Fall of Rome

In another America, not so long ago, a President of this monumental ineptitude would have been run out of office faster than you can say 'Aaron Burr' three times. We no longer have an independent media willing to point out these faults but a cheering squad and and the 'dead hand' of a propoganda minister (David Axelrod now at NBC), and a populace that can no longer critically think or reflect on the achievements of their forebears or the challenges of the Age. We have outsourced out manufactury to China and foreign policy and space exploration to Russia.

As the floodgates of unskilled, non-English speakers are ready to deluge this land sapping precious resources with little contribution, and medical care about to take the next deliberate hit from our Dismal Dear Leader, we have crossed a Rubicon no great country can ever recover from.
