I don't see the American people content with Big Government or with enforced decline. Its not in our national DNA no matter how much the Left and a good chunk of the Right would prefer that we cease being a benign hegemon. We're just too big a target to wash our hands off the world. After 9/11 such a blase course of indifference can no longer be sustained. And the world will rudely blast its way in if we insist on ignoring it. For better or worse, being the greatest country in the world is and remains America's destiny.

Well, you probably don’t really realize just how much we have taken in and adjusted to. We are in the process of this thing and it didn’t start with Obama. The 20th century saw a huge change in the political scene in America, and even some of our best presidents in that century allowed the slide to statism to continue. The one good thing Obama has done is to be so bold as to try to shove us the rest of the way. That opened a lot of eyes, but some only see us at the beginning, when really, what we are experiencing is way past the middle of the decline of our civilization. The 60s was the kick in the ‘you know what’ that really set the decline on the fast track. We’ve been diverted (intentionally) with the lives of the ‘superstars’, soap-opera stars, American Idol stars, their lives so outrageously perverse, that we are fascinated by their depravity. In the meantime, we’ve come to allow their depravity to become the norm for life in America. Instead of tuning in, we should’ve tuned out and forced the media and movie industry to provide soul-enriching, instead of soul-destroying, products.

Our national DNA is no longer the way it was when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s. America has become a hostile environment in large cities, where crime and mafia-like institutions hold sway over government and large swatches of the city. One is not safe from crime or hate in large swatches of the country. Our allowing PC to become government policy has increased incivility, hatred, anti-government activity, and general mistrust.

Some feel that there is no use fighting it, while others think that it’s as simple as removing all the present Congress and electing a new. But it has become our American psyche, and we need to make some fundamental changes in order to overcome this. We have got to go back to the Bible and the natural laws of God to reverse this. Do you really think that most of America will want this much change?

We may yearn to be but we will not be able to afford it once Zero and his insane clown posse spend us to ruin.

I HOPE Nov reverses it but I don’t know: too much may have been spent and it may be a mortal wound.

Just like the Brits...Just like the Romans.

Neither of their DNA’s could countenance such a fate....

But I HOPE i am wrong and we can seriously remember our DNA, as you suggest.
