The disintegration of America in my lifetime has been appalling. At one time Americans could travel fearlessly and be greeted with friendship almost everywhere they went. Now it's the opposite.
I suppose we the people are as much to blame for choosing the leaders who have done these things as the leaders themselves. And looking around at the world it seems like Americans are the slowest waking up.
It would be easy to go on and on, but I'll keep it brief, the point is made.
IMHO "much to blame for choosing the leaders" is a myth. Where is there any proof we (the people of America) chose our leaders?
