Honestly! Do you think America is as great a country as it was ?

[rightwinger]

Of course we are...

We are different than we used to be but still stand out among the nations of history. No nation in history has ever had the power of the US and used it less

i know one cannot just 'hope' it...but we must unite and work hard to our common goals

Unfortunately, our friends on the right seem to have developed an allergy to compromise. Rather than the foundation of our nation, they now see it as the plague.

We are still the best country that ever existed, but like all countries we have issues and downtimes. I hope we come out it, but we need some fundamental shifts to do it. First and foremost, we need to be a business friendly country again!

Sorry, it's hard to work with people on the left when you know they lie through their teeth and call everyone BUT themselves racists. Suck a donkey appendage whydonchya?

can't pay for all thier bullshit on both sides without productive business paying taxes. Attacking them at nausium is not the way to increase tax payments.

Totally. The question is do we learn from our mistakes and improve on the quality of life or do we repeat our mistakes and compound error?????

I think most see our country as the greatest nation on Earth, but it has eroded some because of government growth.
I have no idea what your allergy issue is about? Politics, I guess

It was the beginning of the end when we went after Korea. The Nazi's took over the goobermint and created an unsustainable permanent war economy which benefited few.

I just takes a lot of time for something so incredibly big to turn to rubble.
The US is now in a post industrial age and will become as third world nations who are currently in, or now entering, the very times that made murka America.

When they said "the souths gonna rise again" they meant WAY south.
If they can just get the IMF to leave them alone like Lula did, they'll be fine.
Those assholes begged Lula not to pay them off. He told'em fuck off.

A House Divided Cannot Stand. Hell no we are not as great as we used to be. How can we be great when our demonRats presidents act the way they do?

For me, America didn't become a 'great contry' until the 1970's.

Great people , great country, evil government .

When was America better off than it is right now?

 

[Charles_Main]

The potential is still there. We can be as great as we choose to be.

 

[B. Kidd]

Great people , great country, evil government .

In a representational democracy, isn't 'great people' and 'evil government' a contradiction in terms when used in the same sentence?

When was America better off than it is right now?

Pre 2007, The 90's. Just a couple of times

I disagree. My life is better now than it was in the 90s.

Many Millions of Americans do not feel the same.

Nearly twice as many people are out of work as either of those times. Our National Debt is MUCH higher. Nothing has been done to address most of the underlying issues that are a drag on our Economy and a threat to our Future.

I can not see how anyone could think over all we are better off now than then. Your personal Situation aside.
