I tried to leave a comment there, but it locked up my computer.

So, I'll comment here.  Zubrin is mostly right.  Some of the ways that he said it may be seen as offensive to those outside of American experience.  But resent it or not, it is true.  America had been on top, but is giving that up for stupid reasons.  Maybe it's because of reactions such as the ones I saw in the comment section.  Americans are being taught not to be self assertive anymore.  Not to have self confidence.  To have doubts about their own selves, their own country, their own culture.  This is not the way that it used to be.

I've haven't got much use for that point of view.  Nor the "culture" that is producing it.  In general, I absolutely reject the left and everything that they are doing to this once great country.
