Politics - United States
Do you agree with the statement: 'America is no longer what it could be, what it once was' ?
"When presidential candidates answer questions from children about why they want the job, most will give an answer that uplifts the child and the candidate. Not Barack Obama. At a campaign stop in Elkhart, Indiana, a seven-year-old girl asked the Democrat why he wants to be President — and he told her that America has gone downhill"http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/07/obama-america-is-no-lon...

Maybe next time he just say he give up hope little girl and hand her a joint and a welfare check.
It really stinks that that was his lame answer to anyone let alone a child! Was that supposed to be Hope or Change? I would think if he wanted to give hope and show change he would have told her that he loves his country and wants to help it become stronger and greater. -

George W bush is the reason why. He took my country away from me and ruined what we used to have. My wife and I had intended to take a trip to Europe but we are going to wait until Mr Bush is FINALLY out of office. If Obama gets elected, and he probably will be, I think he will be able to start restoring us to what we were (and should be). -

Way to build up the confidence of our next generation B O Bama! This country is still great. Thje international community will come around. We have done what we said we would do after 9-11...go after the evil-dooers. George has done the dirty work that all of congress approved of at the time. We will overcome. we always have and we will this time as well. -

I think this country is awesome, I think the only problem is comments like this, hate speech against ones own country. It is not speaking out, it is whining and complaining if you have no ideas on how to make it better. Put up or shut up Obama! -

This country was "founded" exactly the way we still do things. We take what we want from whomever we want in whatever manner we see fit not caring about who dies or suffers. Please stop all the patriotic bullshit about the morals of the building of this country, there were none. If you don't believe me ask the ancestors of the over 100,000,000 (that's over one hundred million) people we murderd after Europeans arrived......
Little girs don't suck. But the people running America, who are supposed to be you and me, suck. -

America hasnt gone downhill, some of its people have gone downhill. Instant satisfaction, 15 minutes of fame, etc..
We have a man running for president who seems to RUN down America every freaking chance he gets.
Maybe some of you should ask the SERVICE men and women who are fighting so far from home what they think of their country. They are problably praying, and hoping they see her again... -

Imperialism without the consent or will of the people is not government. Rap and Hip Hop is not music. Reality shows are not entertainment. And the US is not nearly what it used to be in the 70s and 80s. In fact, we are like a Western Rome before the fall. And that observation has more to do with the ability to recognize facts and reality than it has to do with hating. -

America he's bad for our country and he's bad for our children. Turn your backs on him and side with McCain. -

Se these are answers i don't like! This is how American's now have to make their choices, at the extrem! What if i do agree, and at the same time, which i do, still love this country and glad i was born here? Where is that answer? People are now WAY to the right, blinded to where they need improvement. The rest of the people are WAY to the left, agian blinded to where they need improvement. and SHIT! if either would sit down and talk to the other, sorry, LISTEN to another. Then America can once again be the undisputed champion of the world. I like Europe, i think they are good people. But they are at their best now we are at our worse and they smile thinking they "might" be better than us. America we got to step aside our differences and listen to one another!
Back in the Greek days, they finally came to a point where they reliezed they didn't know everything, well they knew nothing and they noticed that. They saw their "verbal discussions", agruments, were not to find the facts, but to prove that "I" was right. They care shit about the truth. They noticed it and took a step back to correct that. Thats what i believe America needs to do. -

America sucks because we have a bunch of whiney little spoiled brats that scream and cry and rant and rave every time they think something isn't fair. They just don't understand that sometimes you need to give a kid good spanking to get their attention for a minute so you can deviate their thought process away from their self centeredness and explain why things don't seem fair. On the other hand; this country RULES!!! You sure can't get away with doing some of the crap that's done here in other countries, i.e. be a homo or a lesbo in some middle eastern countries, they kill people who dabble in sexual perversion such as it is.We have more freedoms and rights in this country than just about any other country in the world. Who would have thought that any one as incompatant as barack hussein osama, I'm sorry, obama, could have been considered as a presidential candidate knowing that he hangs out with known terrorists. I guess it's because he works well as a puppet for the liberal dems. -

I don't hate my country, but the U.S. is not what it once was, not as great as it once was, and is in decline. The Greatest Generation was apparently the pinnacle. We have desecrated their legacy, and I suspect it will never be recovered. -

Both of these people hate this Country, America is the way it is because we have gotten too laid back about everything...The Country is as Wonderful as it has always been, we just need to start making our Voices heard to the Politicians that are full of themselves and no longer listen to their Constituents wishes... We have to demand certain things from them and remind them that we put them in and we can take them out, by elections of course... I believe that if OBAMA gets elected that what he says is downhill will be an Avalanche with us at the bottom, not OBAMA, just the American PEOPLE... He is a Dictator and doesn't think any of us have a brain and if you DEMS keep following the Pied Piper you'll run off the cliff while he laughs...
