What's Going On In Our Country?

Question

Have we replaced the Soviet Union as the ultimate hypocrisy in world affairs? What ever happened to being the beacon for freedom for all humanity?
 
George Bush and the Israeli lobby through AIPAC has forced all politicians to act against the American national interests and our position as a moral society and a beacon for freedom.

And why would the American Israeli supporters along with the Christian Right support an Apartheid State in Israel or condone the confiscation of Arab Lands where we as a people always condemned these policies before?
 
Simple corruption of our entire political system and I hope all patriotic Americans wake up and save our nation.

Answer 1

You ARE one hundredc absolutely correct. WE (USA) are slowly becoming a DICTATORSHIP nation. It is such a sorry state and most people do not realize what is going on. You WILL do this, You WILL do that, You CAN'T do this, You CAN'T do that. And it is all justified as it is for your own safety, or health, or good. Its ALL a crock of CHIT. I think it is time for a revolution.

Answer 2

Your question is filled with so many generalities I don't know where to begin.

First, I agree that our Nation is hypocritical in many ways on the World stage. But were we ever the beacon for freedom for all humanity? Maybe if all you read is what's printed on U.S. currency. Hint: look toward Scandinavia for a shining example of morality, freedom, and charity toward fellow man. Not here.

Bush "has forced all politicians to act against the American national interests...." Really? ALL politicians? Read this and get back to me. http://www.therant.us/guest/p_miller/03042006.htm . There are many "politicians" who really don't support the "state" of Israel.

I can't answer the third part. That was done long ago by people who are no longer in power, and was, in my opinion, a really bad idea. There was no confiscation though; there was no official state where the State of Israel now lies. Most of the entire region of "Arab Lands" at the time were simply colonies of Britain or other nations. In that sense, I guess we've always condoned colonialism, and do to this day.

I appreciate your anger on the subject but would advise you that there are much larger issues that you could be an activist about. Like healthcare, or how term limits are killing our democracy. Simple corruption as you say is best portrayed in the form of lobbyists. You want to save our nation? Stop worrying about foreign policy and electing Republicans who will "keep us safe." Safe but oppressed and poor. No thanks.

Answer 3

What the Germans (and most of the rest of the world) have already learned, the U.S. is in the process of discovering. Nationalism and it's evil twin fascism are new to he U.S.
The breeding ground was perfect and the Bush junta seized upon it in 2001. Transforming the country into a state of fear was easy by demolishing the World Trade Center (or at least not trying to prevent it) and blaming it on the perfect bogeyman Osama bin Laden. Bin Laden was already an admitted terrorist, so there was no disbelief to be expected.

After the attack the Bush junta had a blank check to curtail civil liberties as they fancied. Just read the original patriot act. In Germany the Reichstag burned and the Dutch guy Van der Lubbe was squarely blamed. Days after that Hitler received all the powers he asked for handed on a silver platter. The opposition was weak and reminds one very much on the conditions in 2001.

The Bush junta has identified that war is good business. Although they were not the first who saw that. There have been other republican administrations that came to this realization. A scared public, grotesquely uneducated and left int he dark is the best breeding ground for fascism. The Bush junta has the best chance to convert the U.S. into a new Nazi state. Dr. Lawrence Britt has surveyed several fascistic regimes and came up with a list of properties a fascistic regime sports. Have a look at try to apply that list to the U.S. of today.

Answer 4

You are right. Since 9/11 America is frightened and are not really paying attention to what is happening. Even countries and people who always admired America are concerned where this administration is going. The Constitution of the US is in place to protect the freedom and rights of all citizens. Guantanamo bay, locking people up without trial I believe goes against everything America represents, even after WW2 the Nazi's got a trial. Contrary to what a lot of people think the US is not hated around the world, there are a lot of people who are not Americans but who admired America very sad to see what is happening. Terrorism is not a new and has to be fought but not at the expense of everything that made America great. Come on , take your country back.

Answer 5

You're mistaken if you think corrupt politicians are to blame for America's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian issue.
According to a poll taken by the Pew research center in May 2006 only 13% of Americans sympathize with Palestinians.
If American politicians are pro Israel it's probably because it helps them to get elected.

Answer 6

Well this is entirely a question for further debate and clarification. The facts are Israel owns The USA and the UK. These two countries are beholden to Israel period. The Jews do not have any influence in France, Germany and any other Western civilization you can care to mention, but have the USA and the UK by the balls.

Answer 7

Where the hell do you think we got this country? We occupied the homeland of the american Indians!But,I don't mean to sound unpatriotic,I just wish we didn't look so bad to the rest of the world,due to boygeorges' stupid invasion of a country that had not a damn thing to do with 9/11!

Answer 8

The large Corporations have bought and payed for our politicians and they control this country , Congress and the White House do what ever they ask ..
We don't have to worry about being attested by others , we are being attracted from the inside .

Answer 9

like we have control over this situation, evil is in charge now, all we can do is sit back and try and stay unnoticed, and I don't believe we voted George Bush into office, I believe evil corrupt politicians and governors got him in there

Answer 10

I am awake and couldn't disagree with you more. Time for you to wake up and smell the coffee buddy the Democrat's are not the way to go. VOTE REPUBLICAN!
