1 America – a country that has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization. John O'Hara and he was an American.
2 America has progressed from barbarism to decadence without the intervening stage of civilization. George Bernard Shaw
3 America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between. Oscar Wilde.
Numerous other people have been credited with expressing that sentiment or something similar including Henry James, another American. However, in all probability the phrase originates with Georges Clemenceau when he was President of France.

Phrase used as an add-on to sentences. "In America" fulfills the function of a prepositional phrase, though it is often used as a sentence fragment, and is used to convey an almost sarcastic outlook regarding the American mindset of independence and superiority, or a sincere outlook of such views, which is even scarier. This usage was started by LittleKuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series, which was first posted on youtube, but is now available other places as well.
