America died because we let people whose first loyalties were to something other than America in government. Catholics first loyalty is to the Vatican. Jews only loyalty is to Israel. Soldiers and cops first loyalty is to their unit. Women's first loyalty is to their sex. Irish "Americans," Italian "Americans," "African" "Americans," etc, etc, etc... All these groups use government as a weapon to enrich and empower their group at the expense of all others. America is a white Protestant country. Only white Protestants use government to the benefit of all under their rule. The moment we let a non-male/non-white/non-Protestant in government we were doomed.
