Are we doomed? In the short term, I'd say "yes." We've become a decadent, dependent, entitled people who have turned away from God. If Mitt Romney is the best we can do in the crisis that we face, we're in trouble.

There's a reckoning coming, and we're due for one.

There's a reckoning coming, and we're long overdue for one.

Alway worth reading but I say VDH needs to flee California for E Texas. His outlook will markedly improve.

“AWD” Ping.

Toast!

[MachIV]

We’re done. Stick a fork in us.

Agreed with your commentary—not Hanson’s. It’s not a “slowest recovery.” It’s an economic fall. We’re going through a correction for our own good and haven’t seen the best part, yet (the shedding of many regulations and highly paid, counterproductive activities). There will be smaller government.

American leaders of tomorrow have courage and ingenuity. Many will be surprised at the demographics that those leaders come from (humble for now). What we have now is a debt regime controlled by declining hard socialists on all sides, and they are gushing beside-the-point, dishonest hysteria and panic through the media.

Doomed might be a bit harsh but we are definitely screwed ...

I stick by my tagline!

That was a great flippin article. I lost count of the home run lines.

[Little Ray]

Yes. We are Doomed:

Given human nature, societies never voluntarily reduce entitlements.

Can anyone think of an historic example?

[tnlibertarian]

Doomed!

Except, yeah, we're pretty darned screwed.

[OB1kNOb]

Yes. Next question.

[Pagey]

BTTT!

I choose to not participate the the doom. Much of America is doomed though.

[Smokin' Joe]

I think proximity to doom can be measured by the relative tonnage of babble committed to print.

At some point, you have to clean out the dross, and burning the books seems the time honored human way.

There was a time when I thought I would make some attempt to preserve some small pod of human knowledge, and there is a selected aspect I'll make the effort to keep alive. Otherwise, you'll find me next to the pile, keeping warm...
