The entire world is in decline but America is keeping its position inside the downward spiral.
How many times can you substitute “Rome” for “America” there?
Rome was authoritarian after transitioning from republic to empire, and it did last about five centuries. That does not mean “America” will, necessarily.
Our nation is in severe decline.
one huge sign it is in decline...BHO
The US is declining rapidly, just not as rapidly as some other countries.
Comments? Yes.
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams
We have lost our spiritual compass in this country. We are in decline.
I was born in 1965.
My personal opinion is that I was born near the apex of American Exceptionalism.
In my life, I have watched the decay of this nation, and I have grieved...
Anyone who sees Obama in office and says America is not “in decline” is simply CRAZY! ... :-) ...
The rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The author sounds like some Pollyanna numbers cruncher, attempting to convince all that everything is just peachy...And it is for the top 8% or so.
Those capable of critical thought, can see right through Pollyanna.
If the culture is a fetid sewer without morality and religious freedom, what good is all the rest?
Excellent. Agree 100%. The only thing in decline in America is leftist pride.
More signs in sky point to coming collapse

Our country has been in an economic depression since 2008.
LOL
I just had a conversation with a friend about this and then I see this article
Can you immigrate to wascist countries like Japan, China or Indonesia? Heck no. They want their countrymen doing the work.
You can go there as an employee but, not to emigrate.
No, those people want to come to Murica, Australia and Europe.
I’ve never heard of anyone emigrating, en masse, to Guatemala, Brazil or anywhere in South America. Emigration to South America ended with WWII.
Now, they do end up in Canada, often on their way to the U.S and is that really so bad?
So they settled and didn’t make it to Murica.
Canada has the per capita wage as the USA @ $54,000+.
Cuz for sure no one was trying to get to Mexico, whose average per capita is a pitiful $9,400 a year....not much more than China or many other Asian countries.
Coke, McDonald’s, Levi’s, Hollywood? We got it and they want it.
Need help during a disaster? Yeah, we’ll be there 1st and won’t even send you a bill. Then, our citizens will send more aid dollars, services and products than all other countries combined.
America the beautiful...
America is hanging-on, but our national debt has gone up 70% under 0bama. I notice they didn’t mention that. The next president is going to have to deal with that little gem.
The nations of the earth all deal with entropy in their own way, some more successfully than others. Here in America, we are blessed with a high capacity to overcome entropy but, despite that, the system has increased in complexity and it is increasingly difficult to find the energy to maintain order. As such, chaos is creeping into our lives and we see it as a general decline.
To overcome this decline, we need either A.) more energy or B.) less complexity or, better yet, C.) more energy and less complexity.
Bump for reading later.
(when is the last large scale conflict the Chinese had?)
********
Korean war? They were still in the stoneage and they stopped America.
They can absorb unlimited losses-America cannot.
