The Decline of American Declinism

Funnily enough, I thought that when researching American Declinism I would find a lot of websites that agreed with the view that America is going down. Yet, I seemed to have found more website agreeing to the contrary ! Apparently it's the notion of declinism that is declining, not America !

My choice is an article on a blog (a personal blog on someone's views on politics, society, philosophy) that argues that America is not declining, at all ! In fact, it is this idea that America is in decline that is declining and getting old ! The author of the post debates that America is the richest country in the world, a huge country too ! And that every time people thought it would go down, it didn't (after Vietnam, people were very pessimistic, yet it was the USSR that collapsed !).
Every time in history people thought America would fail as a country, it didn't and something happened that proved people wrong. So, the author is basically telling us to stop being pessimistic and to start having some faith in America, because it will not cease to work the way it does.
