USA Down For The Count

 I have known for a long time that the US of America is FLAWED...  and, perhaps that is the wrong word...  being corrupt is not the right word either although most politicians are, in fact, corrupt...  if not with foreign countries then with lobbyists who want certain bills to be passed.

The word I am thinking about is more like intellectual arrogance coupled with greed.  It is almost like Americans were and still are of the opinion that they can do any damn thing they want to do because they know better than anyone else.

That philosophy and feeling is absolutely wrong.

1. We got involved with slavery because we thought it was the right thing to do at the time.
2. We took land away from Native Americans because we thought it was the right thing to do at the time.
3. We fought a war with Mexico over land at our southern border because we thought it was the right thing to do at the time.
4. We got involved in WWI and WWII because we thought it was the right thing to do at the time because, if we won, it would lead to us rebuilding the world.
5. We tried to promote our brand of Democracy in South America and Africa, the Middle East, and Europe because we thought it was the right thing to do at the time.

WE WERE WRONG IN EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE...

The US of America became WEALTHY at the expense of everyone else.  Now the rest of the world is no longer enamored with us.  

• South America dislikes us
• Africa dislikes us
• The Middle East dislikes us
• Russia dislikes us
• Asia dislikes us

Our economy is weak.

Our military is weak.

Our country is divided.

Our national debt is enormous.

Our education sucks.

Our politicians are corrupt.

Liberals try to censor conservatives.

We want to do away with fossil fuels.

Crime and violence are out of control

Illegal immigrants is now a crisis.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL BE BEFORE CHINA DECIDES WE ARE PERFECTLY VULNERABLE FOR AN ECONOMIC TAKEOVER?   Rhetorical question...
