Reply #2: History will not be kind to the Bush II Era.

It will be labeled the Roman Holiday in America Period. Where laws are broken by government, where big business called all the shots and got so greedy that it would stop at nothing to get what it wanted, and when corruption in government was greater than at any other period in our nation's history.

And all the while, a weak Congress and right leaning Judicial Branch sat with their hands under their legs.

While all this was going on, America slept. Americans were too interested in buying foreign cars, rushing for cheap foreign crap at Wal-Mart, refinancing their homes to buy that new Suburban, getting cash advances from credit cards to fuel their desire to buy, buy, buy. And they were so in love with American Idol they let the crooks in Washington take their rights and liberties away from them without complaint.

Yes, I'm certain our ancestors who fought for this country, and gave their lives so we could enjoy freedom, are very unhappy with us right now. We've pissed it all away. Americans have become a very selfish people, most concerned only with themselves, and few willing to do anything about the problems until they are personally impacted by them.

Pretty pathetic. Is it any wonder things in America are the way they are today?
