Yawn. New day, same old hysterics with the same old doom and gloomy delusions. Same sorts of losers said it in the 1820s, 1850s, 1860s, 1890s, 1910s, 1930s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Funny thing. The Republic survives long after the panic stricken are rotting meat.

I believe it's quite different now. In the 1890's you didn't have Irish coming here with the goal to make the U.S. an Irish Republic. I believe most Muslims would like the U.S. to become an Islamic Republic some day and the illegals demanding "Reconquista." Things are different in the 21st century.

what's different these days is that the framework for the one world global economy/order is in place.

all too many people think the one-world kumbaya utopia will solve it all...

What we are witnessing today is unprecedented. We are being invaded. If anything, the numbers are understated.

The present level of immigration is significantly higher than the average historical level of immigration. This flow may be attributed, in part, to the extraordinary broadening of U.S. immigration policy in 1965. Since 1970, more than 30 million legal and illegal immigrants have settled in the U.S., representing more than one-third of all people ever to come to America's shores.

At the peak of the Great Wave of immigration in 1910, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. was less than half of what it is today, though the percentage of the population was slightly higher. The annual arrival of 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants, coupled with 750,000 annual births to immigrant women, is the determinate factor— or three-fourths— of all U.S. population growth.

the Republic died a little in each of those time periods, and its slow death continues. the founding fathers would probably not even recognize our government.

those that understand our slow demise aren't panicked, they're popping corn and watching it all go uncontrollably down. the ones panicked are the ones who had a revelation and realize how much liberty we've lost and how morally vacant we've become.

This statement still echoes within the city of Rome. They thought the status quo was just fine as well.

Keeping a Nation alive and well is much like keeping a house in good order. One has to inspect the premises from time to time and replace the rotten timbers. This grand Nation of ours in great need of work. I would advise you to listen to rational critics, then help with the scaffolding.

You mean we're not doomed? Can I come out from under the bed now?
