Which seems to be the theme of your previous post titled “No Argument”.

And remember–the Democrats don’t have any big ideas (other than big government).

[...] Here's a bit of confirmation that doubling down on America is not a bad idea at all. We lead the world – by a lot – in productivity. So says the much-vaunted-by-the-left United Nations. GENEVA – American workers stay longer in the office, at the factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe and most other rich nations, and they produce more per person over the year.

Stop by a middle school and sit in on the gifted and talented class for an hour. You’ll walk away glowing with confidence in the future of the United States.

“America is in decline” seems to be a periodic fashion among the intelligentsia. I remember the 70′s and 80s when it was thought Japan would just eventually buy the US, or USSR had us beat. We all know how that turned out. This country has too many natural advantages –including its people– to go into long-term decline any time soon.

The quickest cure for a gloomy national mood is to stop paying attention to the MSM purveyors of doom, I think. They have an economic interest in making everything look as bad as possible.

this negative defeatist crap comes from the same people who gave us Jimmy Carter and the fall of Saigon.

this crowd thought the USSR was the future and capitalism was dead.

it’s wishful thinking on their part.

they are postmodernists who want the USA to get its comeuppance.

they were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

i’ll admit that it would be easier for us to defeat the enemy if they didn’t have a fifth column of bleeding heart lefties ruling the academy and the MSM and the state department and the cia.

but that’ll just slow us down a little.

we will win.

the American Revolution was the last great and good revolution.

the one’s which came after were all reactionary and backward-looking.

the future belongs to those who fight for liberty.

the future is ours.

no place on Earth matches our wealth, diversity of ideas and peoples, our grasp or our reach.

the only thing which can stop us is that fifth column.
