So I guess republicans need to get it together and give us something different. You gave us Romney who was also a liar. But neither Obama or Romney are morons. I think the moron is the one who wrote this article. Since Romney lied, are you saying stupid people voted for him Maybe you should choose your words more carefully

Here is a column from 9/2004

"Decline of American Greatness" by Elaine Kamarck

2005:
America's Engineered Decline

2007:
The Erosion of Rights | Center for American Progress

2007:
A New American Dark Age - Dark Ages America, Morris Berman

Decline?

Ha! Buffy Von Bernstein and I were just at the tennis and golf club last weekend. Hubert Henley IV had just purchased a new Rolls Royce. Seems like everyone at the club has been realizing record profits and bonuses. Mrs. Cooper just received as a gift a 10 carat necklace from her husband.

I simply don't understand where all this talk of decline is coming from. My friends and I have had double digit income gains since the recession ended. Hasn't everyone else? Maybe they should work harder. After all, EVERYONE can be rich if they just tried or were smart enough to be born into better families.


One thing we can agree on, however, is that we need lower taxes and less regulation. We are the job creators, after all. I mean, there must be at LEAST 3 bartenders at the club whose employment is directly related to Miles Masterson's drinking habits alone!

Heck, we had such articles back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I suppose there is good money to be made predicting the 'decline of America'.

Sounds like a typo: I think texdav mean to say "backhoe".

Deal with it.

I post what I see.

And the Obamabots are out in force.

Keep defending all his failed policies.

Its comedy I would pay to see.
