What is wrong with America today?

1. Failure of ethical governance.\n2. Failing educational system.\n3. Declining moral climate.\n4. Economic considerations running people instead of people being the wise stewards of the economic system.\n5. Too much immigration without qualification.  Many now here do not at all believe in freedom of religion or other traditional American values; some even wish to overthrow or disable the nation.  Many of these are also engaged in lives of exploitation of the working populace and crimes.  The crimes run the gamut from violent to scams and frauds.  \n6. Limitless compensation for corporate executives.\n7. Increasing numbers of impoverished and street people, many of whom are not old and disabled; some of these now helping the drug and crime problems to grow further.\n8. Breakdown of the traditional family structure, the mainstay of all enduring nations.\n10. Misplaced priorities everywhere.  More could be said, but these are sufficient to constitute two steps backward for every one forward currently.\n\nOther nations are having much of the same, and it is still better here than most other places; but, we must ask: How much longer can we endure these ills?  Will enough people change to correct them?

People are sick of the way things are going... Everyones being affected by some of the things our governments done... Most not in a good way... People want change. Simple as that

This attitude comes from being a very large well develped country, which has progressively bred a disturbing level of arrogance.\n\nBasically, America is drunk on its own hype.

the american people have done it to themselves. as a whole we have lost our moral compass. then we complain when our "paid for" representatives behave the same way. we will never find our way with a relative compass thats different for evey one; only with one that points true can lead us. which requires us ask, what is truth?

On the wrong track for many reasons.  Politicians have become amoral, Americans have become complacent, people love to complain but do nothing,  a bit more than half the population votes, there is not equal representation, and I could go on for hours.  You get the point.

The worst thing you can do is ask a liberal anything!  They are consistently wrong about most issues.  It's as though they can't stand to see humans enjoy a common sense normal life. They are not happy unless some area of life is in constant agitation, from killing babies to robbing us of guns to protect ourselves. You'll just open a can of rotten worms. They are NOT true patriots of AMERICA.  They are part of a process that is quickly sending us down the toilet, including and especially the liberal press.

After 911 America said "OUCH" and Pres. Bush was forced to DO something to appease the outrage. \nTime has past and new people born. Lessons of the past have been forgotten and we have to keep learning things the HARD way.\n\nSo, whatever is bothering you, get over it. Toughen up and fight, fight, FIGHT!

nobody is taking over america .. but the classic america that our founding fathers gave us is being slowly eroded away because people are uninformed, ignorant, and braindead from endless hours of tv and media propaganda being pounded into them while corrupt govt officials cash in and pass laws to prevent you from being able to do anything about it when you finally wake up ....

Present America is like pre WWII Germany!\nYou just see they want any others to prosper. Because of their ongoing fookish decisions, whole world is suffering (e.g. hike in petrol price to $72/barrell!!! Is it not fact?)\n\nAmericans are enjoying their lavish life at the cost of world.\n\nThose who think otherwise, should re-assess their veiws & may modify their comments.

So, you're acknowledging that America needs to blame people such as yourself, then.\nAmerica is bad, as you say. Who's fault is it, that America is in the shape it's in?\nYour hero Lush Rim-Job is definitely complicit in how society is faring right now. \nOn the one hand, he denigrates liberal Democrats. On the other, he doesn't advocate a visionary on the Republican side who might be able to turn this country around.\nIn fact, the status quo serves his needs quite well. Both sides give him a bully-pulpit from which to sling his diatribes, while offering no real solutions.\n\nBut, then, all one has to do is check into Lush Rim-Job's sordid past; his attempts to hide, then downplay his addiction to prescription drugs, all the while calling others who were addicts the scum of society simply because he's rich & they're not.\n\nI blame those in our current government for how screwed-up things are right now, economically, socially, and morally.\nPeople like GW Bush cannot advocate for a moralistic society when he's complicit in political double-dealings with the Saudis, especially right after 9/11.\n\nAnd, I blame his current administration for lax security at our borders. I blame his current administration for not enforcing our immigration laws, especially right after Clinton's "look the other way" policies.\n\np.s. I've answered about your "cannibal dancers" in your question with the same title.\n\nYou've got some serious issues. Why don't you ask your Lush Rim-Job for solutions?  He can sure stir things up, but he surely doesn't offer any viable solutions.\nWell, what can we expect from a guy whose mind is muddled from those prescription drugs he abused over all those years.

Brother, Our freedoms have ended long back. Its a country where people with doubts and critical thoughts are labeled nut jobs and discounted. you know what I mean. It can only get worse unfortunately unless we actively do something about it.

Our Country is more divided that I have ever seen it. With the illegal immigration problem now, that divides us even more. The Republicans have instilled all the fear with their politics and methods. The people are growing farther apart everyday because of their party preferences. I am getting real sick of Republicans bashing and being cruel to Americans. It's way out of control, and they are teaching their children to hate people. I think it's really sick and dysfunctional behavior. It's pretty bad when you have a 12 year old saying your trash because you might have voted for President Clinton. It's happening on these pages, right here, everyday now.

America has a bad enough reputation, and if that Nazi takes over its going to get worse!!!\n\nit would just show how ridiculously stupid the American people are to vote a German steroid freek actor to be their president

I agree! It seems as though things in our government have gotten out of hand. I don't know if it would take a good president or the united states keeping our noses to ourselves. Its like we are trying to fix the world and we can't even fix ourselves. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks our America is in need of dire help. Good job for speaking out.

America has real problems and yes the undocumented WORKERS had become a scapegoat to the real problems which this country is facing :\n\n- the war on iraq : a war which seems to be eternal and meaningless . it is a fact that most iraquies do not like Americans or their precense in their country , they think that the only interest of Americans is their petrolium and just feel as stuck whit Americans like Americans feel whit them .\n\n- global warming : another huge issue which has been ignore by the bush administration and in fact has been atack as a real issue when every nation on the world knows it needs to be fix and that America is the main cause of this problem \n\n- the huge debt : one of the biggest problems and the one which will have the most lasting efects in America a country which bush recieved whit a record in money ( if anyone still wants to deny this i would like to remind u this is the reason why bush started to give money to his rich friends was the record money which he recieved , money which he did not produce ) and has rapidly become just another country where the richers is richer and the poor need to do as much as they can to survive .\n\nso are the immigrants the scape goat ? once again yes they are .
