It has to be tough being American:

To be in a country that has everything going for it. A country that has the power to be a world leader. That has a strong and proud history of defending democracy and advancement and see it all hijacked by the right wingers in the name of "Freedom" and "Liberty" while those very things are sold out for political gain and Responsibility and Respect are thrown away.
Thieves on Capitol Hill. Dodgy Used Car Salesmen in the White House. TV and Movies populated by Perverts, Predators and Bigots and a rabid gun toting, bible thumping, semi literate population who are pandered to by appeasers.
No Morals, no ethics and thank goodness, due to the gullibility of the masses and the greed of the few, not too much future.
Will the last intelligent American turn the lights off as he or she leaves and watch the place descend into the Wild West, until they run out of ammo?

It's been awhile since we've had a good president. The decent didn't just start with the current one. And America's down fall are the extremist on both the left and the right!

Absolutely. The Rot really started with Nixon and every administration since has contributed. Both sides of the House have been bought.@TattooPunch

@TattooPunch America doesn't really have a radical left. The first mainstream center left candidate you had in decades is bernie.
The radical left are the Americans who live and breath the Democratic party. Who take it to extremes

@TattooPunch democrats by international standards are center right. You're not radical left if you're not an anarchist or Marxist. Social democrats as in Norway and Sweden are center left at best.
@basilfawlty89 The fact that some people are slow enough to think Democrats in the U.S. are socialists indicates how uneducated they are regarding political ideology in general.

This is true.. Socialism is the balance to capitalism, not the enemy. Government and social policy run strong Human rights, strong environmental , education and health policies for the good of ALL people. Not just those who can pay today.@bijouxbroussard
