The fall of America

[Cancel8]

He doesnt know his history very well for a canook teaching US history.

To say the gulf war was waged to take out Sadam is a flat out lie.

It's a good thing he didn't say that, then, isn't it?

Does his piece disturb you because it is incorrect, or because it's true?

 

[evince]

Was Desert strom waged to take out Sadam??????

This guy teaches American history and hes LYING about it for poltical purposes.


He is not even an American and hes annoucing the death of my country to further his carreer as a right wing political hack.

 

[evince]

Mojo, I have already shown that the pos is lying several times.

Yes I dont like him because hes a fucking liar, and NO it not true, what he says it mostly bullshit.

[Dixie - In Memoriam]

I didnt shoot him I exposed him for the wacky con he is.
Hes a friend and cohort of Savage.

Go look at his other articles, hes a big time con trying to pretend he didnt like bush.

Hes a lying sack of shit who is promouncing the US dead because hes a political hack.

Pronouncing the US dead, is not a real beneficial way to advance a political agenda. If it's all over and we're done, what difference does it make if R's or D's are in political power? Is it for the honor of getting to preside over the funeral? I can see where pinhead communist socialists would dig such a celebration, but why would a conservative? Makes no sense!

I have to see, this was one more depressing article to start my new year with, and if the guys is a conservative, he is the most pessimistic one I am aware of. Most true conservatives are very excited about the new congress, and the prospects of finally realizing conservative principles in government. I don't see Michelle Bachman or Jim DeMint writing Americas obituary, I don't hear this pessimistic message from Newt or Sarah. Quite the contrary, I hear nothing but optimism and faith that we can turn things around and restore America. No, this guy is not a conservative, at least not a TEA Party type... he might be one of those beltway elites or libertarian moderate goobs, who is depressed because he sees the TP writing on the wall, and doesn't like it. But to me, they are the same as a liberal pinhead at this point. Lump you all in together, because your ways of thinking are just wrong, and it doesn't really matter which one of you are MORE wrong!

America is about to make a comeback. It will be a long hard road back to the prestige of old, but let there be no doubt in anyone's mind, the challenges can and will be met. The first priority, is to eradicate the socialist leftist thinking of big government and supplant the idea of personal responsibility. People are starting to catch on and pay attention to this. And unlike days of old, where they were largely indifferent to politics, they have become involved, in ways they haven't ever been, and America hasn't seen in decades. I say this with all due respect to every socialist liberal, libertarian moderate, establishment GOPer, antagonist anti-everything... whatever you are... Don't underestimate the power of the people. That's not a warning or threat, just a bit of wisdom you'd do well to keep in mind going forward. We are in a "new day" for American politics, and you all need to get with the times.

What do you base your optimism on?

TEA party conservatives unseated liberal to moderate democrats in over 600 statehouse seats across America. This political shift is unprecedented in American history, with the exception of Reconstruction. Many state legislatures shifted from Democrat to Republican control for the first time since Reconstruction! This was a phenomenal event in American political history, and it was only the beginning. The statehouse shift is important to national politics because of redistricting. Republicans control the boundaries of various electoral districts, specifically in key areas of the country, like Ohio and Florida.. places Obama and the Dems can't survive without. So, 2012 becomes even more pivotal, and the shift to conservatism becomes even more inevitable.

That's what I base my optimism on.

Wasn't the legislative majority Conservative recently?

What was their legacy?

The cyclical nature of politics is well-established.

 

[signalmankenneth]

The Decline and Fall of the American Empire - here it comes, folks, and soon

"With 2010 drawing to a close, the American moment is ending not with a bang but a whimper.

The 2000s will be remembered as the era of American decline.

Instead of trying to reverse this, Washington is hastening it.

The lame-duck Congress, with help from Republicans, passed President Obama's tax deal, which adds nearly another trillion to the debt.

It is a massive stimulus in disguise - with no offsetting spending cuts.

Moreover, Mr. Obama - again with GOP help - succeeded in getting "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) repealed, enabling homosexuals to serve openly in the military. This is one of the most revolutionary and damaging acts ever done to a core American institution. It will decimate the greatest fighting force on earth, undermining unit cohesion, morale and discipline - the lifeblood of a successful military. It is an act of national suicide.

This will add another layer of difficulty to our already inconclusive wars. Consider that the last time the United States won a major war was 1945 - Korea was a stalemate, Vietnam a defeat; the first Gulf War failed to topple Saddam Hussein; Afghanistan and Iraq have become prolonged quagmires.

Total victory has become alien to us.

A small example of how far we have fallen, how pampered and coddled we have become, was the decision by the NFL this week to postpone the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings in Philadelphia. Football players are supposed to be the closest thing Americans have to modern Roman gladiators. The game exemplifies the rugged individualism and grit at the heart of the American character. The reason for the delay: Philadelphia was expecting 11 inches of snow. By comparison with historical Northeast winters, this was a minor storm - something previous generations simply shoveled and plowed through as they got on with their daily lives.

If 11 inches of snow brings America's gladiators to a halt, it is clear we have lost our resilience.

This is evident, too, in the kinds of leaders we elect. Conventional wisdom holds that Mr. Obama is the antithesis of his predecessor, former President George W. Bush. Mr. Obama is a liberal Democrat.

Mr. Bush was a conservative Republican. Mr. Obama is a cosmopolitan internationalist, while Mr. Bush was a unilateralist cowboy. In fact, they have much more in common than either the left or the right would like to admit. Mr. Obama is simply continuing -and intensifying - many of the disastrous Bush policies.

Runaway government spending, new entitlements (for example, the prescription drug benefit), soaring deficits, bailouts, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, expensive stimulus packages, a porous southern border and nation-building abroad - all of this began under Mr. Bush.

Mr. Obama is accelerating the big-government corporatism and social-engineering militarism that marked the Bush years.

At its core, Mr. Obama's presidency is a culmination of - not a break from - Bushism.

Economic stagnation has set in. Mr. Obama's trillion-dollar deficits have pushed us to the brink of national bankruptcy. The greatest domestic threat to America is the skyrocketing national debt - which is approaching Greece-like levels.

Instead of slashing spending, Washington continues to party like it's 1965.

Obamacare is the final nail in America's fiscal coffin. We are spending money we simply do not have.

Moreover, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid combined account for more than $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.

The stark reality is that we cannot afford these huge - and popular - entitlement programs.

To restore fiscal sanity and prevent crushing taxation, these programs must be privatized or substantially scaled back.

The public, however, has no appetite for these kinds of draconian measures.

Like many Europeans, Americans have become addicted to la dolce vita - the good life. Generous social programs combined with increasing consumerism and sexual hedonism characterize the modern West. It is the end result of a society stripped from its Christian moorings.

The 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche claimed "God is dead." Nietzsche's point was that the loss of faith would constitute our civilization's seminal cultural reality.

The passing of the Christian West signifies the end not only of a worldview, but of a character type - one based on honor, family, self-help, blood-and-soil patriotism, personal responsibility and a God-centered moral order.

Self-indulgence and self-expression have filled the vacuum. Life is no longer about sacrifice and duty; it's about maximizing pleasure and self-fulfillment.

Most Americans can no longer endure pain. This is why unemployment benefits keep being extended. This is why nearly every industry is "too big to fail." It is the inevitable consequence of statism: the transformation of freeborn and productive citizens into de facto serfs who look to Uncle Sam for handouts. Decades of liberalism have led to the servile state.

In the 2000s, as we became soft, self-indulgent and mired in foreign interventions, a new great power emerged: an ultranationalist China.

During the past decade, Beijing became the world's No. 1 manufacturer and automaker, premier exporting nation and No. 2 economy. China is engaged in a massive military buildup and menaces its neighbors.

It owns much of our public debt. It is to America what we once were to Great Britain: the rising force in the world.

All civilizations rise and fall. Ancient Greece, Persia, Rome, medieval Europe, the great Italian city-states, the Ottoman Empire, the vast European empires - the past is littered with the corpses of once unparalleled and dominant powers that are now a distant memory.

So too has America passed its zenith.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/dec/30/the-fall-of-america/?page=1

Despite the aura of omnipotence most empires project, a look at their history should remind us that they are fragile organisms. So delicate is their ecology of power that, when things start to go truly bad, empires regularly unravel with unholy speed: just a year for Portugal, two years for the Soviet Union, eight years for France, 11 years for the Ottomans, 17 years for Great Britain, and, in all likelihood, 22 years for the United States, counting from the crucial year 2003.

Future historians are likely to identify the Bush administrations rash invasion of Iraq in that year as the start of America's downfall. However, instead of the bloodshed that marked the end of so many past empires, with cities burning and civilians slaughtered, this twenty-first century imperial collapse could come relatively quietly through the invisible tendrils of economic collapse or cyberwarfare.

But have no doubt: when Washington's global dominion finally ends, there will be painful daily reminders of what such a loss of power means for Americans in every walk of life. As a half-dozen European nations have discovered, imperial decline tends to have a remarkably demoralizing impact on a society, regularly bringing at least a generation of economic privation. As the economy cools, political temperatures rise, often sparking serious domestic unrest.

Available economic, educational, and military data indicate that, when it comes to U.S. global power, negative trends will aggregate rapidly by 2020 and are likely to reach a critical mass no later than 2030. The American Century, proclaimed so triumphantly at the start of World War II, will be tattered and fading by 2025, its eighth decade, and could be history by 2030.

[Sammy Jankis]

All your analysis is wrong. It's globalist propaganda.

Our downfall is due to globalization and an idiotic trade iabalance which a retard would be smart enough to correct if he wasn't brainwashed by internationalist fascists.

 

[Cancel8]

"...since the Republicans have gained control of the Congress, the federal budget (over $2 trillion) and the federal deficit (over $500 billion) are the highest ever, the national debt is over $7 trillion (and increasing an average of $2 billion per day), hundreds of Americans have died on foreign soil, and Americans have even less liberty now than they had before...

You've asked what's factually incorrect. Well, let's take a look.

1.

http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/freesounds5/buzzerheavy.wav
There is no historical evidence whatsoever to support his view regarding DADT.

2.

Football players are supposed to be the closest thing Americans have to modern Roman gladiators. The game exemplifies the rugged individualism and grit at the heart of the American character.

http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/freesounds5/buzzerheavy.wav
Pampered and coddled? Only an idiot would needlessly go out driving in a snow storm.

3.

Obamacare is the final nail in America's fiscal coffin. We are spending money we simply do not have.

http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/freesounds5/buzzerheavy.wav
A government, a country, has the equivalent amount of money as the entire population. That's what makes a country. Countries like Somalia and Ethiopia with a GDP less than $1000/yr does not have the money. Countries like the US at over $45,000/yr does have the money.

It is the height of absurdity to say the US can not look after it's ill citizens.

4.

Moreover, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid combined account for more than $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities.

The stark reality is that we cannot afford these huge - and popular - entitlement programs.

http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/freesounds5/buzzerheavy.wav
Draconian measures? Virtually every industrialized country has some form of government medical and every country started out with a "pay or suffer" system. If anything is draconian it's "pay or die" medical.

5.

Most Americans can no longer endure pain. This is why unemployment benefits keep being extended.

http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/fr...uzzerheavy.wav
Most Americans can no longer go without eating or heat in their home when it's below zero during the winter. Losing ones home frequently destroys the family. Discord between adults and the resulting upheaval also affects the children who, depending on age, fail or drop out of school.

I surmise the author went without a hat during his childhood in Canada and froze his brain!

wow...i've seen crazy stuff from evince, but this thread....wow...meltdown

it doesn't matter if the first gulf war wasn't about taking out saddam...the FACT remains it was discussed and considered and had we taken him out then, it might have been better for all...we left 10's of thousands of his troops with an empty hand, there numerous troops ready to surrender, it is believed that taking out saddam then would not have been hard and in fact many iraqis were waiting for it and would have helped us

I don't care which is your problem, to be honest.

So, how many of the people who signed the "Contract With America weren't Republicans?

..."The Contract with America was a document released by the United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign. Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxon, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

The Contract with America was introduced six weeks before the 1994 Congressional election, the first mid-term election of President Bill Clinton's Administration, and was signed by all but two of the Republican members of the House and all of the Party's non-incumbent Republican Congressional candidates.

Proponents say the Contract was revolutionary in its commitment to offering specific legislation for a vote, describing in detail the precise plan of the Congressional Representatives, and marked the first time since 1918 that a Congressional election had been run broadly on a national level. Furthermore, its provisions represented the view of many conservative Republicans on the issues of shrinking the size of government, promoting lower taxes and greater entrepreneurial activity, and both tort reform and welfare reform.

When the Republicans gained a majority of seats in the 104th Congress, the Contract was seen as a triumph for Party leaders such as Minority Whip Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and for the American conservative movement..."

It will decimate the greatest fighting force on earth, undermining unit cohesion, morale and discipline - the lifeblood of a successful military. It is an act of national suicide.

How ironic, with your support of gays in the military.
