Many years ago, I saw an awful movie called Americathon, starring John Ritter as the president of a bankrupt U.S. in the mid-90's. He acted like John Ritter always acts, and when Bill Clinton was president, I thought we were halfway there. It's late, and we are in the stage between "Gone with the Wind" and "Idiocracy", which is "Americathon.

One scene where Harvey Korman plays the lead character in a TV show called "Both Father and Mother" is a reflection of where we are today. When I first saw "Americathon", I thought it was just weird, and its vision of America was barf-worthy. And yet, it got more right than wrong 37 years ago. I guess that kind of people who made movies like Americathon executed their vision of the country.

I am familiar with this movie. I'd say were pretty much at that stage with Barack Hussein Obama. Idiocracy, Americathon, Gone with the wind, they will never ever come close to portraying America as it is now in real life.

When I started blogging 8 years ago and when I first began to get out into the world to research how messed up America has become, how bad things really are it blows my mind.

Blogging for me is like an adventure. I have visited different cities, gone to different places tried stuff out, I was homeless for two weeks in Seattle to see what that was like, I took part in the tea party and free state movement, I went to occupy wall street, the antiwar movement, these other places and I can only conclude that we have gone beyond that.

How we get out? Voting for Trump is a start but isn't enough. It has to be bottom to top not top to bottom. We need a revival in our nation first, then we need to stand up to the multinational corporations, the left wing media, the whole system and demand change.

Never ever underestimate strong public will. Even a minority can make radical changes. It took only 2% of the population (atheists) to expel God from school and secularize America within a decade. It took another decade and another small percentage to make homosexuality okay and not even close to that much to make America into a secular totalitarian state.

With that in mind it can be done if we have the initiative and courage to do what is right.
