The Rise and Fall of the American Empire.

All empires fall. Rome... Persia... United Kingdom...

In the 1960's way way way before I was born. The American Empire sent a man to the moon.

30 years later...

America is dependent on Russian rockets to supply their own Astronauts.

All Empires fall.

It is the nature of society.

Where did America go wrong?

The T-Shirts represent American Capitalism.

Yes, you and I are part of an Empire.

The leftover “New Coke” t-shirts are the best.

Don’t be afraid.

Embrace the EMPIRE !!!

All the ammendments in the early 1900s. Federal reserve, senate by popular vote, womans right to vote ( this was i evitable), fdr and wwii set ground work for soft communism. Civil rights movement used to stomp out fre speech and freedom of association, war on poverty is actually war on the family, and now the ram rodding of the homo agenda to try to crush what is left of traditional christianity.

I’m not part of an Empire, regardless of t shirts and soda pop.

Hey twit, It's a good thing you weren't around during the Revolutionary War. I suspect that when New York fell, you'd have handed your undies to the Red Coats.

Well, yes you are, whether you realize it or not.

It’s certainly not what historians would call an Empire in the traditional sense.

But it’s an empire none-the-less.

There can be no denying this.

Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements.

Check that.

I am the most PRO CAPITALIST person that you will ever meet.

Capitalism is Human Nature expressed.

If that expression means the export of capitalism to every corner of the world then I’m all for it.

Just wanted a discussion.

I agree with you. Historical parallels are tiring.

Thank you for admitting the facts, but spare me whatever stoner nonsense you keep posting on why in your fantasy, we are an empire because of tshirts and soda pop.
