The next few years are likely to be quite painful for America and Americans, but if the end result is the "Little America" of the Reactionary Radicals, there will be something to be happy about.
Andreas over at The Western Confucian says what more and more folks are saying and many of us have realized for sometime.
I probably lack his optimism in a quick revival of real America from the ashes of the empire. Bill Kauffman states in the piece linked in Andreas' post above:
I’m grateful to all who contributed to our discussion. Something is happening in our lorn but lovely land. The better America is reasserting itself. Not politically, Lord knows, although that may come. But a lot of good people are looking homeward.
Now I am an agrarian in addition to the other labels I self-tag myself with (Christian, paleoconservative etc. etc.) Agrarianism is certainly not incompatible with paleoconservatisim nor is it completely incompatible with the "Front-Porch Anarchist Draft" - they are paleos too.
I still believe the ultimate collapse will be a slow and imperceptible one - to the masses at least. Most Americans will be utterly unaware, historians some day will identify and point to the high-water mark, but the mob will continue on long after the real fall to believe they live in the most powerful nation on earth.
