@hingehead,
There's so many ways to "be" American, that we can only surmise and postulate, but I'll have my two-bob's worth, I s'pose.
When I put myself in the position of having to decide on a future for my imaginary American offspring, I'd be looking at the huge debt ceiling (remember that congress almost said "let's fold, we're outta here" on the debt debate, and it's not long until again that debate will have to take place. Will the prez allow the fed res to run the presses, and prop up the banks again? Or does he have any say in that matter at all? Interest rates can't fall any further than zero. Something has to give. No bubbles left to burst are there?
The prez, despite appearances, is no more or less warloving than the last one, the difference being that the VP played a more active role, last time. We hardly hear a peep from the veep this time around. Not that I'm complaining. Cheney never once found favour with me or mine.
On the T-potty, when I found out that the Koch bro criminal syndicate were behind the movement, it was clear that the right needed to distance themselves severely from the happy brigade, and negate any influence from them at all. That was a fail all around.
The Koch bros are killers. There's no escaping facts. The T-potty are the Koch's arms and legs in the community. A poison seeping into society, just like their factories are poisoning communities across America.
There's where your failure lies, people. Address your real issues. Out these killers, and take back your EPA and FDA. Both agencies are corrupted totally, and acting like a gestapo movement within your borders.
