In reply to the discussion: I don't know how to explain my feelings about the USA without fueling accusations of anti Americanism [View all]Irish_Dem

There is a huge amount of money, intent, short and long term goals to damage the US

I agree that we have a lot of problems in this country, but many of them can be fixed with time and votes for Democrats.

Lots of judgement on this thread, Eyesore. Each person has their own destiny, their own path.
