"One man with courage makes a majority." - Andrew Jackson

world does not mean that we have to suffer, those things are relative, our present economic condition will, IMO not last long.

"Nothing works like freedom, Nothing succeeds like liberty"

I watched Fareed Zacharias on Washington Journal, and he has written about how the rest of the world is getting involved in energy resources and monetary currency like the US used to do. The rest of the world has not sat still. They have learned from studying how the US grew, and they are copying this behavior. Meanwhile, the US is resting on their laurels. The US is not creating new sources of energy. The US is not keeping the currency of the US dollar strong in the international. Why? There isn't an answer found by blaming the rest of the world. We are inflicting the wounds on ourselves with our political correctness.

The purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.
Dr. Theodore Dalrymple

The imaginary part comes from people who have never much liked what America represents and the real part comes from the fact that in a world of billions of economically competitive people you can't always expect to be #1 in everything.

One good step that America could take would be to never allow the electrical power distribution network across a large area of this country to fall into the hands of a foreign company like National Grid, who are marching in lockstep with the Kennedy/Patrick Axis of Attrition in terms of electrical power and trying to convince people that less power at higher prices equals a better standard of living.

But somehow that deal got made, and several Northeastern states are still suffering from it. Ted Kennedy didn't want windfarms off of Hyannisport and Deval Patrick doesn't want any new power plants built in Massachusetts -- EVER. And therefore all National Grid has to do is keep distributing ever smaller amounts of power at ever-increasing prices.

This is Al Gore's legacy, and it's no surprise to know that National Grid is a British company, not an American one.

They suck in every way that it's possible to suck, and I can tell you that because I live in the state with the seventh highest electricity prices in the country, and I am utterly dependent on National Grid's wobbly network and its "I'm on the other side of the ocean, bub" manner of dealing with the Colonies while taking their money.

The architects of this deal should be in the stockade.

is key in on the malaise. Explain to people that it is government getting in our way, regardless of who is in charge that is a big problem. We should take our message of reduced governance out now while people will be receptive to it.

You need to cite Fareed Zakaria in this article. Half of it is just you rewriting parts of this excerpt from his book.

I thought pilgrim had caught on earlier, but benjjneb outed me fairly quickly. You guys are good and well read indeed.

My intentions of writing this piece have drawn the exact conclusions I had hoped for. IMHO Fareed Zakaria and the rest of the liberal media that write that gibberish WANT America to fail, they WANT the world to look at us at the former "Superpower", when in fact we are still the leader of the world.

When things happen, the world still turns to us for help, as it should be.

We are still the greatest nation on earth, and I can not foresee us ever falling from that roll for a very long time.

You guys responded with exactly the attitude that makes this nation so great, and I am glad you are all part of it.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

The USA is more respected in the world today than it was eight years ago. Back then we were the weak horse UBL thought he could attack with impunity. Now, Iran is surrounded, al qaeda is mostly cave bound or crammed into final stand locales in Iraq and Pakistan where they are the enemies of the locals. No nation openly harbours terrorists, much less own a terror state, except for one nation, i.e.

Iran

and it is surrounded on 3 sides and just had a desperate visit from the Iraqi govt begging them to shut down the insurgent QYDS training, lest the USA attack Iran on Iran's soil.

The USA out performed all of Europe in GDP, employment, etc in this decade by far.

China? Our growth in less than 3 years equals the whole GDP of China, which is facing an abortion induced shortage of males and young people soon.

When tsunamis hit, the world cries out USA, not China.

France, the UK, London, Germany and all of eastern europe and India have elected bush like conservatives since 2001.

The US is no 1.

We are being tested.

We will pass the test.

Never mistake the leftist world media for the people of the world.

Their feet speak!

"One man with courage makes a majority." - Andrew Jackson

that follow are in stark contrast to Chicken Little - I mean Illinidiva.

This right here is what we grown ups do. We take a challenge head on with the optimism that we can solve the problem.

I don't think America is going down the tubes just yet, nor do I believe that the rest of the world is going to leave us in their dust. But two things do concern me about the long term success of America:

1. Declining interest in science and engineering.

2. Peak Oil production and the lack of a "plan B" for energy.

These are not indicators of a declining US, but a successfully developing world. Thanks in no small part to US leadership and example, we see nations across the world rising out of poverty and knocking on the gates of the first world. There is simply less disparity between countries.
