That's too bad because you should think so.

Probably because they think America benefits from being an imperial power. BTW I find it funny that Americans are comfortable with calling the US a superpower but refuses it to call it an empire. A great power is essentially imperialist in nature as it has the ability to exert its power and influence over a global scale. There has never been a great power that has not been imperialist in nature. In fact you can argue that imperialism often precedes the attainment of great power status.

We won't be an imperial power for much longer.

Obama is creating havoc around the world, alienating every former ally and trashing our economy and currency.

It's all over but the crying.

So, on the one hand, Obama is an incompetent community organizer that should probably have taken up rapping as a career choice. On the other, he is the most devious, cunning human being to ever occupy the "Blight House" to covertly sabotage great White America. You guys really need to get your facts straight

Many Americans support out Imperial dreams because their jobs depend on military spending and many of the corporations they work for are totally dependent on government contracts. In addition many of our investors would rather cut a deal with a dictator than have to actually compete for business in our client states.

The main reason for any empire is profit for a few at great expense, including casualties in our military as well as countless deaths in the local populations, for the many. We are even fighting for the corporate investments of foreign companies such as BRITISH petroleum and the tyrannical Saudi Royals.

This will eventually, if it has not already, replace our Republic with a corrupt plutocracy.
