Reversing America´s Decline
American Thinker, by Jared E. Peterson

Original Article

Posted By:magnante, 11/27/2012 9:23:50 AM

The ongoing and not-so-gradual loss of American Civilization is the result of two related phenomena: the invasion of our country from the southern border, and our elites´ culture of self-loathing that oozed out of the noxious slime of the 60´s. Western Europe is rapidly losing its own civilization for identical reasons (with invaders more poisonous than America´s, and its own reproductive decadence, thrown in to expedite the process). The first phenomenon -- the invasions -- wouldn´t be happening in either place had they not been preceded by the second

I am afraid that it is irreversible. Ignorance can be remedied, stupidity can´t. Institutional stupidity is now the new normal. All civilizations collapse, and so will ours. That time is fast approaching.

..yes, and we have all the guns thanks to the liberals desire to disarm themselves.

Pat Buchanon sounded the alarm on the erosion of American greatness in his 1992 campaign and the books that have followed.

Any culture has an absorbtion rate for new arrivals.

The faux sophistication of the coasts and to some extent, the moral corruption that accompanies wealth and elitism have resulted in a disdain for the values that accompanied this nation at its zenith; we are either at a nadir or the end of our run.

It wouldn´t kill us to get back to Church on a regular basis.

I am not a parent. Watching two-children families, one has to wonder how we got it so wrong that offspring hate the niceties we gave them growing up that they took for granted. These young psuedo-enviormentalist accuse US of wanton pollution as they wrangle to have the keys for the SUV.

In the end, it is our fault for not spending more quality time as parents, paying attention to school system they attend, and giving them a moral compass to follow.

Knowing the future is tough. I don´t agree that the high immigration from the south is poisonous. I agree that we hurt ourselves by mismanaging it.

The absorption rate premise is a tool, a way of studying a process. The rate limit is not knowable, no magic calculation exists.

Our policy of discouraging assimilation by immigrants has been madness. We end up with large neighborhoods of one ethnicity where life is no different from the African or Asian locale where the immigrants came from.

We might as well divide the US into a thousand or ten thousand tribal reservations having nothing in common.

I regard Washington as a process too. A failed one that increasingly drains any good from the remainder of the nation.

Our masters in the Imperial City prosper now as never before. Meanwhile the rest of the nation struggles and staggers. Yet the population fails to draw the logical conclusion.

Yes we need to go back to church; yes we need to get involved in our schools; yes we need to support our founding principles as in a strong military. If churches are not teaching the complete doctrines from studying in Greek & Hebrew they will teach incorrect doctrine, do good to get to Heaven & give boy scout "I love everyione" messages. If parents do not teach manners,morals & principles at home & marry the opposite sex the children will wander lost. If schools do not teach our wonderful history correctly children will never know what FREEDOM they really enjoy. God will not put up with this crap - even history should teach the stupid brainwashed sheep by example. II Chronicles 7:14

A thousand times YES. One of the best articles I´ve read in some time. There was a time when we had the backbone to stand up for ourselves, and the article mentions some of the great battles in Europe that preserved our culture. Today, we would not be able to defend ourselves against a new threat, simply because we´ve become our own enemies. Political correctness, multi-culturalism , and leftist indoctrination in the schools has effectively neutered us. Although its late in the 4th quarter and we´re way behind, the game is not over and we can still pull out a miracle and reassert ourselves again.

Some Days You Just
Feel Vindicated

When I arrived home late last night after attending the George Zimmerman trial in Sanford, Florida, I watched the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs -- great game! -- just as I predicted they would, but it was not until I checked my email inbox that I really began to feel vindicated. First, I was alerted to a series of articles about a new documentary simply titled TWA Flight 800 -- that has the very real potential to reopen the investigation into the destruction of this plane off the coast of Long Island in 1996.

Leftus Ignoramus

Mary Landrieu last Thursday showed what would be, for many of us, appalling ignorance. Debating against the need to build a fence to keep out illegal immigrants -- a proposal which Landrieu had earlier supported -- the Louisiana senator said to Senator Thune from South Dakota: (snip) "the Senator from South Dakota, who only has a border with Canada that is quite different." Consider just how profoundly ignorant that was for any grownup, to say nothing of a senator who chairs the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.

Impeach Eric Holder

As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of ´73? There may indeed be impeachment hearings this summer, but not for President Obama; we may very well see that the House Judiciary Committee convenes hearings on the impeachment of the Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder.

Barry and Shelley, accompanied by colleens Malia and Sasha, have landed in Belfast. While Dad "faces off" with Vladimir Putin over Syria at the G8 Summit in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, the wife and kids flew south to visit Dublin´s Trinity College in hopes of learning all about Dad´s Irish roots. Excited to find out that her daughters are related to white men of European descent, Michelle and the girls perused the Irish ancestors´ birth registry

   

 



 
Baby, She´s Back!
Sarah Palin´s Debut
Back on Fox News

I caught Sarah Palin on Fox & Friends this morning. Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air! While listening to Palin speak on various issues and Obama´s scandals, something occurred to me. Palin on TV fills a desperately needed void. Sarah Palin communicates in plain English, free of the usual guarded TV political speak. Palin fearlessly nailed Obama and company with the truth. Folks, I cannot express how good and hopeful I felt.

The Consequences of Liberalism

Here we are at the midpoint of the Obama years, assailed on every side by looming consequences of liberal hubris and liberal corruption. But the Obama Scandals don´t get me all riled up with partisan outrage. What´s the surprise? If liberals in the media, in the academy, and in politics stigmatize conservatives as monsters, racists, sexists, homophobes, why be surprised that little Lois Lerner wants to please her teacher? Why wouldn´t the Democrats want to do immigration reform and never mind the consequences to low-paid Americans?

A Warped Prism

There exists a certain real pathos inherent in the NSA´s PRISM program -- and not only because of its attempt to undermine American principles. PRISM, along with its doubtlessly enormous support structure, is based on a worldview that no longer exists among serious intellects (snip) PRISM is much like the other elements of Barack Obama´s great progressive crusade -- ObamaCare, quantitative easing, green economics -- elaborate and expensive systems apt to cause a lot of misery and waste while accomplishing nothing. Liberals like to boast that they are the rational party. But it´s an obsolete rationality

TWA Flight 800 investigators break silence
in new documentary, claim original
conclusion about cause of crash is wrong

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

   

 

  


 
Edward Snowden Is In The
Process Of Destroying Any Support
And Sympathy He Has Built Up

Business Insider, by Brett LoGiurato    Original Article

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

The IRS Immigration Fraud Scandal

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

The Obamas never miss an opportunity to mingle with the stars and during a two-day trip in Dublin, who better to have lunch with than iconic Irish rocker and philanthropist Bono? First Lady Michelle along with daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, started Tuesday with an hour-long visit to picturesque Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains--but the two girls looked like they would have rather slept in at their luxury hotel. Glendalough is famous for its Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin, the hermit priest. After appearing less than thrilled on Monday while viewing Medieval manuscripts

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s
