So we’re not facing “decline”. We’re already in it. What comes next is the “fall” – sudden, devastating, off the cliff. That’s why this election is consequential – because the Obama-Pelosi-Reid spending spree made what was vague and distant explicit and immediate. A lot of the debate about America’s date with destiny has an airy-fairy beyond-the-blue-horizon mid-century quality, all to do with long-term trends and other remote indicators. In reality, we’ll be lucky to make it through the short-term in sufficient shape to get finished off by the long-term.
– Politics with a brain = Mark Steyn. This recent series on his web site reviews the state of the nation, and why Tea Partiers are not attached at the hip with the GOP (as much of the progressive media argue ad infinitum). No they are looking for much more fundamental change, which is our only real hope. tp://www.steynonline.com/content/view/3540/26/
