14. No, America isn't suffering from PTSD, at least not the America I know
Americans started waking up two-three years ago, looked around and realized what had been wrought. That's one of the reasons there was a huge surge for Dems in the 2006 election. The trouble is that once again the Dems are complacent in the shredding of our Constitution, government and country, and frankly I think that the reason that they're not opposing this ongoing destruction of the Constitution is because they think that now they'll have the chance to play with all those new, unconstitutional powers.

Frankly what is becoming more and more obvious to more and more people is that Nader's description of the two parties, not a dime's worth of difference, is sadly becoming our reality.

We're operating under the two party/same corporate master system of government, and frankly that won't change until we take corporate money out of politics via publicly funded elections. Until then, the Dems and 'Pugs will continue to play good cop/bad cop with the American people, all the while both parties continue to sell our country down the river.
