>> I have been thinking the same thing. America’s best days may be behind it. I think it is only a matter of time.
People have been saying the same thing for hundreds of years. People said the same thing during the Civil War, again during the Great Depression, and again during the Cold War.
It is times like these that American exceptionalism is truly proven. Where other societies may crumble — we seize opportunity.
If conservatives truly believe the United States is an exceptional nation under God, that Capitalism is an exceptional economic model, that the American Constitution is an exceptional form of government, that the American people are rugged individualists derived from the American pioneering spirit — then conservatives must come to the conclusion that America will endure, as we have for the last 220 years.
We have triumphed over far worse than this.

Only if we can prevent McAmnesty. Amnesty brings us to the same Brave New World that is promised by Hussein.
‘America’s best days may be behind it. I think it is only a matter of time.”
Try reading some history. It will give you a perspective bigger than only what you can see in front of you.
There have been cycles of prosperity, chaos, war, and destruction throughout all of history, and throughout the history of this nation, too.
There is an interesting book called The Fourth Turning which lays out some interesting principles for the future. Yes, there is a crisis looming right now, and a contested election may be the trigger. But it’s not the first time we’ve been faced with something like that, and won’t be the last.
Not if McCain gets his way in regards to amnesty for up to 20 million illegal aliens.
If he and the likes of him get their way, it will change this country forever.
The verbiage in his amnesty package that was literally buried under a mountain of legal speak was a clause that would allow for millions of illegals to file their taxes and claim the earned income tax credit if their verifiable income was less than a certain amount.
This would amount to hundreds of millions of our tax dollars immediately being paid out to those who broke our laws in coming here and by obtaining false documents.
This government is out of control, almost to the point of thinking that there are many hell bent on the destruction of our country and the middle class.
Democrats and Republicans alike are to blame. It's time for a 3rd party of conservative minded folks.
If we keep fishin from the same ol pond, were gonna keep catchin the same ol big mouth bass.
