Indeed I worry.

How cliche. I'm going to complain about the government.

I am worried for the United States. Our democracy has not become what it once was.

Government as a whole is hard. It is a wonderful idea: the ability to have a group of people working together for and with each other, with a government as the head. The issue with this is that the head must be intelligent, caring, dedicated, charismatic, strong, and balanced. Almost perfect. Unfortunately, people just aren't that good. Multiple types have been created in an attempt to find the best kind of government using the flawed people it consists of.
Monarchy hopes that the single ruler will be good enough, even with his/her flaws, to lead a stable people. With certain monarchs, this has worked. Countries have prospered under the control of an individual who is fit to rule. Unfortunately, it is not always this way. This method can make governments that utterly destroy the country, and transfer of power is not always stable.
Aristocracy is a form of government that allows more than one person to help make decisions, specifically the elite. It assumes that the elite will be more fit for the position having gone through training and education, yet balanced enough among the small group. Unfortunately, the elite upbringing does not always instill kindness for the less fortunate. A good idea, but too unstable.
Democracy is meant to use the entire population. Statistically, everyone should balance until a perfect medium is created, which would be suitable for government.

The Democracy/Republic combination the United States uses is indeed a very good idea. It allows for rapid decision making, yet allows for the voice of the people to base the choices.
Unfortunately, a kink has formed. Our people have become soft. They do not research. They do not question. Our government has become a tug of war of the loud ones. Groups can plead for anything, as long as they keep it "politically correct." The winners are the ones who can create the most believable propaganda, and get it to the majority. Our people eat it up. Rumors and gossip are some of our best judgement. Truth no longer matters. Our government is always in a constant swing of conservatism vs. liberalism, but I fear that we are ripe to fall into radicalism. Should radicals of either side become loud and favored enough to take control, our country will fall.
As of now, I worry that radical liberals are taking this chance. Playing on the heart of the people, they have convinced them that a minority, any minority, should be given extra power because they are not as represented. We are a democracy. As a democracy, the goal is to even out power. Giving one person more than another because of their condition, birth, or preference goes against what we stand for. Liberals hail "equality" but they instead fight against it.
What our country has need of now is silence. If no one is yelling, arguing, blaming, or attacking others, we might be able to find that we all, as America, are equal. Forget the past, forgive things others have done wrong, and work together to move forward.
It breaks my heart to see such a good idea become so tainted.
