Americans have not forgotten that they are Americans but a huge majority voted for a man and administration that does not share the same dream. The “Great Unifier” has turned out to be the “Great Divider” and “Great Destroyer” of the country he supposedly represents...of course those of us who voted against the man-child tried to warn the nation.

While negotiating with the Soviet Union, U.S. administrations of all stripes felt certain of the moral superiority of their political system over the Soviet one. They felt they were speaking in the name of their people and the free world as a whole, while the leaders of the Soviet regime could speak for no one but themselves and the declining number of true believers still loyal to their ideology.

But in today’s postmodern world, when asserting the superiority of liberal democracy over other regimes seems like the quaint relic of a colonialist past, even the United States appears to have lost the courage of its convictions.

It's true, when we dealt with Russia, it was always intense, deep, substantive, and the media treated it as so, and that includes the varying levels and successes of various presidents, the constant was that our efforts to deal with Russia were always treated as important and top news.
But now.....

I don't have TV so I'm not confident in my observations about what people are learning about Iran and current threats, including Russia, but I get the impression that they are barely covered as strategic threats.

How can the voters know who to vote against, and who to vote for? We don't even know that we have enemies, and much less, that they have names and a location on maps, and are countries.

When did America forget that it’s America?

When a supposed majority of Americans were stupid enough
to elect a guy named Barack Hussein Obama . Twice !
And when others were stupid enough to not vote for anyone opposing him because the alternative candidate did not fully suit their rigid ideological requirements , ensuring another Obama victory , leading to the present liberal leftist cesspit conditions

It came with the rise of the neolib.

One can only hope that the leftist punks in Obamatown have to listen to this voice of coherent logic.

It started in the schools and colleges in the 1950s when the liberal elites in the educational establishment and courts started attacking morning prayers and the pledge of allegience, then it vomited itself all over society via political correctness.

Easy question...When people started to think they were either above everyone else and became self-centered and greedy like actors and politicians and corny corporations or that people would be thinking they could rely on others instead of being self reliant and began complaining about everything like kids. So we have a nation of people who are lazy or greedy.

Two main reasons IMO.
God is keeping his promises to those who curse Israel.
This nation has in large way turned from God.
