I was under the impression America is more or less 90% of the time the root cause of global disasters with technologies such as Haarp etc. Only teasing!
It's Friday 13th! I'm feeling cheeky!

as baffled, confused and amazed as to what is going on, in that this country
doesn't even compare to what it was just 10 years ago.

I'm a patriotic American. I have served our country and I wholeheartedly committ myself to our founding principals.
Our president is the dumbest smart guy I've ever seen.
He's like my wife, he just spends spends spends without a thought as to where the money comes from.
Public servant, he's blown more on vacations this summer than my father was worth when he died, and he wasn't poor. lol.
I firmly believe that if America doesn't defend freedom in this world nobody will.
This world has needed America for more than 200 years. They've needed our economy, they need our financial aid, they need our military to protect them against the powers that have tried to establish widespread dominance.
They need us to protect their ability to be free.
The world frowns upon our actions with Iraq and the Taliban.
I haven't seen a successful teror attack from the crippled Al Quaeda or the barely functional Taliban since we went after them.
We have the premier military in the world, we should have used it at full capacity.
We're proud people
When your countries are threatened who do you call? USA.
Many of us have served or still serve in our military because we feel its an honor to serve our country that affords us more freedoms than anywhere else in the world.
Our current trade deficit is almost 280 billion dollars for jan-july 2010. We give too much. We give other countries opportunities to capitalize on our consumers too much. We are too nice. We're too concerned with the worlds opinion of us.
And I'll carry my happy arse to Australia.
But before you run around bashing us as a whole try appreciating all the good we've done.
Our president is the dumbest smart guy I've ever seen.
I firmly believe that if America doesn't defend freedom in this world nobody will. The rest of the world leaders seem to bend to the will of the UN. I don't want our country governed by a global consortium as most countries don't share our ideals. This world has needed America for more than 200 years. They've needed our economy, they need our financial aid, they need our military to protect them against the powers that have tried to establish widespread dominance. They need us to protect their ability to be free.

Yes we can !
Scratch that message stuff... Obama succeeded without a message all together.
Admittedly it would be nice to see your citizens capable of finding us on a map (so maybe that part is a schooling issue)
