Al, > This is the only developed country left that fails to address serious social issues precisely because of retrogrades who share your beliefs. LOL, I think arrogant liberals who equate bigger government with charity, i.e. the Nanny State, have a lot to do with the deteriorating soul of the nation. That goes especially for liberals who think they can invent their own brand of relativistic morality, then brand traditionalists as "retrogrades." > I wonder what you Jesus would say about your vision of America the "superpower" Superpowers come and go. The Middle East was once dominant, but now they're reduced to killing each other. Europe was once a dominant power but now they're struggling to make themselves relevant once again. America will likely follow Europe in its rise and fall. You "enlightened" types think that you're moving society forward, but all you're doing is fulfilling the destiny of post-modernism. Nothing is new under the sun. Tenchusatsu P.S. - I know you think the "hinges are coming off," but that just your way of saying you have no clue what I'm talking about. Not that you really want to figure it out, either, since it's so comfy in the intellectual bunker you've made for yourself ...

This is the only developed country left that fails to address serious social issues Did you hear MP Hannan explaining the mess that Great Britain is in BECAUSE of trying to "address serious social issues"? THEY are actually in worse shape than WE are! Why? Because when they should have been saving money for a rainy day they were blowing it on "serious social issues". Like hiring people to work for government in jobs that were unnecessary and counterproductive. I suggest you listen to the man. He clearly understands what socialism brought to them. It would be foolish not to learn from their mistakes. If it isn't intuitive to you that socialism doesn't work, the least you should do is listen to people who have actually been there and fought the same battles before.
