We used to be the Americans.

[Jeddahite]

We used to be the Americans. There was no one else like us. We were known around the world for our courage, our fairness, our honor, our generosity, our ability to get things done. And no one had to tell us how to be great. Now we're the Americans. There's no one like us. We're known around the world for our violence, our stupidity. What happened to us?

Technically we're still Americans. It's just that Obama has made the world recognize that we are now post-constitutional Americans.

Well the "good" reputation came from WW1 and also WW2.

The "bad" reputation came from Viet Nam and Somalia.

W made it worse with Iraq. That was the bumbling idiot phase.

Actually the USA is still taking the heat for what W did as POTUS.

BHO pulling out of Iraq did not improve anything however. None of the Europeans was anxious to jump in and take over.

BHO has learned his lesson at least and therefore he is not forcing a pull out from A-stan.

Barack Obama and his team,

 

[HenryBHough]

When you discover that an ally is not a reliable ally is it not prudent to cut and run? Who can blame the Europeans!

When will he learn to stop inciting racial instability?

 

[HenryBHough]

BHO?

Learn?

Get real.

 

[Old Rocks]

Fucked up bullshit. We got into a cycle of more guns on the street, that is the answer. And the asshole racists came out of the woodwork when a President was elected by a majority of the people that was not lily white.

There is no excuse for what happened at Dallas, just as there is no excuse for the all too many police killings of unarmed people.

We lost our mono-culture is WHAT happened.

Diversity sucks, and does NOT fucking work !

My theory is that the Great American Experiment worked too well. Our success made us fat, lazy and happy. And entitled. And for some, guilty for our wealth and power. Now what we're seeing is the manifestation of that guilt, some self-inflicted payback. It's working pretty effectively, too.

They were doing the same 125-250 years ago in North America, but they ran out of injuns..

So easy to say, without proof..

 

[Glazo]

ROFL!

Blargh. Bad attempt at quoting

 

[Jackson]

Yes we were once Americans. Americans who worked for their families place in the community. But then there were Mexican Americans, African Americans, Muslim Americans and who knows what else. Mexicans want jobs that are Americans', African Americans and Trailer Trash want hand outs instead of working for their bread and Muslims want to be in America for what reason? To terrorize? To live sharia HERE? To change America.

Now I must add the caveat, that not all blacks, or Muslims fit in those neat little categories, but many will. For those that do...go back home so we can have America the Great back again.

We were great when we kepted order within our society, demanded wealth to go towards a larger middle class instead of a few at the top and invested in our country. The 1940's, 50's and 60's were great. WTF are we today? One side wants to defend criminal activity and the other wants to do away with the little investment we currently take part in.
