#1 Excellent article, and a mantra heard here frequently.

#2 It will matter when your city is nuked by an iranian or north-korean nuke. It will matter if shariah law is enforced in America and your daughter suffers female genital mutilation. But you will be happy about it because Congress and federal bureucrats will no longer be making unnecessary laws.

So go and vote for a Democrat!

#3 Folks felt the same way during the Carter years. Things can change, and when it comes it comes in a big wave of pissed off voters that the politicians have to pay attention to. I'm not sure I see a Reagan but I certainly see a wave building and hope the Republicans have the moxi to surf that wave.

#4 Drudge right now has a photo of the Pope lecturing Congress on immigration. In the photo, Boehner is weeping. We can gather 2 things from this. The first is that the tide is against us. The second is that current Republican leadership can't and won't stop it.

With Perry and Walker out of the race, there is not a single Republican candidate out of the 15 remaining who even conceivably might do something to slow the rate of decline, much less reverse it.

I keep hearing that our guys are not as bad as their guys. Reminds me of a quote from many time socialist candidate for president Norman Thomas: “The difference between Democrats and Republicans is--Democrats have accepted some ideas of Socialism cheerfully, while Republicans have accepted them reluctantly.”

Well, slow isn't good enough for me. If we're going off the cliff then put your foot down and get on with it. At least I'll have a chance to do something about it, rather than try to push the problem off on my kids.
