Our system is totally flawed. Too many laws......Too many law suits and we the people need to take our country back. Before it's too late, it probably already is.

The Chinese are not helping us either and niether is anyone else for that matter.

The American people are being sold out..plain and simple. We are deep in debt and our system is saying that's good and prosperity just gets better, which is built on a quick sand type foundation.

Our military is getting weaker and our so called overseas trading partners friends are building strong troops and weaponry. What do they plan to do with their acquired technology and nuclear capabilities that was given to them by us.

What will it take before we finally awaken and realize we have been robbed.

Can this country survive any more damage by our leaders that keep up the smoke and mirrors.

The only cure I see is a revolution of some sort and over throw our current system to take back our freedoms and country.

But before this happens the people of this country are going to have to face a very large crisis to act accordingly.

Seems to be unfortunate, but in the long run we can go back to a more stable, peaceful society.

If only we could figure out how to build strong troops like our overseas trading partners have. I wonder how they did it? DNA modification perhaps? Or, might it be some sort of commie brainwashing thing? Alas, all we have to rely on is our regular old American boys, weak sisters that they are. The world is surely going to hell. Well, except for the IRS, which seems to have figured out the "strong troops" thing.

>> Our military is getting weaker and our so called overseas trading partners friends are building strong troops and weaponry. <<

The USA military establishment is, in terms of raw troop numbers, either 2 or 3 in the world. In terms of advanced high tech weaponry and nuclear/biological/chemical weapons we are #1 without a doubt. In terms of military spending per capita, we are the untouched leader of the world.

If anything, we have such a large military establishment that we can scarcely afford it, in spite of our having the premier economic engine of the world.

It isn't weakness that is our shortcoming, it is the purposes to which our strength is put. The USA operates on the trickle-down theory, that if the Fortune 500 prospers, the American people prosper. Therefore, the entire power of our government is narrowly dedicated to improving the profits of Fortune 500 companies.

To object to this state of affairs renders one a socialist and an outcast. Or a conspiracy nut.
