I can’t imagine this happening quite so soon, but I can’t say that it’s impossible either.

People fail to realize the time frames involved. This November may yet be the tipping point, but it may take decades to begin to feel the effects.

Remember, when amateur historians talk about the "Fall of Rome" they are talking about a slow gradual process that took centuries, even after Rome was first sacked by barbarians. Romans in the Spanish countryside didn't even notice until Moslems started to show up after 800 AD.

Just a caution against panicky reactions, although in the long run I am not optimistic that we won't need to shed blood for liberty.

I go with Thoreau, who warned "It is not in the nature of wisdom to do desperate things."

Obama is looking for a “crisis” so he can seize control. His czars are his politbureau of micromanagement, Marxist style.
