I agree, the trend is bad and the present is frighteningly similar to Argentina.

But come on guys! America has four hundred years of reinventing itself and self-correcting. That's what a democratic republic does. Even the Europeans are urging us to push the pendulum back toward our natural self-interest. They've seen the future with the EU experiment and don't want to see a repeat their fascist, deadly past.

Competitive challenges from China and India will counter-balance myopic thinking about Islam's most totalitarian aspects before we get to the apocalypse.

America's enterprising spirit is still a beacon to many in the world, even though some of those same people like to kick us in the teeth.

Based on recent polls, I think Americans see the leftward tilt and will self-correct if given a viable alternative in 2012.
