Yeah!!
As for the question "what happened to the US", the answer is the New World Order!!!!
The NWO financial elitists are the same guys who gave us the Bubble of the 1990s, and its resulting bust--Enron, Anderson, the declining stock markets,etc. It's time to restore both the integrity of our financial system, and our Republic!! We do not need to be the epicenter of the NWO empire!!!!
Of course, a non-NWO, republican America that values Western, Judeo-Christian culture will be hated by the islamic extremists even more. But you can't please everyone, least of all those evil creatures!!!!
If we refrain from interventionism and lead by example the outcome will be much better.
