American electorate didn’t choose ObaMAO...He was selected and grabed the power after many frauds and an opportune financial crisis!

For a little reminder

Not a train wreck from HIS perspective.

It is a victory for the Obama Caliphate.

The Mayans may very well had had something with that 12-21-2012 thing.

“Train wreck” is also an adequate description of Zero’s domestic policies...

A very interesting article, set up and presented well, with many, many valuable and cogent points.

The only major issue I have with it (aside from some paleo-conservative quibbles) is that it presents BHO as the central poblem to the undeniable faltering of America at this time. I do not believe that BHO possesses such significance.

BHO is the blinking red light on the dashboard of a failing vehicle. He signals that things are amiss, perhaps critically so. But he merely serves to indicate more serious malfunctions elsewhere than the dashboard.

Take a hammer, smash the blinking red light into thin plastic shards, and nothing significant has changed. The primary malfunction or systems failures are still in play.

What the US has lost is the WILL to lead and protect, and we are rapidly and visibly losing the means. This is due to ideology and culture more than any objective factors.

We decline because our dominant culture encourges and nurtures weakness, indolence, vice, dependence and apathy. Great Britain had the butchers’ bill of WWI as a reason for the beginning of her decline. We have domestic parasitism, academia and media, all of which we permit or encourgae internally. Poor excuses to go slack, and to hold out our hands to be fitted for shackles.

The blinking red light is obnoxious and irritating, but it is not the principle reason we are coasting to a stop.

May God preserve and restore us. Men have failed to do so. Indeed they are unable.

A very solid and thought provoking article. Thank you for posting it, Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus.

While I do not disagree with the basic premise of the article, the history presented here leaves something to be desired. Charactarizing the period between 1815 and 1914 as one of “general peace” in Europe is, to put it politely, open to debate. They had:

The Crimean War, a war between Belgium and Holland, Portugal and Spain. There was a war between Poland and Russia, an Austro-Prussian war, A Danish war, a French expidition to Mexico, wars in Italy, colonial rebellions in India, a Russian Turkish war,and, the war that set up WWI; the French/German war of 1871. Etc., etc.

I suppose that if we look between the European wars of this time period, we can find short periods of “general peace”, but not many.
