I have concluded that this country is in a death spiral...
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 02:01 PM by PCIntern
and has been for a very long time.
Yes I know it's cynical and negative but my God, look around. Everything to which we once pledged our allegiance in the schools of our youth is gone or disappearing fast: Love of knowledge including science and fact supplanted in many casses by Creationism and Junk Science and Power of Deity; appreciation for literature,culture, and music of the past - although one didn't at that now far-distant time have to be a 'fan' of these things, they were appreciated simply for being, even by most who shunned them, there was grudging approval and some respect - now, even among 'cognoscenti', there is little or none; mainstream-accepted literally violent disapproval of laws and the Constitution, of legitimately elected representatives and their constituencies - the key here is that there are interview shows which calmly discuss the potential for assassinations of public figures, rather than the outrage which this should engender; levels of anger unseen in my lifetime towards individuals who do not toe the line 100%; loss of manufacturing and productivity, since we have become a colony, exporting raw materials and importing finished goods, with concimitant record unemployment with little hope of salvation in this regard; grotesque religious and racial intolerance; and much much more.
If the RW has a resurgence, we are doomed.
It never ceases to amaze me how these rants against white, Christian, non-liberals always end with anguished pleas for racial and religious tolerance.

5. I blame the media
Edited on Sun Apr-25-10 02:07 PM by graywarrior
For ALL of it. They are responsible for shining the light on the ****-fest of Teabaggers, racists, bigots, religeous fanatics, Sarah Palin, Babs Bachman, and every other slimey piece of shit GOP that dares open their mouths releasing shitstink opinions.
I despise the corporate media with a passion of a trillion burning suns.

7. Coup d'etat 2000: When the SCOTUS proved itself CORRUPT, that was it. THE END OF AMERICA.

11. We're doomed regardless. Look at Texas where they're trying to rewrite history.
Apparently Texas refuses to recognize itself as a province of Mexico or something.

12. I know what you mean, PC. Sometimes I find myself looking
at babies and small children and feeling sorry for them. What on earth will this country be like in 20 years?
Democrats?
Allowing babies to be born?
Heresy!

14. Toffler was Correct!
...and we Progressives made fun of him at the time as anti-intellectual. We misunderestimated the stupidity of the People-at-largeand the collapse of the media into utter banality and lies.
Well, thank goodness we have you 30% to tell the other 70% of us how to live.
Personally I find all this pessimism a direct affront to our beloved Leader. Obama said he was the only one who could save America, and indeed the world. He would end the wars, put a halt to political corruption, balance the budget, heal the sick and reverse global warming.
By saying America is doomed they are saying Obama cannot deliver. That makes Obama a liar and to call him a liar is racist, seditious treason.
America has no place for those who lack faith.

We are in a death spiral economically because of high taxes, entitlements and crazy government spending.
We are in a death spiral morally as well, government, schools, Hollyweird and the media etc are all in cahoots on that one.

Nonsense.
Everyone knows rich people stole their money from the pockets of the oppressed poor and if not for government taxing them and giving it back to the poor in the form of welfare the rich would just steal more while people starve.
And if you don't support Planned Parenthood and Hollywood it is because you fear the beauty of free sex.

Well I wish you shit-for-brains Liberals would hurry up and auger in. That way us regular folk can clean up the crash site and get on with the business re-creating the decent country we used to have.

Obama's first four hundred days and two thousand billion more in debt. That's deficiet spending averaging an even $5,000,000,000.00 per day. That is what I call a death spiral.
On edit three too many zeros on the per day but it does get confusing at those rates.

We are going to have it doubled or tripled before he leaves office

The left speaks of hearkening back to a respect for art, never realizing that was when art had a respect for it's subject. Seriously, most "artists" these days thoroughly discredit the very few who are sincere in their work. No, there exists no need to subsidize a piss christ or elephant dung crucifix. They aren't art and never will be.

Exactly...art has gone from the Sistine Chapel ceiling to piss Christ. Sorry but one requires immense reverence and talent, the other in your face cynicism of someone who is more interested in being sensational than creating art.

Why bother with the clean up. Just push the dirt over them and let the daisies grow.

Modern art is 99% verbal hype......better known as bullshit.

[quotewith concimitant record unemployment][/quote] DUmmie tries to use a big word and fails.
Babs Bachman
Do mean Michelle, you hideous ignoramous?
dares open their mouths releasing shitstink opinions.
DARE to open my mouth and have an opinion? DARE? You don't deserve to live anywhere with a free speech principle. Move to some tinpot communist utopia, why don't you. Also, you are a repulsive gnome.

All this ridiculous bellyaching about "teabaggers" and the Sarah Palins/Michelle Bachmans of this nation means:
If the USA fights to remain the shining beacon of freedom and prosperity in this world, as designed, then we are going to hell on a handcar....but if we vote ourselves into being a failing sloppy do-nothing socialist hell pit like Europe, then we are making "progress".
Amazing, isn't it? The logic of the Left, or at least the phony logic of the evil folks who run the Left. The DUmmies, well, they are just stupid.

I just hope they don't start to fight to keep it from becoming that "shining city on a hill," as President Reagan put it.

I think shit-for-brains confused Michelle Bachman for Barbara Bach.
