"Then after that he gave China missile rocket and guidance technology to nuke us.
These things are the true Clinton Legacy."
Sadly more than 2/3's of the country don't know about any of that or want to know. That is the real shame of Clinton and his "legacy".
It was so convoluted that most citizens did not want to spend the minimal time to know what he was doing in office and what we now know he did. They don't care.
Rome did not go away in one day, event, because of one leader, or at any one point in time. The citizens just stopped being citizens of Rome.. basically over several centuries they stopped caring or believing their caring as citizens mattered.
Each successive challenge or situations (political, financial, military, immigration, geological, intellectual, etc) just took minor bites of the empires ability to respond as successfully (as they did at their zenith).
Outsiders stepped in and took pieces of what they thought they could use or plunder. Little by little it was gone. The civilization, the public works, the government, the art and architecture... piece by piece was gone.
Looking at it from our perspective now no one really conquered them.. It happened a little at a time. Then gradually was gone.
I sometimes fear that is what we risk.
Little by little until the U.S. as we as we know it is gone.

You can say the same exact thing about Vietnam. We won every battle, but our enemies from within had our people lose their desire to win, and the leaders decided to retreat, leaving Vietnam to the communist for no good reason.
We've had some cancers from within this country for some time (all on the left). It is most interesting that we refer to terrorist as CELLS.
We have the most potential in the world, but we have a number of people who have gotten fat and lazy and I believe this reversal of greatness started after our greatest generations of WW2.
The Clinton's without the hippie generations, could never have gotten power like they did.
We also see God being torn out of anything in public by laws, a sign of perhaps the end of good times. We shall see how it goes, but I wish us the best...
