#1 ..."the United States can no longer take obeisance for granted."

I got news for all these geniuses: their predecessors were writing the same things in 1977. I'm wondering when exactly this obeisance was taking place, because it sure hasn't been in my adult lifetime. I'm beginning to wonder if the golden myth of American supremacy during the Eisenhower years wasn't a bunch of crap, too. Any of you old guys know?

#3 Trailing Wife, we're now at the point of sending financial aid to the country that performed the 9/11 attacks because it's the only way we're allowed to actually send supplies through to where we're fighting them in a proxy war in Afghanistan.

If that isn't a decline, I don't know what is.

#4 That's why Afghanistan isn't important. We're funding the same people in Pakistan we are trying to kill in Afghanistan. Better to ship enough weapons via FSU Stans to the Northern Alliance and let them deal the traditional way with the Pashtoons and any frisky Pakis.

#5 SOCIALIST-GOVTIST-COMMIE "REGRESSION" goes GLOBAL AND BEYOND, as per from LOCAL-NATIONAL, i.e. "POTEMKINIST" PC APPEARANCE/FALSE FACADE of strength and prosperity disguises belies underlying, serious or catastrophic weakness(es).

As a GUAM Library visitor reminded yesterday, MARXISM = COMMUNISM kept RUSSIA-CHINA SO WEAK THAT IN REALITY THE COMMIES NEED "BOURGEOSIE" PEACE, NOT MARX-PREMISED WAR OR REVOLUTION, TO REALISTICALLY ACHIEVE ANY "PROGRESS" + MARXIST-SOCIE "UTOPIANISM", ETC.

* TOPIX/FARK > VATICAN reports another substantial drop in the overall number of PRIESTS + NUNS.

By this aboesame[extended]logic or scope, the PAN-SECULARISTS in reality need GOD + RELIGION + NON-SECULAR BASED MORALISM-ETHICS TO ACHIEVE ANY AND ALL OF THE SECULAR AGENDA. notsomuch ATHEISM, SECUL-ATHEIST SCIENTIFISM, etc,

IOW, "TO KILL THE MESSIAH/SAVIOR IS TO KILL THE SUN". Iff I'm reading and comprehending my Bible, other Religious-Moralist texts, Mythic, and differens Pert/Personage Opinions-Commentaries correctly, to include vv Secularists, IFF THE SO-CALLED [World]HEAVENLY MESSIAH/SAVIOR IS DESTROYED OR OTHERWISE PREVENTED FROM FULFILLING HIS DIVINE MISSION, THE NON-SECULAR SUN = UNIVERSAL NATURAL SCIENS FORCES WILL BEGIN TO CATASTROPHICALLY DETERIORATE/WEAKEN UNTO NATURAL = SECUL SCIENTIFIC DESTRUCTION - EMPIRICALLY, MEASURABLY, QUANTIFIABLY BUT NO LESS DIVINICALLY OR GREATER.

Perhaps as best illustrated by the post 9-11 MOUDIAN/OSAMA BIN LADEN "END-TIMES" ISLAMIST APOCALYPSE, GOD WILL NOT ALLOW MANKIND TO SUCCEED OR EXPLORE DEEP SPACE WIDOUT GOD-FAITH???

Sub-IOW, BY ANY MEASURE "OWG AMERIKA" NEEDS MORE GOD-FAITH, NOT LESS.

In the 1960's or early 1970's, did young Vietnam soldier-veteran OLIVER STONE know about his future movie JFK, or 9-11 + Dubya + Osama + Moud, etc.???

SECULARISM + SECULAR SCIENCE SAYS "NO", ERGO SUPPORT DEFECTIVE NON-KNOWING SECULARISM = SECUL SCIENCE??? DON'T THINK SO.
