    Default Peggy Noonan-we're all doomed

    I'm curious what some of you think about this article by Peggy Noonan of the WSJ, who basically says that the US is in deep trouble, that our traditional leaders have given up, and that we're staring down a long dark road.

    Read the responses from readers as well....

    Memo for Peggy: the incompetence, corruption, and short-sighted selfishness of your party is not an indication of the imminent collapse of civilization, even if they do happen to be in power at the moment. LOL

    Dlab, I know Noonan is a right winger, but I think she's hitting on a much bigger issue here...that being, that the US today is somewhat like Rome in about the the third century...rich, fat (in more ways than one), happy, king of the world, despised by most of the rest of the world that we sit astride, immigrants juuuuust starting to get a foothold in the country and change it to how they like it, standards starting to slip a little, govt in heavy debt, trade deficit, etc etc.

    I think she has a point.

    I wish this hadn't been moved. No one looks in the member boards.
