Does anyone else think that there is something terribly wrong with this country (USA)?

Question

This is a broad question yes, but i want to hear what everyone else thinks.

We have an extremely corrupt central government where money gets you everything regardless of if you are a good person or not.

We have ally ties with Saddam and Osama, but when they decide to take the reigns and disobey us we go after them and make them terrorists.

We are very censored as a nation.

The constitution is not being followed as it was originally intended, we rarely have any of our original Rights.

It is actually an EXTREMELY believable conspiracy that our government is responsible for 9/11, as well as other terrosit attacks against the US (Okla. city bombing)

It's extremely difficult for us to fly, period because of terrorist attacks and we weren't even allowed to bring water bottles, etc, if terrorist were smart (which they are) they wouldn't hit the same place twice.

Slowly i think america is turning facist and i just wanted to hear your thoughts on my opinion

Answer 1

What's wrong with this country is the attitude of its people. The United States used to be defined by its people. But we've gotten spoiled, and adopted a sense of entitlement, like the world owes us something. We are not the United States of America that the founders intended.

Answer 2

Facist? We are far from it.
Relative to other countries, we're pretty well off. We have the most powerful economy, military and influence in the world.

Is the central government really corrupt? I'd say our administration has been very stupid, but is the government itself corrupt? Have our democratic roots really been malicious to the nation as a whole?

Money will always get you everything, that's an axiom for a capitalism.

We are hardly censored. As a country that promotes free speech we are allowed to express things far greater than other countries where youtube is banned, and petitioning against the government is illegal.

I'm not too sure how we don't have any of our rights....or if our constitution is interpreted the wrong ways...Examples?

I'd agree that the flight rules are utterly useless are annoying but what do you expect the administration to do? After so many terrorist plots they could've done nothing and we would've told them they were idle or done this and we would scream annoying.

Main point is, this country is heaven compared to the other countries out there. It's hardly fair to compare this country to Stalin's Soviet Union or Castro's Cuba.

Answer 3

The real problem comes down to not understanding the nature of government generally, and not understanding the US Constitution specifically.

All government is force. Doesn't matter if it's communist, capitalist, secular or relgious, government has nothing to work with except force.

That means that the real question is, how do we want the government to use that force, and what limits should be put on that use.

Reading the Constitution is simple. Something is either in there or its not, and if not, the Federal Gov't has no business doing it. That's not a rule I made up, it's in the Constitution.

It's not a complicated document. Anyone can read it and know what it says. The real question is whether one has the integrity to say "gee, I may wish that was in there, but the fact is, it's not" and stop whining to government to take away our freedom to pay for bribing us with our own money.

Answer 4

Broad indeed...and very leading in your questions.

A corrupt central government? Perhaps. That is one aspect that Federalism as originally constructed was to work against. The current strong nature of centralized government is mostly a Democrat Construct. They are violently against power in the states. To wit, the Department of Education, what exactly should be done regarding education at the *FEDERAL* level?

Money? Any lawmaker who is influenced by money ought to be impeached...but spending money to advance a cause is a right of the people...free speech and free assembly.

Ally ties with Saddam and Osama? You're nuts.

Very censored as a nation? Perhaps you can name a nation that is more free in it's tolerance of many many types of speech?

Perhaps you can offer examples of original rights lost. Please be sure to include each of the Bill of Rights.

Claiming our government responsible for 9/11 establishes you as a quack. Adding the Oklahoma City bombing...you're certifiable. *ALL* conspiracies in this regard offer only speculation, and use post hoc ergo propter hoc analysis...sheer lunacy.

You lament our restrictions in flying...that terrorists would not strike twice in the same place...but I thought you said the government was responsible?

Quickly, I think you have established yourself as a loon.

Answer 5

You are very right !! The lust for power by your governament has done a great damage to your general body , whether social, economical or even moral ! you see when a country makes some agenda of getting Monopoly beyond their borders even if it is a supper power, there are always more chances for loss....its like a gambling....and more chances are that of losing it..becuase you can cantrol the things out of your country but can not continue it for long and even this control cost you a lot..So i would say US war policies are basically responsible for this slow downfall of America(sorry but America is stepping down) ..if you recall USSR, they were even more powerful but when they attacked a country and even they did continue this war for 13 years..but the end was a compelte failure ! And that was total disaster for them too...while America is holding two countries at a time though with their allys but still.....war never do good to anyone..I m sure If US were sitting in their own country, concentrating their trade and all , they could have held this Superpower title for even longer but it is slipping out of their hands now !! I m not an American but even i don't feel good for this ! America was a country in power who could have lead this world in a proper direction because they had a power to do so, but unfortunately the country itself is doing much against peace and this is costing itself alot ! and i don't want to see it in power anymore...becuase it is dangerous to have it there..Sorry rude but true ! this is an impartial opinion of a non-american ! I can just say Good luck to you people and your country !

Answer 6

I am sure that if it were up to you; you would take our guns away.

We never had an alliance with bin Laden.
Our alliance with Saddam was to fight fundamentalists, once he became a fundamentalist he became a target.

No matter how often Rosie O'Donnell tells you that Bush planned and is responsible for 9/11 he is not. Have you ever known this government to keep a secret for 6 years. If it was to come out that Bush/Clinton was responsible for this there would be a lot more than just Rosie and Alex Jones saying so.

You can get water from the Flight staff and it is free. why buy your own for 2 to 3 dollars in the terminal.

Answer 7

The source of America's troubles is that its government is Zionist-occupied. Dual-citizen Israelis are allowed to hold high positions in our government, media and educational systems.

Unfortunately, these dual-citizen Israelis' allegiance lies with Israel and not the USA. Hence they will go to such extremes as to carry out the attacks on 9-11 and try to frame the Muslims for these attacks.

America is basically being used by Israel to conquer the Middle East so that Israel can steal the resources there.

The Federal Reserve is another Israeli scam that steals the wealth of the U.S. taxpayer.

Every source of problems America faces today is because of Israel and how it has weakened our government and our values in every way possible.

Answer 8

Its not the Country it is the people.. The Country doesn't make its people.. The People make the Country.. This is a great Country but we need honest dedicated people in politics and business and industry to roll up their sleeves and begin to solve the problems this Country is facing and neglecting for years by seeing no evil, hearing no evil, and speaking no evil.... There is much to do before we can begin to feel good about living in America again.....NO ONE WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN POVERTY.........America needs to be reborn and committed to the people who work and live in this Country...

Answer 9

Yes,and we need a president that is for the people,respects the constitution,and doesnt change laws just to help with the neocon agenda.Also an honest president that can relate with the peoples problems.And cares more about the wellbeing of the citizens, than big business and the stock market.

Answer 10

The country has its faults, I will grant. But you can bet it's the best the world has to offer in terms of fairness and prospects.

Ask yourself the following:

What do we really know about American foreign policy? What do we really know about the 911 attacks?

I'll tell you: We know precisely what the media tells us.

Conspiracy theorists seem content to question everything except the feeding tube.

Answer 11

Yes. Liberals and their hatred of American soldiers, their country, freedom, and our rights. They're the ones who want to change the Constitution, and Bill Of Rights, by taking away freedom of speech, for anyone but themselves, and take away the second amendment, the right to bare arms. They want government control of the people, and not the people controlling the government. Our forefathers wrote down, that the American people will always be allowed to bare arms, "to fight against tyranny and government." I will not let them take our rights away, or else we would be controlled. America is a free Nation, and as long as I am alive, it will stay that way!
