		<description><![CDATA[&quot;his non-intervention will result in a greater number of people who give up on him.&quot; 
 
As opposed to some feel-good bombing? As another article here today suggests, there&#039;s no &quot;good&quot; options with regard to Syria, and he&#039;s essentially saying what any president would be forced to say. 
 
Domestically, he is hamstrung for the most part, which I would think you would think is good, and it shows (to mix metaphors a bit) his Achilles Heel: his lack of Washington experience. The man needed either a dose of FDR &quot;I don&#039;t give a f....&quot; or LBJ&#039;s &quot;Let&#039;s make a deal&quot; but he has neither. And THAT is what will cause the disillusionment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, people make too much money off the invader-immigrant population.  That&#039;s why people who talk about fences and deportation always sound so quaint.   
   
I think as life gets less and less cushy, people&#039;s priorities will shift by necessity. The US is ripe for a reckoning--whether we are talking about the unsustainable costs of government or the unsustainable costs of health care or education or whatever. Sooner or later, these things will be staring us in the face and no rhetoric will disguise or deflect from their reality, regardless of where the ideology is. They are large scale problems and will have to be dealt with large scale.   
   
Smaller scale, though, I notice a growing trend toward encouraging entrepreneurism and civic volunteerism and the study of marketable &quot;hard&quot; skills among parents my age in my community. Not nearly enough, but far more than even 10 years ago. People can sense, if not see, the writing on the wall, and know these are (imo) the only things that will help their kids reach success and therefore, are the only things that will preserve society. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some very thoughtful comments on this site. 
What encourages me is how much better informed conservatives are concerning the reality of our corrupt government compared to just four years ago. When Obama took office we discerned the liberal tactics and the biased media, but the first moves from him and his administration left us glazed; we still maintained some notion of fair play and believed if we just exposed the truth, the truth would triumph. Then it began to dawn on us, that what was happening had nothing to do with the truth (except to twist it or silence it), or adhering to the Constitution, or holding our political officials accountable, or even expecting any of the mainstream media to actually do the work of investigative reporting; America has been asleep for decades while the insidious communist usurpers have been invading our beloved country. But we are awake now. If we were blissfully ignorant of our rights as Americans, most of us now know a heck of a lot more about the Constitution and our Bill of Rights, and if even half of the citizenry feels as angry about this satanic over-reaching gang as I do, it&#039;s not going to be as easy as these criminals are hoping. I also believe in God&#039;s almighty intervention. Don&#039;t go quietly into that good night. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama is the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. His glib lack of substance is a reflection of the absence of the right man in the right place at the right time. 
I have watched this decline for decades. It has always been a political decline. Two political parties have squeezed the American people into their agenda for their parties&#039; preservation. 
The British ruling class is blamed for the fall of the British Empire. Our ruling class has become the elite politicians, preserved in power by government money,  kept in office by protecting laws, Promoted by friendly Media, and assured of being considered leaders and statesmen. 
We have the Democrats, using a phony democracy, and couldn&#039;t find a real democracy with both hands if one was in their hip pocket. The Republicans, who can&#039;t figure out the origin of the name of their party; and, if one listens to their words, believe they live in a democracy. 
Is it any wonder our Republic crumbles while we elect and reelect its enemies?

		<description><![CDATA[I disagree with the article as well.  The reason for Britain&#039;s decline was not that she failed to hold onto unmanageable and unproductive territories, but rather that she failed to maintain her own innovation and advanced manufacturing capacity.    And unfortunately, America is walking lock-step with Britain down the path of self-destruction.

The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence, but rarely is.   Innovation and ingenuity takes hard work, and has nothing to do with chasing mirages. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across some Muslims site (in 2010 or 2011) where some  left comments &quot;Thank you Obama for doing great job for us&quot;.  It is treason from the top of Power.  Look at who are his tzars!  Look at how protective this WH and so-called Dem&#039;s party establishment to Islmists in our country.  BHO made our country much weaker than it was in any time in history after civil war.  Islamists goal is to build world wide Caliphate.  They openly saying again and again &quot;Islam will dominate in the world&quot;.  Obama want to be King of that Caliphate or one of the most powerful in that Islamic empire.  All his past he deleted including who paid for his education in Harward and ....   Reach Saudi as many stated?  We people have no idea who he is.  MSM did everything to cover him  but only those who are sitting on petro-dollars.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama was and is bluffing about Syria when he talks about doing something if someone over there crosses one of his &quot;red lines.&quot; It&#039;s obvious every time he moves the line.  
 
He won&#039;t intervene in Syria because he doesn&#039;t want to bear the kind of burden of dissent that George W. Bush had to live with, and his non-intervention will result in a greater number of people who give up on him. Unfortunately, many of that same group will be antiwar types so the Syria fiasco will not have very long legs.  
 
Just remember, he&#039;s wounded, not dead (metaphorically speaking, of course). He&#039;s still powerful when it comes to domestic issues. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama operates as a bottom feeder Chicago ward Demorat pol.  He is, as a textbook sociopath, all over issues and positions based on nothing more than his own interests.  Any deaths, morbid and mortal casualties of his policies and actions have no impact or affect on him.  They are merely pawns and objects. 
 
Since he is everywhere on issues, he is nowhere.  No principle, no morality, nothing but attainment of power.  
 
 He is very easy to understand.  Hear that, Bill Oaf Reilly.  I make it simple and No Spin for you to understand. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[IRAQ: The absence of a status-of-forces agreement was because of the unwillingness of Iraq to grant US soldiers immunity from local law. Obama was right to reject such conditions. 
 
AFGHANISTAN: However clumsy Obama&#039;s Afghan policy has been, withdrawal in 2014 is preferable to open-ended commitment, where US lives and treasure continue to be sacrificed for the unattainable goal of civilizing an Islamic hellhole whose people are largely uninterested in becoming civilized. 
 
INDIA: Responsibility for the 2 million killed in post-independence confessional violence should not be assigned to Britain, Had the British done everything right in preparing for independence, the violence would likely have occurred under ANY circumstance, given Muslim supremacism and their historic persecution of Hindus. 
 
Ziotruth is absolutely right....it is Obama&#039;s domestic/fiscal policies that are becoming the great facilitators of America&#039;s decline.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The decline of our beloved nation has been coming on for decades.  The low information voter who elected Obama has been with us for a very long period of time, and if any blame is to be placed as to the cause of our decline, it is the basic erosion of our educational system.  Our Republic required well educated citizens if it was to work as intended but our educated elites failed the Republic.  Obama is just the last of the treasonous politicians to steer our country towards its demise.  I believe we are in an accelerated decline and it is unstoppable. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I disagree with this article, not so much with its premise&#8212;that there are signposts of decline to be seen&#8212;but that those signposts are to be seen in foreign policy rather than the U.S.A.&#039;s internal affairs. Media malfeasance, the corruption of academe and, above all, the re-election of a man who supports infanticide, having enticed the people to ignore it all through a combination of &lt;i&gt;panem et circenses&lt;/i&gt; and identity politics, are the clearest and most unambiguous signs of going wrong. 
 
The comparison to Britain&#039;s wane is also instructive. Colonial rule, where a subjugated populace is kept under an occupation, can never go on forever, and it was only a matter of time until war-weary Britain gave up all her overseas possessions, just as France did as well. The road to Britain&#039;s decline can be traced to two internal mistakes: 
 
1) Right after the war, giving conservative Churchill the boot and embracing socialism. Thatcher only temporarily halted the decline here. 
2) Having given up her colonial possessions, Britain made the huge (perhaps fatal) mistake of letting all her former subjects come to reside on British soil. 
 
Same for France: It could well be argued that the French couldn&#039;t hold on to Algeria any longer, but after leaving Algeria they made the great mistake of allowing multitudes of North African Muslims to reside in France. (See also Boumedienne&#039;s quote about conquering the former colonial powers with the wombs of their invader-immigrant women.) 
 
In America today, the expectation of cradle-to-grave care by the State (thus writ large), elevated into a &quot;right&quot; by the Marxists who have monopolized the media and education, has corrupted the former independent American soul. The decision made after 9/11 to go on nation-building expeditions abroad proved to be nothing but a waste of men, money and materials, totally ineffective in defending the homeland against Islam when set against Bush&#039;s, and now Obama&#039;s, issuing of free visas for students from Saudi Arabia. 
 
In order to reverse this decline, the courses of action must be a direct response to the problem: 
 
1) Criminalization of Marxism as a treasonous ideology that endangers the well-being of the nation as well as nation-state, 
2) The cessation of all expeditions abroad and, in its stead, the adoption of a policy of mass expulsion to deal with invader-immigrant populations threatening the safety of the nation. (&quot;The State As Its Nation&#039;s Castle&quot;) 
 
You needn&#039;t tell me of the unlikeliness of those steps being carried out as things stand today; but the first step before all, the step to be taken if there is to be any hope at all, is to know the correct nature of the problem and think up remedies that really address it. ]]></description>
