2. Values have been eroded such that people do not have the pride in personal achievement of prior times. People can live off the government and do not feel a stigma about it.This does not apply to the genuinely handicapped, of course

3. People have been seriously dumbed down. This relates to Number One, as the dumbing down is in relationship to the role of government and the lessons of history.

4. People have lost the moral compass to see right and wrong and to know that society cannot exist in an amoral setting. If there are no values by the populace( or dumbed down ones) there cannot be a democracy.
The people must have core values for a democracy to exist.

I may add more, later.

"America is great because America is good"

The trouble with leftists is that they don't believe either part of what De Tocqueville said.

Leftists don't believe America is great and leftists don't believe America is good. Leftists spend the majority of their time telling everyone how rotten America is. Not only that Ami but leftists attempt to trace America's "rottenness" all the way back to the founders of America.

According to leftists, America was never great and America was never good.

Yet, leftists won't emigrate away from the supposed den of sin and inequity known as America.

America is great because America is good
"A French philosopher who visited our shores when America was a new young nation left a similar warning. Alexis De Tocqueville said he came to the United States to learn what magic quality enabled a handful of people to defeat the mighty British Empire twice in 35 years. He looked for the greatness of America in her harbors and rivers, her fertile fields and boundless forests, mines and other natural resources. He studied America's schools, her Congress, and her matchless Constitution without comprehending America's power. Not, until he went into the churches of America and heard pulpits "aflame with righteousness" did he understand the secret of her genius and strength. De Tocqueville returned to France and wrote: "America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

TOTALLY, Jwhop.
I am having a death of hope. Even if Romney wins half of America has been dumbed down enough to WANT O'Bomber.

People are talking about the "binder" as if it is a meaningful topic. HOW STUPID!!! These idiots will never change.

The actual percentage of the something for nothing crowd is somewhere around 30% and the hard core leftists are about 12-14%. their numbers just get magnified by the drooling press idiots.

I know what Romney was trying to say but his mistake was generalizing because within that 47%..who pay no income taxes... he commented on are many..and I would say MOST people on social security who are fed up with O'Bomber and who will vote for Romney.

And, within that 47% are members of the US military who election after election break for Republicans. There's no reason to believe Romney won't get 60-65% of the military vote this time around too...if they get to vote.

I view O'Bomber as a temporary glitch in the operation of America that will soon be corrected.

If I'm right about this election then O'Bomber will have done us a very big favor by exposing Socialists and Socialism for the empty suits they are and "can't work" government system Socialism is.

And, if I'm right about this election then the American press may as well put a gun to their heads and pull the trigger. They've exposed themselves as political activists hiding behind the mask of journalism and even now, not many Americans believe their BS since their lying and cheerleading for O'Bomber is obvious.

This election may not even be close Ami..in spite of all the so called "pundits" prognostications.
