First of all, GrassRoot, President Bush is not a dictator. Look up the definition. He is not a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control and quite frankly, throwing that word around in an attempt to vilify our President is contributing to the decline in status that Eternal is describing. Chavez was just handed a dictatorship. The two most notable dictators of today are Fidel Castro and Kim Jong ll. There is no comparison between these men and our President. Intentionally repeating misleading and *untrue* statements is doing nothing to help the situation. What positive impact is making comments like that having? And... if you in fact do live in Michigan he is your President as well.Eternal, I believe the reason our country has remained strong throughout our history is because of the people. Other than the blip in time during the Vietnam War and *now*, the people held onto a fundamental belief that we had a clear responsibility to unite behind a righteous cause. That does not mean that we viewed ourselves as self-righteous but that our country would always do what was presumed to be moral and fair to all. For the most part it was a correct presumption. The world saw this and respected what we stood for. Not all countries may have liked what they saw but they respected it. There is probably one phrase that stands out as being the most factual as any phrase that you have ever seen tossed about. 'United We Stand, Divided We Fall'. We are divided now. I don't want to point fingers because there is enough "blame" to go around for everyone to share. there is another little used phrase that comes to mind, 'Anytime you point your finger at someone else there are three more pointed back at you'. Get my point? The fact is, there isn't a country on this Earth that could take down the United States. We can and are doing it to ourselves. I believe as you mentioned, we are on the path to imploding and it is for purely selfish reasons. The left sees the world one way and the right can not fathom living a life any way but in a traditional way. Tradition is changing and at such a pace that unity, respect and sanctity are the casualities of it all. You mentioned the word "overthrow". To some that word looks like a good idea. I guess I have to wonder at what price?What price is worth our selfish desires? Is it the country as a whole?
