It didn’t just happen, it took getting rid of Carter and a new vision.
Maybe he’s angling to become the NYTimes’ resident “conservative.”
Kraut has soured. What a fool. Then again, nothing really surprising these past few days, he has always been a liberino.
What are we #1 in making any more?
Weapons, I assume.
Aircraft, if Boeing can ever deliver the dream-liner.
Farm equipment (Caterpillar and Deere).
Farm commodities.
Higher education, I suppose. The lead we had is too great to completely lose overnight.
Finance? not any more.
Software? moving offshore.
Fiat money, unfortunately.
We’re not economically dead, but we are in serious trouble.
The late 70s was a period of malaise. People were saying oh, the American era is over. The big dictatorships in the world are going to dominate us. That was a reflection of the terrible economic conditions, the stagnation and the inflation late 70s
Anyone know how to get Krauthammer a message from a citizen of the UNITED STATES of America? Does he take input from the average citizen or is he in a world closed to us average citizens?
American decline?
Well, this week we can now add military decline to economic decline, cultural decline and moral decline.
Hey SOUR kraut... please pick up the red phone... obama needs his ass kissed today.
LLS
On the other hand: ordinary Americans, very much including new and/or young entrepreneurs, have been very good at pulling the fat out of the national fire. This mitigative countering makes anti-declinism the way to bet, once different hands take the D.C. tiller.
One of the reasons why Atlas Shrugged is so popular is because it captures the essence of this struggle. If there were a real-life John Galt, he or she could push the U.S. over the edge in times like these.
Charles has descended into dementia.
I don’t wish to hear anymore from him.
“What are we #1 in making any more?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Litigation.
Government.
Government litigation.
“...the repeal represents the taming of the most conservative of the nation’s institutions, the military, by a movement historically among the most avant-garde.”
Why is Kraut talking so breathlessly about such a thing? Did someone forget to hand him his conservative script this week? He sounds like Tingles Matthews for the love of Pete (pun intended). Charles better get back to running his old schtick pretty soon or he’ll be thrown onto the heap with other “conservatives” like Kathleen Parker.
He has an e-mail link at Townhall.com.
And btw, you obviously have not a clue as to the meaning of "American exceptionalism." Like most ignorant liberals, you fail to grasp what it is that does in fact make America exceptional in all the world, even at this late date.
What a disappointment.
