When did the US turn into an evil nation of torturing warmongers?

I remember knowing Americans were loud - in love with their guns and as little weird

They were the ones who would show up in July in a fur coat looking for Moose wandering the streets

But they were generally good people -- no one thought of them as evil -- or bad or even bad leaning ........ just different in a way most could dismiss as "Americans"

Now they are the torturers - they are the bullies who start baseless wars -- the liars - the evil ones ............. something reserved for other nations

When did the flip occur ? It has been in my lifetime but I am not sure exactly when it happened

When did the US turn into an evil nation of thugs tortures liars and warmongers ?

Update:

Maybe it has always been that way --- and the evil has just escalated to the point no one can ignore it

We were always disgusted by the slave trade you were so proud of

We were always knew you had more than you're fair share of Nazi sympathizers and could go either way at any time

We knew Pearl Harbor was a set up we knew the dropping of the atomic bombs were unnecessary but you did it anyway

---- Maybe Iraq was just the last straw in a long line of lies and evil acts - Most of the world can no longer ignore the fact America is an evil land of insane warmongers proud of their torturing goons

--------------

Maybe the question should read

When did the world wake up to what America really is --- an evil land of goons thugs crooks and blood thirsty warmongers - The worthless of the world

Update 2:

Speedfreak

Thanks for making my point for me

You offer compelling evidence that you have become worthless peoples

    Well, it was gradual. Step one was probably in the 20's when industrial giants started abusing citizenry and the US started to invade Latin American countries on behalf of the United Fruit Company. It expanded during the cold war with this crazy hate on for communists. It escalated more with Vietnam. Then GW Bush just plain started pissing on the world. Bush really took it up a big notch and its been hard to like the country ever since he arrived. It is fuelled of course by the Rush Limbaugh's of the world and add in a little game show stupidity to show how ignorant many Americans are of anything outside of their borders (Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?) and you get a clear emerging picture. It won't get any better. Obama is helping but he is also raising the ire of Neo Cons and their rhetoric just makes the country look worse.

    Bush began issues in Afghanistan - no longer Obama. Obama took a constrained place in Libya on the behest of the United international locations and the Libyan rebels. top now the loudest voices calling for a conflict with Iran are all Conservatives in Congress. additionally, the prospect isn't "extensive", whether you in all hazard detect it to be because you spend too lots time listening to FucksNews propaganda all day long. BTW - utilising that Avatar nevertheless makes all and sundry think of you're one among TeaTard Pedophiles who sodomizes little boys in the portajohns at Glenn Beck rallies.

    I'm all for torturing people who deserve it.

    Water boarding is too good for terrorists as is a blow torch to a child killers testicles.

    What would all the liberals do if their country was invaded by a hostile force. Would they cry for the torturers to protect them or would they just bend over and say let me have it?

    Uhm i think your refering to the elite. Americans are just misled.

    Since i remember the U.S has always been like that since the native americans and the blankets with small pox. Theres more profit in war than there is in peace my friend.

    They way i look at it is love everyone. Make the world a better place to live for everyone.

    Btw your kinda on the right track, you kinda went offroading on this subject. You can't call some one evil. theres no such thing as evil or good because everyone has different definition of the two words.

    Its not like we like war...many people hate it theres strikes going on all the time to stop it, we dont start wars for no reason. As of civilians with guns 95% of them have them for hunting or protection.

    You obviously do not know what torture is son. Give me my drill, wire cuters, vise grips, piano wire, and chain saw, and I will show you what real torture looks like dude. (on a dummy, of course)

    Not sure.

    Just read Jeremiah Dent's book.

    It was about his torture in Vietnam.

    Reagan called him a hero.

    He was.

    Too bad the new conservatives did not read it.

    I believe that a man who's only life mission is to kill as many people as possible no matter what deserves to have his fingers chopped off one at a time if that's what it takes to save said people. Cry me a river.
