We are the Roman Empire

I've often said it and only half meant it, America is the new Roman Empire. I have come to believe that there is more to that than I ever imagined. The Democrats are the Plebes, the Republicans are the Patricians and the empire is in turmoil. We have no tangible enemy, just some bearded boogie men that terrorize us form time to time. The lack of the a real enemy or serious struggle is forcing us to turn on ourselves. Television, fast food and stupidity are eroding the national character and destroying the American dream .

Just some anecdotal facts before I unleash my conclusion. Fact, 67% of people 20 and over are obese, 44million are functionally illiterate, 80% of people polled last year said they had not read a book for entertainment, the average American watches 6 hours of T.V. a day. I hope these facts are shocking.

America's days of dominance are numbered and it won't be a bearded dialysis patient that lives in a cave, Obama's 'socialist' plans, illegal immigrant, swine flu or the Chinese that are the cause. Much like Rome, the Republic will be torn to shreds by fat, stupid, lazy, mush brained from to much T.V. American citizen's. I hope I'm wrong.
