Decline Time!

Grüß Gott! It's decline time - again!

"The foundational American myth of empire is exceptionalism, the belief, dating back to the Puritans, that the U.S. is different, better, and morally superior to the rest of the world. Americans have always looked at the outside world suspiciously and viewed it as a source of contagion: war, imperialism, militarism, religious intolerance, non-democratic forms of governance, and latterly totalitarianism, genocide, and terrorism. All these bad things, we believe, come from “over there.”

So? That is exactly correct.

The declinists boring assetted and seriously suspect worldview finally gets to the raison d'etre':

"To change our foreign policy—to come to grips with the end of the Pax Americana—we first need to change the way we see the world."

Yawn. Must. Stay Awake.

Actually, the superiority of tolerant, egalitarian societies with a free, uncensored press, periodic transparent elections, independent judiciary under elected oversight, civilian control of the military, nat'l treasury open to public scrutiny and religious freedom is pretty obvious.

For whatever reasons - Americans DO NOT play 'everything is equal - everything is cool in it's own little way."

Americans do the "which one of these things is not like the other."

Pic - "Great Satan remains the world’s indispensable nation -- indispensable to international peace, security, and stability, and indispensable to safe-guarding and advancing the ideals and principles we hold dear."
