Failure to Thrive
We’re the richest country on earth — four and a half percent of the world’s people producing more than twenty percent of the world’s wealth.But you wouldn’t know from the cheapjack spending squabbles in Congress. We possess more military power than the rest of the planet combined. Though you couldn’t tell by the way we’re treated by everyone from the impotent Kremlin to the raggedy councils of the Taliban. The earth is ours. We have the might and means to achieve the spectacular—and no intention of doing so. -- Of Thee I Sigh: Baby Boomers Bust P. J. O'Rourke

Your Say
Liberalism is the society's version of clinical depression that leads to cultural suicide. First, they remove your pride and motivation. Second, they fill you with guilt for trying to improve your life.Third, they invite your enemies into your home. Fourth, they convince you the only way to improve the world is by holding your breath, forever.
However, God forbid you ever treat a liberal as anything but an equal with your best interest at heart. Remember kids, if you know even one liberal that seems nice then you must conclude the spiral of doom which follows the liberals ascendancy is mere coincidence. If we pretend hard enough even the last train ride in the cattle car can be but the start of a great adventure.
