Where are we headed?

Are the liberals and conservatives(read Democrats & Republicans) polarizing the US for a darker purpose? Why else would they attempt to drive this country into the ground, if not for personal reasons?

The way I see it, we are headed down a deep, dark path. Any student of history knows that democracy does not last. Judging by the apparent apathy of the American public, we are in the last stages of decline. But where exactly are we headed?

I foresee a time, in the not too distant future, a general breakdown of American society. This may or may not be helped by outside influences. After all, we have already weakened our military to the point where it wouldn't take much in the way of an invasion. Second, we are letting the liberal "don't offend anyone" politicos and the main stream media tell us who we should vote for. And if you think I am exaggerating that last point, look at the coverage of the upcoming Caucus in Iowa. After watching, I would be surprised if anyone knew there still was a Republican party.

I am not sure where we will go after the breakdown, but I would love your input on what you think!
