Americans have become inured to the corruption and mediocrity.

Don't forget, American exceptionalism itself has been demonized.

AN OMINIOUS SIGNAL OF THINGS TO COME In April 2012, an Obama campaign website visciously slurred eight Romney donors. It tarred donor VanderSloot as a "wealthy individual" with a "less-than-reputable record." Other donors were described as being "on the wrong side of the law."

Here we see the jaundiced view of America held by Obomba and his coterie of haters.

It is an article of faith among these progressives and socialists that all of our laws, rules/regs, our institutions, etc, serve only to preserve the "status quo"---a system that advances those they see as "unworthy" at the expense of others.

The poor, the less successful, the less ambitious, the less talented----these losers are all "victims" of capitalism---therefore it must be destroyed.
