The Republican party has been hijacked by the Religious Right, bent on establishing a Christian theocracy in America.The majority of our citizens oppose a war, yet most will do nothing to actively try to stop it. We spend more taxpayers money on other nations than our own(think of Hurricane Katrina,our response to the Philippines landslide,etc).
Also, in the aftermath of Katrina, we had armed Blackwater mercenaries on the streets of New Orleans with automatic guns. The disproportion of wealth in this country is astonishing (1% of population holds 90% of the nation's wealth).
I fear our fate is tied with that of the Ancient Roman Republic, though we may not officially become an Empire, we may become an authoritarian establishment should we endure great instability and hardship(terrorist attack,etc). The Religious Right worries me the most, they have unprecedented power in America. It is easy to write them off without taking history into account.What is to stop them from ruining us?
