That American dominance has ended seems to be part of the RINO mantra, a kind of accommodationist fait accompli that manifests as resignation and a gleeful acceptance of our own obsolescence.

These are certainly leaders that inspire greatness, aren't they?

First of all, one would expect different qualities from a leader than from a citizen.

Secondly, when does one come to the realization that the boat is indeed sinking?

I myself don't feel "gleeful" at all, and yet at this moment in our nation's history I see very little that would indicate to me that Americans are actually concerned with the longevity and survival of the nation.
