Pat Buchanan and others have been saying this very thing for over 20 years. You know, the far right racist nuts in our country. Funny how no one wants to listen to them until the demographics change.

Just as well open the gates and let the rest of them in and sign them up. They are considered votes now instead of illegals!

How many times has America died lately?
I recall tombstone images and obituaries of America when:
• When Democrats took control of the House and Senate
• When Nancy Pelosi took the Gavel as Speaker of the House
• When Bush bailed out GM/Chrysler
• When Obama was elected
• When Obamacare passed
• When the SCUTOS upheld Obamacare
• When Obama was re-elected.
Not saying It ain't true, but it's no wonder America votes Democrat. It's dead 10X over.

It's all the above. Empires die a slow death. A gradual decline from within.

Exactly correct.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and didn't fall in a day.
The United States is so huge, the economy is so vast, the enormity of the country can hardly be imagined.
The decline is more of a slow rolling snowball.
Trouble is, it's been rolling steadily downhill since the middle of George Bush the 1st's presidency, and has only slowed a couple of times, and has done nothing but accelerate since the last year of George Bush the 2nd's term.
It sure as hell ain't going to slow down now.
It WILL end.
When?
Only God knows, and He ain't telling.
As for me and mine, well, I just don't want to get 'surprised'.
