#2 It’s a mistake to confuse any nation with its ruling class. Particularly this nation, at this time.

#4 ...In fact, I'd define a real nation as one that can change a political system without breaking up.

#5 This is a complex question:
Politically no, but this depends on how you veiw the politicians "use" of the system.
Culturally yes, this is a looser aspect of americanism, because many americans come from different cultural backgrounds, but the erosion of those common cultural markers that bind a people, i.e., common idea of your own history, are corrupted
ideologically yes, this is critical as american self-definition derives from embracing american ideals, the destruction of the family unit, loss of religion, etc are all reinforcing elements in the ideology and they are going going ...
Add to that the first time America has been threatened by a near peer enemy we are economically bound with while struggling through this, no bueno.
We are in and have been in a war for a while for at least a decade or so. It is a war for the individual American. It is spiritual, it is mental, it is physical, it is all around and it is real. 5th generation war. Throw out your old concept of war and ask yourself: How do you win/lose a war and never fire a bullet?
