The problem with politics in America today is that the people living in America today are not even a thin shadow of the people that founded this country. Where the founding fathers were brave, and courageous we are meek and timid. Where the founder fathers were well read and intelligent, we are shallow and short sighted. Where the founding fathers were independent and self reliant we have been coddled, and grave attention thinking only of ourselves, and to hell with everyone else.
We as a people have forgotten the sacrifices made for our freedoms. We fail to recognize the importance of those freedoms and the cost of those freedoms. The fact is that we are stupid lazy children, spoiled brats, who are squandering that which was given to us at such a great cost.
We are gullible to the extreme, we want instant gratification and we aren't really willing to work for it. And anybody who says that they can give it to us is our new best friend.
And like many spoiled children I suspect things will not go well for us when we grow up and don't just get what we want by crying for it.
I'd like to close with a small quote from Benjamin Franklin:
"those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve niether"
