I would say that the height of American power was in the 1950s. The dollar was supreme, we produced what we consumed including cars and electronics. We were a sell sufficient nation then able to meet our own needs.

Now the US is a sprawling nation of citizens absorbed with retarded media and sybarite lifestyles. Our position in the world for granted.

Just look at the US now. We have become the world's biggest shopping mall. We borrow money from the Chinese so we can buy Chinese crap and our politicians serve one interest or another, not the US that's for sure.

We can't produce a TV or an automobile worth **** anymore but we can still bomb the hell out of third world countries. I guess that's worth something.

For **** sacks just look a the candidates we have in this upcoming election. Is this the best America can do? Has our respect for intelligence sunk so low that people would actually support a ditzy soccer mom with absolutely no worldly experience and a cranky bottom of his class Vietnam Vet who can't even tell the difference between Spain and Latin America? Bush is hardly able to string a coherent sentence together.

I want a president who is more intelligent than me, who is articulate, and would put me to shame if I were to debate him. I actually wish we could go back to WASP dominated politics.

God damn baby boomers. Your generation has completely ****ed this country up and sold out at every opportunity because you got greedy. And I hope you baby boomers will be the first to die when the financial system collapses and your retirement savings evaporates.

Truth is, we could probably due for good Soviet Union style meltdown. I'm tired of seeing fat girls everywhere I go. At least a lower standard of living would make it harder for Americans to gorge on food.
