But the younger generation is more aware, they many not currently have money to push their voice, but they have social media where they are communicating. As they get past their 18-23 yrs of age, they will become more political involved and they will mobilize their forces to vanquish the ignorance of this Right Wing madness and the Republican Programming.

Republican have relegated us to a 2nd World Status nation, They allowed the infrastructure to deteriorates, and under their push and position in charge we saw the results of their actions, via bankrupt cities, devastate communities and blight spread across the nation. They support cheap building methodology, all in doing things cheap to feed the wealthy greed aims of the wealthy. They have gridlocked growth modeling in areas that they could. But we have today, more people in vocational and technical schools and they are also challenging and changing the greed based programming that Republican Agenda had infected university programming with.
Those things are being challenged by the youth. They also are following the money and the madness and tying it to Right Wing Political Agenda, and in doing so, they are preparing to dismantle all of it.


A little history to make a point
America has moved 30 yrs behind, with trade deficit that are criminal, republicans have done nothing to bring industry back, they have done nothing to manage quota's and they have done nothing to protect American industry. They have made no efforts to sanction companies that move offshore and think they can send their goods back here duty free.
We found out in 2008, that under the Republican Programming, Offshore hiding of money had reached into the Trillions of Dollars. All these things are part of the Republican acts that brought America down.
They shut down the government, failed to pass funding bills, and resulted to cost us higher interest rates, lower credit rating and insulted us as a people on the world stage.

There is not one High Speed Rail on the Lands of America. Republican agenda again, trying to get contracts lined up with 'cronies" who can bleed it dry and impose cost over-runs. Therefore the end result is no High Speed Rail.

The only Republican in the past 50 or so years who did anything meaningful in America, was Eisenhower, who pushed to expand our freeway system. Because he learned from War, that Infrastructure is critical to national security as well as national progress. But, Eisenhower was a moderate Republican, not one of the stuck in the past die-hards caught up in trying to re-fight the Civil War.



He did nothing to advance Civil Rights, nor did he do anything to publicly uphold the measures of Civil Rights legislation. but under the agenda of republican mentality and especially during this period of high racism and bigotry, he avoided it to focus on his other agenda.
I'm sure he knew that Civil Rights was an issue that was not going away, and he had to have known that at some point it was an issue that would take center stage. But he weighted that against his program strengthening aims. Which ultimately resulted to being all Americans, under the Kennedy Administration.

Eisenhower also warned Kennedy, to be well aware of the manipulations and powers of the Military-Industrial system. he knew their greed and their aims for generating conflict was a high agenda of this Industrial system of Military hardware and ammunition producers. Kennedy opposed Vietnam on a number of front, and certainly he was not going to be pushed to war, for the sake of profit seeking by the Military Industrial System. Unfortunately, Johnson succumbed to this Industrial System and went to war with no agenda, and no program other than the expansion of military hardware being bought and transported to this area. We all know the end result of that.

Now back to current day. Europe is struggling Financially, but they are very well ahead of us in the design of their facility and how they approach things. They will ultimately take a lead to show us how to take back industry and push for a balance in Trading Reforms. This is a critical component being discussed in the European Union these very days. We as American first will need to dispense with the Republican led craziness, and we will again become a nations that can truly lead.

Republican have done all they can to try and weaken the Office of the President of the United States, for no other reasons than racism. They can't stand seeing a black man in office, and their vile is so deep they have not a second thought of insulting the Office of the President of the United States, on a global platform by any and every act of attack and vile they can imagine to engage. IF this was any other country, they'd have probably lined Republican Leadership and Maybe the Whole bonded gang up in front of a firing squad, based on the way they have conspired together to insult the highest office in the ways they have and continue to do.
Seriously?

After 1 and a half terms with a Dem majority and the people have soundly rejected all you just said.

A Big Mac also costs $7.80 in Norway.

I have yet to see a liberal comparing the US negatively with any country with a lower percentage of white boys.

I may retire in my wife's native land where the girls are prettier and the beer is a hell of a lot cheaper.

You want to compare a postage stamp size country to the entire US? If America wasn't suffering from liberal cancer it would be an even better country.

Good for you, I hope you stay there. I doubt the crime, poverty or violence rate there is any lower than it is where I live in the US but it probably is lower than whatever liberal urban cesspool you moved away from.

Brussels doesn't sound like much
Why are the exceptionally high crime rates in Brussels seen as inevitable? : belgium

But boy crime sure is rampant where I live, it's hardly safe to step out the door...or wait, it's not.:
Murders (per 100,000) 0 (0.0)
Rapes (per 100,000) 0 (0.0)
Robberies (per 100,000) 0 (0.0)
Assaults (per 100,000) 1 (14.5)
Burglaries (per 100,000) 11 (159.5)
Thefts (per 100,000) 38 (551.1)

Crime Rate 39.9
US Crime Rate 298.9

Brussels is the money pit where the rest of Europe's taxes go, of course there is a high standard of living.

Dense population is not good. It has negative impacts on our mental health. Do a little searching on the net if you doubt me.

Europe has been responsible for two world wars in a century and millions of unnecessary deaths and untold misery. I have trouble taking a claim they are superior seriously.

I lived there in the 80's and never suspected it to be true. Secretly or otherwise.
