Everyone bitches about war, jobs, perceived oppression...boo fucking hoo. In reality nearly all of you dopes DIRECTLY BENEFIT from American dominance. If you really want to see America go down, then consider who will fill the power vacuum: China, Russia...Do you really think these countries will all of a sudden become benevolent towards western life and interests? Or those of the countries with the natural resources needed to fuel a first-world economy? No, not at all. If it wasn't the Americans, it would be the Chinese, or the Russians. Unless lady-Europe decides to get off its 70 year rag and assert itself instead of its continually parasitic feeding off of American efforts.
It's time to pull our collective head out of our collective ass and realize that this petty bullshit bickering is only serving to hasten our OWN demise. If you really want see 'America pay for its transgressions' (yes I am paraphrasing) then prepare yourself to live the life of a third-world citizen among a first-world crumbling infrastructure. Support your country, educate yourself, realize that this is no time for soapbox grandstanding.
And for the supposed conservatives out there, do you really think it is at all feasible that the US will be able to just become a shrinking violet on the world-front without consequence? What fucking jobs do you think are going to be created without any resources? That's why we are out in the world doing what needs to be done. Face the music, your crusade inevitably leads to demise. You advocate more harm than good. Furthermore, why don’t you take a closer look at Mitt Romney's world-traveling he made about 6 months ago...Cavorting with Arab royalty so as to groom him to assume power. Ron Paul? Seriously, you might as well bury your fucking head in the sand. If he ever had the chance for to implement his idealistic and romantic beliefs, my children would be servants in mandarin speaking households...fuck that nonsense.
Obama's administration has done an excellent job handling mass sedition at home, and an increasingly competitive world theatre. Totally and completely has my vote.
