We're not doomed, we're just about to have a bracing cold shower. We on the Right are no more doomed than the Democrats are. Who here really thinks that Obama's America has a bright or long future given the current economic, social, and cultural trends? Obama is not Mao, and America's pleasure-bent culture, built over several decades by liberals and leftists, is not about to man a huge Red Army. In other words, the seeds of statism's collapse and culture upheaval and eventual regeneration are already planted--by the Left themselves. That doesn't mean we're not going to have to pass through a convulsive and dangerous period, but it's not necessarily terminal bleakness.
