I have given this a lot of thought. At times I think that we as a country are going to bit the big one. But then I step back and look at the really big picture. When England, and the others permitted us to sail off across the big pond and make our way in the new world. What the heck were they thinking? They were thinking what is it for us.
As the new world progressed they were still thinking what is in it for us? This became very evident when we had a few disagreements about taxation without representation etc. Then we actually had to make some purchases to get them off our land (Louisiana Purchase etc.) They still had an economical interest in the new world through commerce. (Tobacco etc.)
As the new world progresses we started spreading out ourselves and became the worlds protectors, and also started protecting those countries that once protected us. Now, the citizens of these countries also do business in the US on a daily, and those countries still depend on our commerce. The ties that are between the US and other countries are very deep.
That being said, in my opinion I feel that the US may look bad at times, she may stumble with some administrations, but I think our government will not collapse, because other nations, and the true US citizens will not permit this to happen.
I kid around a lot about red dawn, and yes I wonder like everyone else what if.
I may be naive and live in a dream world, but I still believe in a strong America.
And I still listen to Lynyrd Skinner for inspiration.

Before she falls there will be Hell... We need to start looking toword the upcoming elections and vote anyone out of office that will not stand up for our views.
