No longer can claim to have tallest building in the world.
I do believe this is true. Isn't the tallest building in the world currently in Malaysia? The Petronas towers, as I recall.

Weak military. Even this day Russians will kick your ass man to man.
I can't believe our military is as strong today as it was before the Clintoon took over the White House. However, I do believe we are still by far the strongest military in the world. We certainly do spend enough money on it.

Manufacturing? A joke. NAFTA has done this for you.
How much manufacturing is left in America? I heard one "talking head" on the financial channels once comment in passing about "how nothing is manufactured in America anymore", as if it were a good thing. So this is pretty much true from what I can tell.

Not free at all. Your drivers paper is your national identity and you can't even know it yet. Ha, you don't even smoke in your restaurants.
Not all states are California or New York. Some states allow smoking in restaurants. Still, a grain of truth here. I'm afraid that the part about the national I.D. is becoming true.

Guns. They will be taken away and you have no way to fight it.
Wrongo on that one. The whole gun issue is about one whisker away from becoming the new "third rail" of American politics. The Democrats have realized that their image of being rampant gun grabbers has cost them dearly, and cost Gore the election by costing him his home state. Politicians are dumb but not stupid, they don't want to lose elections.

Infiltrated by everyone in the world and your leaders do nothing. Those who want to get in will do so.
When you're right you're right. Our borders are wide open to the world, big business wants it that way and so do the Democrats. Our borders have become a worldwide joke, since there is no real penalty for violating our immigration laws. In fact, we fall over ourselves giving free goodies to those who have broken our laws to be here. We have reliquinshed our right to exist as a nation. Would you have any respect for a guy who not only allowed people to break into his house and steal from him, but who actually gave them extra goodies as well? Well, that's pretty much how the world sees us nowadays.

Lazy and fat watching TV no time to see about the world around you.
Too true for too many. Res ipsa loquator.

Women do not respect your men. All women around world think American men are for the taking.
Again, too, too true. American men are one step away from being legally declared "livestock", with all of the associated rights and privileges therein. Spend one day in family court to see what I mean.

Hate to say it, but there is a fair amount of truth to what this guy has to say. The big question now is, what are we going to do about it?

These towers win on a technicality--their antennas. The Sears Towers still has the highest inhabitable floor.

Everything else I can't argue about. What are we gonna do about it? Well.....maybe ethnic/Leftist cleansing? LOL!

Even mentioning the only solution that will actually work, would get us prosecuted under the Patriot act.

The cynic in me says justshutupandtakeit.
I figured I had better flag you justshutupandtakeit, JIC, or be accused of poor Netiquette.

I agree, Billy bob. He does speak some truth here. We're a fat and out of shape nation (three days at an outdoor antique show recently confirmed that to me, watching these people run to and fro looking for bargains), we're losing our manufacturing to other nations which is a crime in my books. All these good paying jobs in New York State are making way for tourism. HAH. Low paying tourism jobs are a joke. Syracuse used to have tons of good manufacturing jobs. Now, hardly anything. Such a shame. If Pataki and our congresscritters want to do some good, bring back manufacturing jobs and quit sending our companies to Mexico and other countries because of cheap labor. Bahh, Humbug!
