Went to Rome a few years ago, was not impressed.
Been there...done that....toga’s in the wash.
Is there a conservative anywhere in sight?
I didn’t think so.
"....and that is why America needs Amnesty for Illegals."
Verge of collapse? Rome collapsed 1700 years ago.
Then again, we are going to be in similar circumstances if we don't make drastic changes soon.
At least the Christians aren’t demanding the Colisseum be torn down for past atrocities ...
The Eternal City is facing crisis, with its administration engulfed in corruption scandals and debt, its roads scarred by potholes, the main airport partially closed, and a growing immigration crisis.
...
Corrupt politicians love their illegal aliens, not just in America.
I am surprised that Italy is in such shape. Not a hint of corruption or other criminal activity there before..... bada bing. They could raise some money by having pay per view gladiator fights.
Poor Rome.
Went a few months ago.
True there was trash but there was a metro that ran on time. A lot of the graffitti in the city center had been cleaned up. The selfie stick sellers were a plague but it was free enterprise of a sort. The people that worked did so with professionalism and officiousness. We were always treated courteously from the guy selling water to anyone else we dealt with....a huge difference from the surly fast foodians who barely look up from their cell phones to take your order.
We did NOT venture out of the touristy zone because that is what we went to see.
Italy cannot long last as the north supporting the south, starting at Rome.
Sad to see socialism so starkly failing here, in Greece, in Spain...won’t be long the rest of the EU will crack and break.
Us too, I am afraid. We refuse to take notes.
Obama: “If you support my Global Warming Tax, I will make sure illegals get into the USA which will add $$$ into your donation bucket on Sundays.”
Those in higher levels of foreign local governments and foreign government-connected businesses use the Internet to get information and come to the USA.
Others take their places, use the Internet more, then come to the USA.
Then others take their places and soon come to the USA.
You’re getting the most corrupt people from many countries, and you’re getting more of them each year.
They know the next few steps to taking over the USA, too. People from some countries (like Italy) have known these steps for a few decades. People in even more backwards countries have only recently found out.
Get a degree.
Get a government job, a job in corporate management, or become a politician.
There are no professionals. They only learn enough to get into positions. There’s no ingenuity. Corruption is the way.
They aren’t Americans. They don’t want to be Americans. They were already more equal animals, like those who prefer their kind for immigration (their kind: the richer ones in the old country instead of those who only wanted to be Americans).
The first national American step toward this destruction: destruction of the technical trades. Real Americans (WASPs) were deposed by those who were not long descended from Europe, simply obtained degrees and climbed right into management positions.
The second and final step: well, you’re seeing it.
The first part of a solution would be an absolute default, stopping enforcements of regulations against new, small, rural manufacturing starts by WASPs (not necessarily all Protestants, but those with such moral and cultural heritage). Otherwise, forever wallow in the miseries of this newly ruined foreign nation: the USA.
This was not Germany, Italy, Russia, Africa, South America, India or whatever other places the more influential of the foreign hordes are coming from. It was America, as in the USA.
Educate yourselves. Find that morality. Find that ingenuity. Study. Study on your own without the mind poisons of contemporary universities. The answer is to learn, and don’t stop. Do it the rest of your lives. Build something. Make something. Study military strategies.
