Most of the great civilizations were not conquered by invaders but collapsed from within from the weight of their own corruption. This country will be no different.
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.
We are far down the list towards bondage.
I think we are between the abundance and selfishness phases.
Demography is destiny.
God has inspired the Catholic Church to hang onto scripture and the teachings of the apostles. That is why faithful Catholics will reject contraception, even if the message is lost on Spain and Italy.

Which makes me wonder how late in life is it smart to start a family? Sarkozy is pushing 60 and his wife had a daughter recently.

Not necessarily. The parents who have to bear the cost of raising daughters, only to see them marry off into another family, won't be around to benefit from the next generation. In reality, it's the sons who should want other families to have lots of daughters. However, they're not making the decisions.
This is happening in the Jewish community where the Leftist, secular Jews are have no children or one (possibly two) at the most while religious, Orthodox (and conservative) Jews are having at least three or more. The Haredi and other Chassidic sects have even bigger families.
The fight for this nation starts in the womb.
If Conservatives have at least three or more children and raise them to be conservative in all areas of life the odds are that most of the time they’ll be conservative, too.

Quite right.
America no longer resembles the America that I grew up in.
Add to your list a dose of The Peter Principle.
While I now live in a third world country, I know what to expect, and I do not see a deepening spiral as in America.
I am quite thankful that I left the USSA for good in 2004.
Even with defeat of the Marxist president, the country that I grew up in will not likely recover. The Marxist educational system, and the Communist MSM will see to that.
The same is probably true for much of Europe.
Britain has already become a cesspool, on top of the southern European countries.
I left central Europe in Jan. 2009.
They happen to be better off then western Europe.
I divested myself from all US financial dealings, except for social security, which may not last. Even without that, I think I can survive my final years.
I know some of the younger among you are shaking your fist at me, but as Rush says, I live in realville.
Exceptional article. Thank you!
Except, of course, that the above is a false statement. Children are a treasure far beyond the transient toys. People that do not have children usually end up regretting it. I know quite a few people that regret not having children, but few that regret having them.
Ping for later
Israel was founded as a socialist Jewish nation. Now it looks like it’ll end up as an Orthodox Jewish nation.
Bingo! The shift in the secular to the religious demographic is happening rapidly there. It’s also happening here with a quickness, too! This is scaring the Left like nothing else can.
Some folks here are more optimistic than I am...I see us in the “apathy to dependence” phase.
Don’t know why you would think so. I considered doing a missions trip myself, but my life has gone in a very different direction.
I’d rather spend my life fighting it out here than see America go down.
Blessings sir, and I pray it all works out for you.
As a corollary - Homosexuals and Leftists do not reproduce, which is why they seek to control education, media and the "culture." They always need new converts to their cause.
“Id rather spend my life fighting it out here than see America go down.”

I understand your patriotism.
While that is honorable, I often reference back to the founding fathers.
They left their countries for many of the same reasons that expats left America.
It is one thing when a country is being invaded by a foreign power, but totally different when taken over by its own people.
You will be fighting your own.
Who is going to take over or change the MSM?
Who is going to take over public education, when it is your very own people running it?
Nations are like people. They are born, they grow, and yes, they die.
Well, I’m a teacher, so. :)
I love my job wouldn’t do anything else if I had any say in it.
