America has lost its fucking mind

[MrScorpio]

How many times in history was it necessary for a president to talk the nation off of the freaking ledge?

8. Thanks to Fox we've replaced the Bald Eagle with Chicken Little

[Orsino]

9. It's like the end of the Roman Empire, with cell phones and minus some of the slavery.

Our leaders tell us only what we can't do, and our needs are ignored as the very rich loot whatever prosperity remains.

10. ...if I knew I'm going down? Some...blood and circus/ christians vs lions thing mibht be fun

11. Yes it has,

The most powerful nation the world has ever seen. America can project "lethal kinetic energy" any where on the globe 24/7, and it still dominates the world economy, despite a great deal of self inflicted damage. Yet, America has the self-image of a frightened victim, who is willing to trade everything for anything that will enhance it's perceived security, including the values that made it a great nation.
History shows that we never fully lived up to our professed values, but it seems to me that we used to try harder. A cynic would say that everyone has their price, but even if thats true, I'm just surprised that "We the people" have been willing to give up so much for so little in return.

[GeorgeGist]

12. We the people ...

includes everyone; not just Americans.

[Bosso 63]

17. By "everyone", what do you mean?

Do you mean that everyone sold out, not just Americans? I'm not sure what your point is.

[GeorgeGist]

13. We the people ...

includes everyone; not just Americans.

[astral]

14. America doesn't still 'dominate' the world economy n/t

[Bosso 63]

16. O.K. who is it then?

[MilesColtrane]

15. America is like a gigantic, obese infant with an AK trained on the rest of the world.

[Fumesucker]

20. You forgot ADHD, paranoid and schizophrenic..

[proteus_lives]

18. More times then you think.

I always suggest that people read more history. Puts things in perspective.

[Bosso 63]

21. The only thing new is the history you don't know

Hope that helps your perspective.

[RedCloud]

19. Dumbed down is what the corporate elite wants from us.

[Bosso 63]

22. True , but we get cheap white bread and an endless circus.

It the damn clowns that freak me out.

[Initech]

23. Considering the insane number of people who actually believe Obama is Kenyan, I agree.
