THe US Reputation

It has been reported in today's USA Today issue that the US is losing its reputation across the world. They no longer see the US as a transparent society, they see it as not an open society, but rather becoming closed one. And most of all the economic outlook is becoming extremely poor.

I watched a few morning shows and they were reporting on this story, but most of the host did the same thing--they wrapped themselves in the flag and indignity. Such moronic stuff as, "I hope one day to wake up and the US is as free as China". A stupid comment. An arrogant comment! How dare the world not think that America is the best!, was their attitude. No one really talked about what was causing this lack of confidence in the US. WHY?

America's decline has nothing to do with a moronic president or a lame war fought on lies and deception and a Congress that cannot do anything but what the President wants. None of that could possibly be the cause of the lack of respect for the US, huh?

A typical "red-neck" way of looking at the world. The US is always right and no matter how many rights its people lose it will always be right. That is bullsh*t and they know it!
