Mustang that was one hell of a piece! Thank you sir. I don't have quite your level of pessimism, but you did make your case rather well.

Thank you, Morgan.
One of the reasons I write is because I think our government is asleep at the switch. It was true before 10 September 2001, and it's true now. And part of that has to do with the fact that the American people are asleep as well. We deserve who we elect, or so the saying goes.
We keep electing politicians who refuse to confront important issues, such as immigration ... and they ignore it because as socialists, they seek a one-world utopia for the future. Obviously, I do not agree and for those who think I'm drinking kool aid, explain the EU.
If we want to save America, we first have to value what America stands for. Hint: it isn't communism. If we want to save America, then we need a better educated society, politicians who love America more than they love power, and we need people who love America enough to stand up and fight for her.
Again, thank you for your kind words.

I think you give them too much credit, making most of these BIG government types sound lazy or negligent. In my opinion they're FAR more malevolent. Every time these bastards create some new government program for "the middle class" or the "less fortunate" they're not just buying votes, they're consolidating power and slowly enslaving more Americans to the all-powerful state.
Even some Republicans who enter D.C. as "moderates" go native and start a headlong rush towards consolidating their power. One of the tragedies of the upcoming Presidential elections is that it's SO DAMNED IMPORTANT! Outside of national defense, almost ALL of our governance should be done at the local level. Now some of the silliest garbage comes out of the US House and Senate. We can thank Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Teddy Roosevelt for that...
We ARE winning some small battles though, all is not lost. I'm active with an incredible bunch of guys here in NE FL called Americans For Prosperity. We've had some amazing success killing tax hikes and rolling back state government. Global Warming fraud is a BIG issue we're working on now, and we even flew a hot air balloon over Algore's TN property a months ago! We're winning battles on a number of fronts.
Keep your chin up sir! Semper Fi!

Finally got around to reading Mustang's generally good overview. I agree that the "nastiness" has been part and parcel of American politics since the First Continental Congress at least and probably before. The Founders were rarely in perfect accord about much of anything, and the newspapers from colonial and Federal times were as full of rudeness and rancor as anything seen today.
Adams and jefferson said horrible things about each other in print and played all sorts of dirty tricks trying to gain and hold advantage over one another.
The hideous stuff between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr is well known. Sallie Hemings and was used a political football even in Jefferson's own time. So was Sally Fairfax, who is supposed to have been the one true love of George Washington's life. Plain, dumpy little Martha Dandridge Custis was really the catalyst used to cement a large land deal. George and Martha were never known to enjoy a love match.
Lincoln was a far more complex, far more sophisticated and far less idealistic figure than the official version we've had handed down to us by the mythmakers.
There is nothing new under the sun, EXCEPT for the ideals spelt out in our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and even that owed much to English philosopher John Locke, the agnostic reprobate folk philosopher Thomas Paine, the Frenchmen Rousseau, Voltaire and Swiss philosopher Emerich Vatel.
The History of Mankind shows that in every era the same old battles must be fought anew. Only the style and weaponry changes.

PS: The threat of Marxist Collectivism and the desire to end free market Capitalism began with the exigencies brought on by the Industrial Revolution.
The harsh terms under which workers were forced to labor made a soil ripe for the seeds of unionism–––the precursor of socialism. The intellectual aggression of the early Marxists in Europe, Britain and here started well before the turn of the twentieth century, and were in full flower by the Advent of The New Deal–––America's official turn towards the Nanny State Socialism that plagues us today.
Marx, Engels, Gompers, Lenin, Trostsky, Freud, Gramsci, Lukacs, Adorno, Marcuse, The entire Frankfurt School, Kuhn, Goldman, Alinsky, Kunstler, Chomsky, Sontag, Zinn, "The New School for Social Research," etc. are names that should live in infamy, because they perverted fundamentally righteous causes and reshaped and retooled them for the primary purpose of instituting and saddling us with Marxism and a fundamentally atheistic, immoral, anti-Christian, anti-Capitalist, anti-Middle-Class, anti-Family, anti-Independence, anti-Individualist ethos–––and all in the names in the names of Fairness and Decency.
