NBC's "Today" show invited on "Newsweek International" editor Fareed Zakaria to promote his book "The Post-American World," on Monday's show and during his segment the author depicted the United States as a nation in decline as he declared the "era" of "'American exceptionalism' is over."

As examples of America's declining standing in the world the "Newsweek" editor cited such facts as China now having the "Largest ferris wheel in the world," Minneapolis' "Mall of America" no longer being the largest in the world and Macau having surpassed Las Vegas in the size of their casinos.

Call me when another nation puts men on the moon - or invents a global communications network.

Thats all I need to know - a hate America, DNC card carrying, democrat hack.

The era of Newsweak is over.

Liberals are always decrying the end of America. Just 2 decades ago Reagan won by telling America that our best days were ahead of us - and he was right.

I studied Esperanto for about three months in High School. When I asked who spoke it, and the answer was “nobody”, it transferred to Spanish. If a language cannot be used to chat up foreign women in bars, I want no part of it!

Lot of Freepers snorting “nonsense!” but, funny thing, where was your computer made? Your car? The can of tuna that went into your sandwich? The shoes on your feet?

Translation, the weekly news magazines are only selling overseas in markets with LESS internet penetration or no new media.

Newsweek is no longer relevant in the USA so it kicks the USA.

My reply to Newsweek involves one more word than yours does.

And an exclamation point or two.

But, I believe my party is missing the boat on Climate Change.

Thanks, no doubt, in large part to Newsweek.

I hope Mr. Fareed Zakaria moves ASAP to Canada, and increases the average IQ of both countires...

Sounds like the word of the Arab Street talking again. I saw all the braying I needed from the Arab Street as they cheered the deaths of thousands in the WTC attacks.

Where was the technology designed?

What were the last technological devices you bought and used on a daily basis with no US engineering?

NOW that the global warming “movement” is starting to make its infinitely slow U-turn, covering its tracks as it sheepishly starts stammering and looking at the ground,while gloating over the money it’s made, THIS kind of thesis makes a comeback. Things move in cycles.
