Seems to you huh? You really ought to discuss the matter with some of the guys (and gals) who have been there and seen and done it. I have - being here next to Fort Hood, and overwhelmingly - and predictably - they KNOW what they were fighting and in some cases dying for: to defeat an despicable barbarous enemy that given the opportunity, would bring their despicableness and barbarism over here and kill Americans - threatening all of us, including their families and friends, and that's not even mentioning the threat to basically all we - or at least the Good and Normal of us - hold dear - our FREEDOM, our Creature Comforts (to use your term), and our culture, religion, and our way of life.
Ingrates and America-haters may not consider those things worth fighting and dying for, but the HUGE majority of us - white, black, hispanic, etc.; rich, middle class, working class, and poor (if in fact any poor exist here hahahaha) all do, and support any means necessary to (in the words of Gen. Patton) not die for our country, but make those other damn sonofabitches die for their country (or sick bogus excuse of a religion or whatever).
Financial collapse? You'd have about has hard a time finding evidence of that as digging up those phantom poor you keep whining about. The housing market and mortgage market took a beating because of a weird Clinton era program FORCING mortgage companies to approve unqualified buyer of real estate - who then predictably defaulted and so on and so forth. In reality, things are slowly bouncing back not because of Obama, but in spite of his economic wrongheadedness.
Yes, more and more and more Americans are "dumb enough" to sweep more and more conservatives into office and to sweep YOUR kind of politicians onto the garbage heap of history.
