What has happened to America?

Has anyone in government heard the old axiom: "when things get tough, the tough get going"? Do these people have any sense of personal responsibility? Are they all just socialists, communists, or marxists? I don't recognize the country anymore. I hope we can stop it befor we lose it.

    I'm pretty sure that America, the good ol', God-fearing, gun-toting country that we all came to know, love, and serve, will prevail over any threat of socialism, Marxism, or clowns.

    Their sense of personal responsibility extends only to the ballot box and to the bank. They want votes, and lots of them, so they can get elected. They'll promise the voters anything to get those votes. While in office, they'll spend like there's no tomorrow just to get the votes. Figuratively speaking, maybe there really is no tomorrow. They're running a scam on us. These guys make the Big-Time Pimps look like a bunch of tightwads.

    Who knows how much money the politicians get "under the table" from special interest groups, lobbyists, big business, etc??

    Our grand kids will have to pay for these excesses.

    Easy living has spoiled most people many have not seen hard times .By hard times Im talking when there were no government hand outs it was work or starve of fend for yourself the best way you could.The people are soft and it shows social programs has changed the core of America to not wanting to try harder but to just cry louder.

    Most of the seven deadly sins has contributed to our present situation. Sloth, envy, gluttony, and wrath. Americans have become lazy but envy and want to gorge themselves on the things hardworking americans have and are angry when they are denied those things. So here comes BO promising to make others share the wealth they have worked hard to obtain. I hope we can stop Obama and his partners in crime also.

    Funny little saying don't help people who need health care but can't afford it:

    "Sorry you broke you leg. Limp to 7-11 and get yourself a retail job. Sock way your $8.00 per hour until you can afford to pay the ridiculously inflated medical bills."

    "The same thing that has happened to every failed state in history. The disregarding of property rights in favor of big government welfare."

    Right, look at this map.

    You can see all the failed states: Japan, China, Canada, All of Europe. And all the successful states: Mongolia, the African countries, most of the middle east, and a few central American hellholes.
