Agree. Islam is ascendant, Christianity/Western Civilization are in retreat. There is little time to stop the approaching dark age. In this regard, we could learn a lesson from Russia and China. They know what to do with muzzies.

(Article V. If not now, when?)
To: Sherman Logan
In fact, the main reason given, even at the time, for Caracalla's Edict giving citizenship to all free men of the Empire was to expose them to taxes Good point; I seem to remember reading that.
And it reminds me of one reason I heard our government likes to flood the country with immigrants: to increase the number of taxpayers, especially to increase the number of contributors to social security, because that last has turned into a kind of Ponzi scheme.

We have reached the tipping point. What’s coming is going to be worse than most people suspect. I suspect the United States will break apart within 30 or 40 years. The UK will be lost to the Islamic tide. France will follow. Eastern Europe has a chance....the rise of the Chinese super-state will clash with Islam & cause a world-wide war the likes of which we have never seen. Indeed you are right. A new “Dark-Age” is coming.

Because I said so. No because he was writing during the time of the fall of Rome. He describes it well. The popular theory then was Rome fell because they abandoned pagan gods.

On that you and I are in agreement. It is definitely time for Article V activity
