when being politically correct became the law of the land, we were pretty much headed to the shitta.

by electing a President who never had a real job and talked like Jethro Bodine.

Ane never finished anything and expected his mommie to always bail him out.

We were a joke before him. I'm not going to say George W. Bush is completely cleared of any wrong doing, because the man did screw a good bit up. But blaming every problem on him, even almost a year into our current president's first term, is getting really old. I could give Obama about the first 6 months, but past that, it just becomes a cop-out to continue pinning almost every problem on Bush. Before Reagan, there was Ford and Carter, respectively... And you never heard Reagan constantly excuse his mistakes by blaming either of them.

Moving on though, our country started it's decline after WW2 when things such as nationalism, European pride, truly treating a war as war and actually fighting a war to win, thereby exposing our troops to as little risk as possible; were all of a sudden considered evil because Hitler did it.... And because Hitler did it... It's evil... Regardless of it's benefits or if we already did/used it before him ( the Charlie Chaplain mustache, the Bellamy Salute and the svástika, just to name a few more things).

As time went on, our country REALLY became a joke after the Cold War and continues to be an even bigger one under our current president's administration. Political Correctness has been taken to such an extreme in the West, that all logic and common sense is overridden by what people tell us we must do, regardless of the negative consequences; While demanding we disregard what we truly should do. Because if we don't, then we'll be labeled Nazis, racists or worse. And this policy will inevitably lead to the downfall of this country.

If you, as a human, ignore your basic needs and allow yourself to progressively wither away, you'll eventually die. And that's exactly what's happening to our country. We're destroying the basic foundations that make a strong, prosperous country and because of this, we'll continue to wither away more and more until we eventually die... And the rest of the world see this and laughs their asses off at our stupidity! it's quite shameful, really...
