Cut down on the meaningless leftist drivel will you?

There are reasons for that. National security n (*)(*)(*)(*). Let's stop pretending that there aren't terrorists using the internet, okay?

To people who have neither signed nor are covered by any documents of war-laws. Terrorists do not have rights.

I suppose you would rather have innocent people blown up, to protect people who are scum and who do not have rights to begin with. I can barely see you down there on your moral low-ground.

and?... Are mercenaries evil or what?

Blame the democrats for that. Bloated public schools.

That's because Obama is a fool who is either incomptent or intentionally trying to reduce the USA's global influence. The POTUS can have a very real and very strong global influence. Obama, for whatever reason, chooses not to.

Don't be to hard on Hillary.

Good thing that people "over there" aren't voting for POTUS then?

That's true for media everywhere.

All uninsured people everywhere are (*)(*)(*)(*)ed, what's your point?

When Hollywood and silicon valley moves to China, I'll start to worry about them.

 

Apparently a russian is prophetizing the end of the usa, this is funny. Putin and his dispotism are going down sooner than usa, if that's even going to happen.

 

yeah, well Bush had great support in 2002, and he had a Republican majority and what "got done' was atrocious. So having a Republican govt is FAR from any guarantee of things going well. As I said, if it's obvious that the Repubs are going to fully control Congress, better vote for a Democrat for prez, as much as that pukes you and as dangerous as it is, since they'll get to seat another liberal Supreme Justice.

 

Interesting how much we start to mirror other countries, the worse we look.

 

No. You will put into office a someone who celebrates the power of the few, who thinks super-power means right, who believes that the whole world should think of us as exceptional because we give ourselves that label, that any idea which did not originate on these shores is, at least, suspect, that only US citizens (notice I did not say Americans) love their country, that this is a Christian country and separation of church and state is the one place where the Constitution is wrong (unless it disagrees with any of the popular rightest concepts in which case the constitution is wrong in those areas as well,) who believes that corporations are citizens, that hasn't a clue of the complexities of Middle East issues, that believe the current President has done nothing right, that would rather undercut their President even when it smacks of traitorous behavior than to support the current uppity occupant, that believes any tax is bad that does not support either business of the Koch brothers specifically, well - you get my drift. I hope the Republican party does not have a prayer of electing a president until it becomes patriotic again and is more interested in solving the countries problems than in belittling the current President.

 

Why do people who don't live in America assume people who do live in America are all brain-washed party-puppets who jump to the personal attack when we hear one true but unpleasant fact about our government?
Is it really so? However I accept the critics partly.

 

All empires must one day fall. History dictates it.
I think we are probably headed towards a time where the United States is no longer number one at everything and we have already seen some of this come true.
The main question is how Americans will stand this collapse?

 

A lawful and peaceful revolution with Article V preceded by preparatory amendment which is mandated by states, logically for Americas most important political event since its inception is what will "do something about it".
States controlled by the people because the people have agreed upon elements of prime constitutional intent and refuse to allow officials that do not support that intent to remain in office in a constitutional emergency.

The specific prime constitutional intent referred to is the right to alter or abolish through Article V and that freedom of speech has the ultimate purpose of enabling the unity required to effectively assure all amendments have constitutional intent.

We start now with your acceptance of that ultimate purpose of free speech for us Americans as a point of unity we can assemble upon.

 

If you think that's the solution you're sorely deluded.

The GOP has done nothing to shrink the size or reach of government. Nada. Zip. Zero. Squat.

The GOP will not save us. In fact, "today's" GOP will do exactly the opposite. In fact they'll do the exact same thing the Democrats will, 'cause that's just how stupid they are these days.

 

See? This is how things are trending. The two parties are trying to out-do each other in stupidity. They're trying to find out which one of them can be more idiotic. "Hey, they did it too, so we gotta do it twice as bad." Yeah right, that's a winning strategy. At this rate we're not gonna last a long as the Romans.

 

Your not-so-veiled but entirely empty threat is a big part of what's wrong with today's politics (and politicians).

"Too big to fail". There's a good one.

"Spread the risk", that's another one.

Why do you think everyone and their brother is starting non-dollar trading systems? Duh...

Yeah, the world will take a hit if America goes down, but at some point no one's gonna care anymore and they'll figure the cost is worth it. Gnome sain'?

 

Yeah, well.... it's interesting to see the level of denial in this thread, ain't it?

There are two big cultural factors in this equation: one is, most people "expect" politicians to be at least a little corrupt, and two is, most people will sit out a vote rather than get up and protest.

Go talk to the Supreme Morons. They claim money is speech, and as long as that's the case no one's going to agree on the purpose.
