We could well see the end of the "American Experiment", our citizens slowly retreating back into a state of ignorant and uneducated bliss, unable to distinguish between superstition and knowledge, between astronomy and astrology -- gullible victims of every "fat-burner pill", "perpetual motion machine", "herbal cure" and "aura manipulation" con that comes down the pike. Our technological infrastructure will slowly fall apart, and we will sink down into tribalism, book burnings and petty crusades.
And the future colonists on Mars and the Moon will all speak Chinese.

The problem Pyrotex, is that both candidates are equally problematic. One is pandering to the religious right (McCain), despite their war on science. The other is pandering to the populists (Obama), not caring that all the government programs are economically unsound and will drive us into bankruptcy. They both suck ass here.
