That we are starting to accept the collectivist opinions of other countries. We need to stick with the liberal individualism that made this country great

Arrogance: The United States thinks their s--t don't stink only the other countries do. They think the American people are so stupid you can tell them anything and they will believe it. Case in point; Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so you send our troops over there for what? No weapons of mass destruction have ever been found, so they come up with the MiddleEast needs to have democracy, Why, when they see how the US democracy works, rapist, child molesters and preditors get a slap on the wrist and a warning not to get caught again, the system releases them and their back out doing the same thing again but being a little more causes so as not to get caught. They think they are the smartest people in the world, but yet it took 5 days to help the Katrina Hurrican victims and less than 2 days to help the people of the Tusami of 2004
Greed: Other countries and States with oil rigs get a percentage of the revenue, but why not New Orleans, why should the government get it all? You tell the American people that their tax dollars are being used to help rebuild war torn countries, but you're the cause of all of it by backing Israel. Israel began bombing Lebannon over two captured soldiers? Please, that was their agenda all along, they wanted to wipe the Muslims off the face of the earth, but when the Muslims fought back and got help, it was a different story. The Jews with the backing of the United States is nothing more than a bully, and when you defeat the bully, The US has to lie so as to rally the American people behind you. Look at ENRON, whatever is happening in the US other countries are seeing it and yes they want to come here and get their riches and leave. We may have the mightest army, but we cannot protect our country.
Power: When you let a man like Bush in office a man who does not value human life unless it's his own. A man who grew up playing with toy soldiers and now has the power to use real ones to play his games. A man whom you can't tell him he is wrong.

1) Political Correctness..... fear of offending those that need offending. This tactic of the leftists has crippled our government more than anything else in history. Worse yet, for a while, the people fell for it.
2) Open borders..... allowing the ruling class of Mexico to send its "new slavery" slaves into the USA to STEAL and send money back to Mexico, money that ends up in the hands of the ruling class. How this issue is resolved will determine the future of the USA. If allowed to continue at the present pace, it will be the biggest drain on the US economy ever seen.
3) Failure to fight a war in a manner that will bring about the quickest victory.
4) Politicians and political parties that use issues as POLITICAL FOOTBALLS instead of addressing them in a manner that provides the best solution.
5) Uninformed voters: maybe this should be #1 on the list, but with the games politicians and the media play, it is not easy to get the information needed to be a truly informed voter. Thus, we are left with party line voting.... and voting for the "lesser of two evils". It is a shame that we don't have the opportunity most of the time to vote for the best candidate...... those who would be the best in a particular position, usually don't run for office.
6) Wasting money on foreign aid...... defined as
"taking money from the poor people of a rich country and giving it to the rich people of a poor country".....
Douglas Casey, Classmate of Bill Clinton at
Georgetown U.
7) There are more, but they pale in comparison. Voting a corrupt politician back into office after he/she has shown what manner of person they really are.... would be one of them.

Firstly: The failure of the adult population to comprehend human rights. Secondly: total incomprehension of the untenability of the international situation regarding WMD, especially nuclear weapons. Thirdly: The U.S. allows itself to become divided from its traditional allies (like France and Germany), making the struggles against terrorism more difficult. Fourth: the U.S. maintains its own puissance at the expense of the U.N., which greatly undermines efforts to bring security to the entire world. Lastly, the country would have been better off if the guy who got most of the votes back in 2000 actually assumed the office of president the following January.

It's lost touch with it's roots. It was founded on Constitutional freedoms, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press. Now the people and organizations that uphold these freedoms are being labeled un-American. Soon we will have to change the words to the National Anthem, because it will no longer deserve to be called the "land of the free".

Race relationships, job outsourcing, the welfare system, health care, our indifference to a swelling flow of illegal immigrants, a hostile profile in the world, refusal to negotiate with 3rd world countries on trade practices, indifference to booming economies of Southeast Asia, intervention in other nation's domestic issues, support of petty and corrupt dictators, the inability of the government to form rational aid policies, the loss of US work ethics, and a total sell-out to Japan....shall I continue?

The inability from either arrogance or ignorance to see the evil ways of its government, but instead keeping blindfolds on, wondering why the world dislikes them so.
Ignorance, here, is most definitely not bliss.
