the rest of what you said is utter nonsense and completely disproven by historical fact
That the United States became the leader of the world is hardly nonsense. When it began may be opinion but fighting a civil war to end slavery helped make this country more powerful and willful than any other.
From Lincoln's second inaugural address:
quote:
One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union, even by war

From Lincoln's second inaugural address:
It was the beginning of the end of this country as a world leader, the world power, the center of democracy. It's only a matter of time now. Once states' rights were taken away ... it has all led to this and, in all honesty and in the overall history of civilization ... we didn't last very long. What, a couple of hundred years maybe, at best?
This country is in a mess right now. Social welfare systems are overloaded and bankrupt. Illegal immigration is rampant. Fiat currency rules to the point where the middle class is being eviscerated, decimated, destroyed. Christianity is under siege. A socialist, really a communist, is garnering all the brainwashed white guilt millennial vote ... which is the most pathetic thing of all and is illustrated in this thread.
And now ... we're one step short of book burning. We're doing EXACTLY what the religious fanatics in Syria and Lybia are doing ... we're destroying old monuments that do not fit their narrative ... that they find, lulz, "offensive."
Next will come the book burnings. The the gulags.
Soon the Fed, with the blessings of the Federal government, will abolish currency and everything will be done electronically ... so that if you piss them off they can empty your bank account and take everything you have without having any rhyme or reason whatsoever - and the sheople people will duck their heads and look away in fear.
It all started with the Civil War.
Slaves were going to be freed ... it was already happening in the South. Modern machinery was taking over - there was no more need for it. Southerners were pissed that they were being taxed to death to build canals in New York and Federal Buildings in DC ... 7x the amount northern businesses were being taxed. For that matter Southern product had to go through northern ports and be taxed before being sent to England.
I could go on and on.

I don't disagree with this statement at all, but that is not what you said the first time.
