But the real problem I see being an issue is that many children aren't being raised by very well skilled parents in even the simplest social skills. It's breeding a larger nation of idiots, who in turn will only replicate the same in larger numbers. |
The overall condition of American society is good. Americans, in general, have never been able to be subjected to any tyrant's yoke, and that will remain the same. We are different than anyone else in the world. I strongly feel that the Bush administration is the latest in a long line of attempts to put us under the heel of government, and was the most successful
attempt since FDR. Still, it did not come to fruition.
In the future, the best way out of the mess we are now in is:
1) Ensure the death of Neoconservatism in the Republican party.
2) Once this is accomplished, hopefully this year, then support the "restored" Republican party, and resist the Democrats, which will only bring us more of the same we have been getting for the last 8 years.
3) Begin treating the Constitution in the same way a true Christian treats the 10 commandments.
4) Begin paying down our massive Federal debt, and ensure that never again do Federal expenditures exceed Federal income.
5) Get rid of the Patriot Act.
6) Bring our troops home. If we are attacked again, we can always carpet bomb into oblivion whichever nation supported those efforts. We already have that capability. Let that carpet bombing, and its resultant destruction, be a lesson to those who believe they can harm America. For every American killed in a terrorist attack, kill ten thousand in the nation which supported the attack. We don't need troops over there, not if our enemies, and their enablers, know that they will suffer a literal hell on earth should they attack us.
7) Finally, be vigilant against any form of Socialism, which is destructive to American values.
This is a good start.
