Read the World is Flat,

Division between Secular and religious views play a role sometimes too.

right now the biggest crisis is how the world is perceiving US image.

Answer 2

There are actually many, but they all have a common center...so I have to say that the worst crisis in this country is a couple of related events which occurred in 1913. This was the beginning of the success of the globalist agenda. They had been trying for a long time to establish a Private central bank in this country, so they could take over control of the money. But, in 1913, they finally succeeded in creating the Federal Reserve system, and the unconstitutional income tax. Once the globalists got a firm foothold, they grew like a cancer, and they are still growing. THEY TRULY ARE THE CANCER OF THIS COUNTRY!!!!

I don't like Bush at all, any more than many of the other liberals, but we can't place all the blame for the ills of this country and this world on him...he is just one of their puppets. This does make him a him a horrible, evil man...but he is not a mastermind. He is not smart enough to be a mastermind. But he is evil because he agrees with them, and is happy to go along with their agenda.

Answer 3

We think that current issues that are pushed in front of us by the media and politicians just have to be the most important and therefore from that list one must choose what our biggest crisis is today. If we secumb to this menatality, then we are also opening ourselves up to manipulation by the same people that are "creating" the issues in the first place.

Don't get me wrong. Worldwide terrorism, how America is viewed in the world community, the war in Iraq and so forth are obviously very important issues. I do not lessen their importance or that they may constitute a crisis on an immediate basis.

However, I consider that the most dangerous crisis our country faces today is one that has been an ongoing one for decades. All too often, our politicians use "the crisis of the day" to justify actions that would not otherwise be accepted. But if you consider the gradual erosion of the spirit of indipendence and liberty in our country over the last 7 or 8 decades, I think you would agree that this is our biggest crisis as a nation (and individuals).

Our country was founded upon principles of indipendence, freedom and liberty that the framers of our Constitution were keenly aware of and took great pains to protect these qualities in the final document as originally signed. Our forefathers new the dangers that "popularism", socialism and so many other "isms" carried for our young country. One such danger was the concept of "democracy". Through the ideas of democracy, they knew that their hard fought freedom and the foundations of the new constitution could, and would be worn away on a gradual basis. And we see that this is has, unfortunately become the sad reality.

Whenever a republic begins down the road of coerced benevelence (welfare and entltlement programs), it is very well undedrstood and required that the "people" be led to believe that they are living in a democracy and therefore have the right to majority rule.

Therefore, I believe this country's most insidious and dangerous crisis is that we as citizens have been led (taught in government controlled schools) to believe that our great nation is in fact a democracy. Even worse, the term "Republic" has come to be defined by the term "democracy". In fact, these two terms are very much different and the results of exercising both results in very different consequenses. It is tragic that the parasitic concept of democracy has been born and allowed to flourish when our founders took such great pains to ensure that it never saw the light of day in this country. It is THE disease that will eventually result in our demise if not expunged from our governmental processes and psychie of our people.

I consider that there is a progression of ever dwindling freedom as regards the philosophies of governing. At the highest, a Constitutional Replublic. Here freedom flourishes and society is strong and vibrant. Downward from there is a Democracy. A pitiful shadow of a Constitutional Republic but though there are freedoms and liberties still present, they are insidiously attacked and minimized in every way possible. During the last phases of a democratic based government you will see the rise and increasing strength of socialism. There is a concerted effort on the part of socialist to muddy the concepts of liberty and freedom and to confuse the populace into believing there is no distinct lines between socialism and democracy (actually true) but that "democracy" (the camouflage of socialism) and a Constitutional Replubic are in fact the same. Of course the final step down from democratic socialism is a full fledged communism.

In governement, just as it is in life, nothing remains static for very long. Things are generally getting better or they are getting worse. In the case of how our government is viewed and how it operates and how it is "evolving", sadly we are well along the way to becoming a communistic country.

I remember the days of the cold war...Kruschev (sp?) announced that the US would be conquered without firing a shot! I think he is turning out to be quite a prophet. And if any of you out there believe that communism/socialism died with the Soviet Union...(sigh...)

I call on all Americans to please stop "being" Republican or "being" democrat or "being" any political party. If we are to ever outgrow the division that the "two party system" has created here in America, we MUST rise above party politics and become what our birthrights promise us...to have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...to be FREE and to exercise that freedom by using our God given gifts of objective reason and logic. If we can do that, and we apply whatever level of reason and logic to how our government should work, I strongly believe that logic and reason will demand that we return to our roots as Americans, claim our right to our individualism and exercise our freedom to exorcise our government of anyone who would attempt to sell us anything but the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Answer 4

Our walk across southern border. The rape of Americans by BIG business. A President that obviously has a hidden agenda, what else can possibly explain his actions, that is destroying America's credibility in the eyes of the world. A cesspool in Iraq. The middle-class of America being shipped overseas to cheap labor. Corrupt politicians, non-existent health care for the citizens of the greatest country on the face of the earth. I believe our economy is on the verge of collapse, hidden under the DOW's performance, which only tells me giant corporations are making big profits. We have so many problems it isn't even funny. Almost twelve years of the republicans running the government. Nice job my fellow Americans. If you guys are so worried about the security of our country how come you don't notice the invasion under way from Mexico?

Answer 5

Our population is being kept stupid, If you keep the masses ignorant you can maintain power.
Just look around most of the People in Congress, would not
be able to hold a job, yet we let them run our lives.
Most of the voters, vote on looks or some other superficial reason.

Answer 6

I believe our biggest crisis is the corporations taking over our government through lobbiests,it takes the voice away from the people and gives it to the greedy companies and banks.It is the root of most financial problems for the middle class who are the majority in this country.There is a solution of people getting thier congressman and senators to put through lobbiest reform but most citizens are blind to whats going on

Answer 7

Our fraudulent monetary system.

The only way to improve our nation’s economy is to take the power to print money out of private hands. We must shut down the PRIVATE Federal Reserve System and add an amendment to the Constitution disallowing any entity other than our government from printing our money.

The Federal reserve is an illegal PRIVATE institution that prints our money and charges us interest for our use of our money. How do we pay for that interest? Our Federal Income Tax. Not one dime of our income taxes goes to roads, schools etc. It ALL goes toward paying unnecessary interest on debt. This means that every year the working people of America are pouring BILLIONS of dollars into the pockets of the supper rich who own the Federal Reserve Banks!!!!!

THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS A GROUP OF ILLEGAL PRIVATE BANKS THAT STEALS EVERY DIME YOU PAY IN INCOME TAX TO COVER ITS ILL GOTTEN INTEREST ON FALSE DEBT.

We MUST take back our right to print our own money DEBT FREE and back it with gold. That is the only way to ensure a stable dollar and in turn, a stable economy. Only then will we be impervious to predatory bankers who stalk the planet looking for currency to devalue in order to steal the wealth of the planet's people.

Answer 8

Rugged individualism. Everything is about "rights" and trying to have it all.
Very few people know how to go without.
Not move for money.
Live with their ailing parents, etc.
Or jsut give up on the 25 medications and stop prolonging the inevitable.
Why are we so crowded?
Because we don't know when enough is enough.
We don't know that five pair of black shoes per woman is good enough for any and all occasions.
We don't know that kids can wear hand-me-downs without feelign horrible, like in some European countries.
Crap, we're saving landfills when we do that, but Americans just want to be better than the Joneses.
Oh, please.

Answer 9

Illegal Immigration, because they are a dreg on society. They don't pay any taxes, YET they get benefits. And the libs want to let Illegals that have NEVER paid into Social Security, draw from that as well.

Answer 10

War on our own soil. Because we elect pacifists and because we elect people whose only motive is their own self-satisfaction, power, greed. Because our morality has deroded drastically and because we have adamently tried to rid the Country of our Creator who established and blessed us so abundantly.

We are allowing the ACLU to form a new foundation of the great USA. Kingdoms and Empires greater and older that the U.S. have fallen so why would we think we are immune if we forfeit our values.
