The situation we are in is bigger than two-party politics. In fact, I see very little difference between the donkeys and elephants nowadays. The republicans seem to want a little less of anything the dems want.

A little less abortion, a little less spending, a little less environmentalistic frenzy, a little less government control....yada, yada, yada.

This situation was conceived in the idea that we Americans "deserve" certain things.

That we deserve the newest cars, a second home, multiple credit cards and name brand everything. This attitude infects us to the core. It has poisoned the very heart of our government.

For gosh sake, what was GW's advice to American's after 911? What did he think would defeat terrorism? Spend! Spending!

You were unpatriotic if you weren't spending.
I voted for GW because I thought he was the lessor of two evils...Study the fall of Rome and no matter which vision you read about how they fell, you will see America.

Corruption in politics...check
Immoral society...check
Invading foreigners...check

In fact it's funny that one of Rome's down-falls was that they took in a poor neighbor as cheap labor and they eventually rose up against the Romans.

Rome was enthralled with the warrior mentality too. They loved their wars. They loved their war games...they loved their violence.

They were a pagan society driven by non-Christian ideals.

The worshiped men as gods. They idolized men.
