My Decline’s Better Than Yours Is, My Hell’s Better Than Yours

Rod Dreher writes what many of you are talking about these days even if you do not admit: what caused the current decline and is there any hope to reverse it? (there is, I call it [r]epublicanism)

Frank Rich’s original “Declinist” screed is here

Copycat, Batman theater killer distracts cops with backpack filled with Pell Mell boxes and empty Skittle wrappers

The CIA is tripling its efforts to “get to know Syria” apparently anticipating the collapse of there Assad regime and our role in “replacing or shaping” its successor? For WHAT purpose!? On WHOSE orders?

I remain confused as to why book publishers continue cranking out books vilifying one political ideology over another; what exactly is the point? Are we going to reach and event horizon moment when we round up all those “elite Leftists” and exile them to… Australia? If you want to write a book on why you should read the Great Books how many pages are required? (In response to K-Lo’s rave review of Dennis Prager’s latest “America the Great” screed)

How does “America [have] moral strength [because of our] exceptionalism” as this writer claims Mitt Romney exuded at the VFW today? Outspending the known universe on military hardware then using it for political and monetary gain at home is “exceptional”? Does that mean the Chinese could become “exceptional” by outspending us on military expenses?

In watching the Romney speech at the WFW I was struck by the “golf clap” applause the vets gave their prospective CIC, AmConMag’s Daniel Larison was similarly under impressed

What is the meat and taters part of “testing the resolve of the United States” when it comes to foreign policy? Mitt Romney seems determined to repeater Bush/Kerry with Romney, unfortunately, playing Kerry

Apple has a BAD quarter with its profits soaring 24% and revenues nearly the same-how much is enough when you are beating the nearest competitor by country miles and WHY do “analysts” predictions matter?!

Mish: Will the man who will rip up the EU agreement become the next leader of Italy or Spain or…?

Psst: Someone tell Mitt Romney that China is ALREADY collapsing its vaunted economy so if he bashes it more he can take credit for what the Red Chinese will be truly to blame for!

Why do parents LET their kids fall for these “student loan” programs and get $110,000 in debt for a degree they may never use?
