Adding to what Dar said, the US is like every country out there, full of people from stupid to bright, but its the most powerfull nation on earth, and the idea of stupid religious zealots taking over the country really frightens me. The US had the oportunity of a fresh start, with the knowledge from what happened before in the 'old world', and that transpired in the work of the founding fathers. IMO, the US since they won WW2, became decadent, spoiled by the power it grown. To make things worse, the education system has not been improving, thus leading to even more decay of public awareness, making shitbag politicians more probable to be elected.
My own country isn't perfect, most probably its worse here than on the US, but the US had the chance of being the shiny beacon of human progress and blown it.
