Wimper.

In just the last 24 Hours:

- Speaker of the House wants Federal investigation of any that oppose the Ground Zero Mosque.

- State Department pays for Imams ME Trips.

- NY offers State land to move Mosque.

-Federal Appeals Court Rules Against Utah Memorial Crosses Along Highway

We deserve slaughter to make room for a better more patriotic generation.

I also see the roads, and feel the pain.....so much trash on our highways in CA, right in HEART of Silico Valley. Third world like road conditions. If we are busted here, we must be busted everywhere.

Also, the great sales that people are offerring.

Taco Bell’s 2 dollar meal, and I see even professional workers getting it.

I used to wish Pizza Hut would sell its Pizza cheap. It used to be 20+ dollars to get a large one with toppings and taxes and bread-sticks, it used to come out to like 30bucks.

Now, they offer any Pizza with ANY toppings at 10 bucks. Before something like that alone would run you 30bucks.

So it is not like corporations all of a sudden developed a heart. And this after our Dollar is so cheap right now. Has been diluted like crazy and they are still offerring such deals.

There are commercials playing on RADIO CONSTANTLY about Food Stamp programs and how almost anyone qualifies.

Ofcourse the Debt-Reduction guys have flooded the airways.

The Gold grubbers are out in force too.

Now they are throwing in 100 dollars of BONUS paper money if you send them Gold you don’t need.

They know the Bonus they are sending is made out of Toilet paper.

We just declassified Taliban as Terrorist. Only reason has to be that we are about to NEGOTIATE.

Yet what is our Nation’s BIGGEST political issue right now?

MOSQUE near Ground Zero.

It is safe to say WE ARE IN TROUBLE.

Minor quibble: “...Rome in the latter fifth century BC...” did not decline insidiously. Around the 5th century BC, Rome was busy transforming from a monarchy to the incredible republic it eventually became. Now, in the 5th century AD, Rome did decline, and not all that insidiously, as the late emperors were corrupt and weak, the empire huge and fractious, and the neighbors powerful and expansionist.

I know that special prosecutors like Patrick Fitzgerald, hold press conferences, bankrupt their prey through drawn-out legal procedures, and then usually fail to prove much of anything against the likes of a Scooter Libby or Blago, (and so settle for perjury convictions when they find contradictions in the miles of confused subpoenaed testimony.)

Fitzpatrick should be in jail for his malicious prosecution of Scooter Libby. Now he loses on 23 of 24 counts against Blago.

As always, VDH has some great ideas. But with the usurper in office, they are all but impossible to implement.

His diagnosis is sound. His solutions strike me as, let’s say, optimistic.

The acid test will be the great depression or the great stagflation or whatever period of penance we are entering into. We saw how our nation handled such things in the past, when we were still cohesive enough to be called a nation, and when our people were in tune with reality.

We are now fragmented and used to illusion.

I hate to disagree with VDH, but look at the history of the Roman Empire. We are in decline.
