All we have to do is look at Great Britain to see where America is heading.  When was the last time "Britannia Ruled the Waves?"

In fact, Mark Steyn is just one of several British conservative commentators acting like lookouts on America's ramparts.  They know the signs of decay, because they come from a nation further up--or should I say down?--the decline scale than we are.

The question is:  Is anyone with their hands on the levers of power listening?
