thx for the heads up.

Couldn't agree more, and I'm just as guilty. Leave me alone, I'll pay my taxes, stay off my lawn, let me have my guns, and I'll be a good little prole. My only hope is that when the storm troopers do come, I am dispatched quickly.
Please, God, let someone simply read this as an opening statement at the first debate.
The problem with this country is not the leaders, it is the people. All the good has been bred out of them.
Roger that.
We can’t afford pessimism.
If we were that way after Pearl Harbor, we’d be a Japanese colony right now.
Thank you, I will check it out. I check in to FR just about every day lately. IMHO “something” will have to give, before the trash can be taken out and we can restore a constitutional republic. I’m pessimistic yet not....”We will have to go through hell to get out of hell”.
“That is why Hillary is the candidate of choice. She’s a “victim” who gets paid half a million every time she speaks. She’s a strong woman whose chief accomplishment is overlooking her husband’s infidelities. She’s a champion for the “American middle class” who has spent her entire life making sure it will no longer exist. She’ll outsource the running of the economy to the Fed more or less like her husband did. And even her own supporters don’t pretend otherwise. “
All you need to read here.

There is, of course, no Statute of Limitations on the crime of murder.
I don't believe so. But I think he'd be an excellent choice for VP, and an even better possibility as an eventual Senate Majority Leader.

Spot on article
“But what conservatives have never understood is that much of the country is now largely comfortable with abandoning “post-racial” illusions, so long the racial conversation focuses on white males as a unifying enemy for the coalition of the oppressed.”
Not only do conservatives fail to understand this, some actually encourage it through their cult-like veneration of the 1960s civil rights movement. Hannity sounds like a Lyndon Johnson groupie when the subject comes up.
If we were that way after Pearl Harbor, we’d be a Japanese colony right now.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941 brought the United States into World War II. Four months later, on 18 April 1942, came the American answer: The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, a, aircraft carrier based attack by Army Air Corps B-25 bombers on the Japanese capital, Tokyo.
Not quite four years later, came the American air attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Come the XXI Century and we saw a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks said to have been committed by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, then headquartered in Afghanistan, on New York City and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
By 7 October 2001 President George Bush's Operation Enduring Freedom was initiated, and on 19 October, Operational Detachment Alpha 555, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) was the first of several 5th Group teams to infiltrate into Afghanistan, and work with the Northern Alliance to bring down the Taliban government, along with forces from the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other forces, including the Northern Alliance and some NATO nations. ODA 555 was the first U.S. military unit to enter the city of Kabul after a short battle on Nov. 13 and 14; cleared the U.S. embassy complex of any booby traps and unexploded ordnance, and set up the first American mission in Kabul since the Soviet invasion 22 years earlier. Along with the other ODAs, ODBs, and SOF units from other services and allied countries, ODA 555 had just helped win a great battle, all in just 25 days since landing in Afghanistan. The U.S. and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities across the country.
Oh yes, we can still do it. All we need now is the leadership, and a little stiffening of the national will.
It wouldn't hurt a bit to hang a few traitors and Quislings as well.
Being realistic is not pessimism
Business as usual is over
The demographic winter is here
Tell those of us who see that how you propose to prevail when the majority of the nation views America as Obama does
You want to wallow in it, go ahead brother.
I won’t.
Exhibit 1: Glenn Beck. He took a organic, focused movement with a simple to understand theme TEA - Taxed Enough Already - and single-handedly turned it into a weepy liberal mess, the 9/12 movement, whose most important job was further veneration of Martin Luther King.
Because, you know, America's biggest problem is that we don't worship at the alter of the Rev. Doctor MLK enough.
REALLY? What a moron. I hate that he's on XM in the morning. He's a waste of radio packets.
Our gutter culture, our toxic media, quotas, affirmative action, anti-male family court laws, $18 trillion dollar deficit, food-stamp lifestyle, exodus of American manufacturing to the third world, legislation driven by bogus climate change science, NSA surveillance, crony capitalism, breakdown in the rule of law, marginalization of the religious, militarized police problem, out of control regulatory agencies, open borders, entitled illegals and amnesty supporting leftists ... none of this can be solved by military intervention abroad.
Domestic military action, like an American Pinochet, might be able fix it. He fixed Chile by running a dirty war and throwing thousands of leftists out of airplanes without parachutes. This achieved killing off the cancer of the left in his country. Today they are the best country in South America. That seems to have worked.
But would it work here? Is there even enough cancer-free tissue left in the body politic for the nation to survive if we went on a cancer killing spree? I think not. The therapy would likely kill the patient.
But it's pretty clear we're not going that route. That's far outside our tradition Today the American military is full of Politically Correct affirmative action supporting sissies, just like every other institution in the USA. Patreus? He couldn't even figure out how to pull off a simple affair without be caught, humiliated, stripped of his career and prosecuted. He would hardly be able to pull off a coup.
Nope, the military are just another Govt. special interest group, complete with guys in camoflage and red shoes learning to be sensitive to woman.
Maybe I'm agreeing it would take leaders, but it also takes people and institutions for those leaders to lead. The quality of "followership" in the USA is at an all-time low.
I agree with the author's sense of pessimism.
(BTW: WW2 didn't undo the previous 8 years of FDR's transformation of America either. Much of our current mess was started by him, and WW2 locked all that progressive BS in place, essentially forever. SO even in our most heroic war, it did not provide a foundation for fixing the culture and social fabric.)
This organization is probably not up to the task of saving America from ourselves.
BTW: Archy: you taught me a lot about the Dirty War a decade ago, right here on FR with some of your original CWII posts. As I recall you have always felt that the goings on in South America were more like what might happen here than, say, the War Between the States. So I realize I'm just repeating back to the professor what he has instructed, possibly with a little twist.
You talk a lot of smack partner
And accuse folks
I ask you what you planned to do
More smack
Color me unimpressed Hannity
We have passed the time for electoral solutions
You got realist and pessimist confused
My descendants will either shed blood and win or shed blood and lose
If you think all noble ideas in history prevail simply cause of the nobility of their cause
You need to read up Camp of the Saints is a good start
Anything by Derbyshire
History is replete with noble losers who were simply overwhelmed by the tide of civilization or barbarism ...the latter probably more apt for death of the west
The folks who hate America...the West..,,and the white race
Will outnumber us in 30-40 years
So what is your solution?
Be specific
I think it’s going to require folks being resolute and violent and it will be horrific
The fools who opened this destruction fall into those who did it on purpose
Dems
Those who were too stupid and weak and feared being called racist
GOP
First moral victory is when the civilized no longer fear being called a pejorative based on race ethnicity gender or queer or not
A tall order if you examine millenials
