VDH gets it. What we are seeing is the end of the US as the world’s lone superpower and a long arc of decline as we descend into a third world country with a declining standard of living.

Thank you VDH. What really disgusts me is the MSM is most to blame for this. President Obama is their creation. He would never have been elected but for them. They covered for him and created the anti-Bush hysteria that made his election possible.

The annoying thing is they are so out of touch with reality that they will never acknowledge their part in the destruction of the best society that humanity has ever produced.

Unbelievable what they have done so far, with barely a whimper from the media. More than 70% certain he will stay another 4 years, because of the campaign coffers. Isn't it like 6 Billion to Acorn in the porkulous bill? That is Obama's relection campaign cash!!

Prepare now for an opressive and messed up country. I will not contribite one dime in taxes to these people, scaling down everything.

I can't imagine how it will be turned back. The left has now almost achieved its 50 year dream of Utopia, all power to the elite rulers and s*it to the peons, hope they like it!!

As usual VDH brings great clarity to what is going on. He is right. We are in the race of our lives. My only objection is his last line. I don't think this country will end in a whimper. There is always the day after a bankruptcy, a defeat, a divorce, whatever. Life goes on.

If we have to endure 4 yrs of BO, or even 8 yrs, we will always be able to pick up the pieces. Many Americans don't believe this because our children have been robbed of their history by the hate America left. But, in truth, we have collapsed many times. And always, ALWAYS, came back stronger and better.

The first Constitution failed within a decade. The new nation created by the second one fell apart in 1861. The Great Depression destroyed vast amounts of wealth. In WWII we were forced to fight a two front war against enemies who really did want to destroy us and killed as many of us they could get their hands on. Our political elite in the 1970’s lost the Vietnam War and preached the gospel of better alive on your knees than dead fighting for freedom against Soviet Communism. And although many died and suffered greatly, in the end we prevailed.

We have faced worse threats than this self loathing huckster who wants to bury our economy, destroy our culture and punish as many white people as possible for the accident of his birth and the emptiness of his upbringing.

We have a nasty enemy on our hands, I'll grant you that. But look into his eyes. It's all false pride and anger. Frankly, he may destroy himself before he takes us out. That is the real race IMO!

"Given that the 1964 LBJ landslide quickly led to Nixon, the 1976 New Carterism led to Reagan, and the 1992 Clintonism was followed by GWB, Obama must know that his gargantuan spending and borrowing and regulation will lead to mega-taxes which will lead eventually, as is always the case, to stagflagation: low growth, high unemployment, high inflation, and high interest. He must know that near-trillion dollar experiments like cap-and-trade and socialized health care will not create new productive potential, only tens of thousands of new regulators that will hamper economic growth..."

That assumes that Barry is rational, sane, and informed. If he is in a borderline state of grandiose fantasy, delusion, and dissociation brought on by childhood abandonment and its accompanying Adult Children of Dysfunctional Parents Syndrome, his thinking would not be logical, rational, or sane. What seems to be going on is a symbiosis in delusion between the Stockholm Syndrome/Münchausen by Proxy adoring followers, induced by their victimology and his grandiose fantasies and messianic posturing. These must have started at an early age as he told his classmates at the private school he attended in Hawaii that his father (who abandoned him) was an "African Prince." And then that bit about how he "has a gift." Any alarm bells going off yet?

Dr. Krauthammer should recognize the borderline, narcissistic fantasies and delusions, the victimology and bizarre Stockholm Syndrome/Münchausen by Proxy coupling that sends deluded followers looking for a messiah or cult leader promising utopia and flimflam shortcuts to solve perennial problems. If Barry was marketing a creative visualization DVD or magical Mood Ring on Oprah to these vulnerable followers, he could retire now.

These kinds of fantasies and irrational delusions are characteristic of cults.
Complete with its own Ponzi scheme. It's not the first time vulnerable and confused Americans have fallen for this type of con. What's needed is exit counseling and cult deprogramming. But people need to ask why so many Americans are spiritually and emotionally vulnerable to this in their psychology, not just neurotic liberals. It happened during the 1960s and 1970s.

Asking the questions you won’t hear from the White House press corp, ever. Good stuff.

Good article. Thank you, for posting it.

... America is not mentioned in the last days/end times ... in the Holy Bible.

Could it be because, America is no longer a power worth mentioning? or simply gone?

We better get our heads up ... our prayers up; or this will happen, sooner rather than later ..

God help America, turn us back to You and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Have mercy on Your people. Forgive us our sins and they are many, we are, but dust. Thank You, that You hear our prayers. Help us to return to You. Without You, we can do nothing. In the name of Jesus Christ, let us pray. Amen.

How can a man who pretends to be educated be this morally illiterate? "suspects would prefer to be water-boarded than vaporized". Who cares what they prefer? Does Hanson know what honor is? Has he ever heard of it in decades of classical studies? Does he know that a man who hurts anyone defenseless and at his mercy has none, while a man who risks and deals death in battle does? Why is this hard to understand? Or is it that it is easy to understand, but he just doesn't like what is means?
