Will America Become America Again?
Let us get involved in this presidential election and rescue America from itself. Like any nation, America is a battle ground of the forces of good and evil both from within and from without. What America has to overcome at this crossroad is to recognize that contrary to what public is led to believe, America is self-destructing. Thomas Jefferson said it best, "An empire collapses more from within than from without."

The nation has become the target of internal extremists who were opposed to its foundation some 250 years ago. Armed with ignorance, arrogance and greed, and in short colonial mentality, the extremists have wreaked havoc on nation's infrastructure. They have managed to make a mockery of its Constitution, Bill of Rights and the American Ideals almost beyond recognition. Indeed, this grand betrayal could be called the undoing of the American Revolution.
The good news is that as Bill Clinton said, there is nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed with what is right with it." Alas, so many of us take for granted our privilege of participatory democracy that is one of the unique blessings of America.
Apathy with any excuse is a betrayal of not only our loyalty to America, but to freedom and democracy movement everywhere. It is as bad to be blind followers of one party without becoming fully informed about our domestic and global issues and call ourselves Americans. With such friends who deny America's decline, America needs no enemy. An Ethiopian saying state, "Those who hide their wounds will never find a cure."
Unfortunately McCain-Palin camp caters to apathetic and uniformed Public. Let us consider the emptiness of the strategy of this extremist camp in attacking Obama-Biden from the following perspectives:
While posing as anti religion and against IRI, the group praises Palin who thinks the Iraq War is God's plan, pronounces Iraq as Eye Rack. If you recall, George Bush called Iraq Eye Rack for four month into his presidency even though his father had bombed the country before him. We all know what disaster that ignorance brought us. It is most ridiculous to repeat the same mistake. It is an insult to the intelligence of millions of Americans who are fed up with the status quo.
This is the same woman who calls killings of thousands of Americans and Iraqis in a futile war a plan from God while claiming to be "pro-life" by opposing to abort even a defective fetus even to save the mother's life.
These two people pop
