Regardless of what Rush says - America, as we knew it, has been over for sometime now. There are only two choices: Live it, moving with the flow or moving to another country (Where, I don’t know. America is the last bastion of freedom in the world. Maybe Mars ?) Or we can fight it.
This budget thing just means that a loaf of bread will suddenly cost 15 trillion dollars instead of 2 trillion dollars, when it happens. It will mean violence in the streets, and a reduced security in our daily lives... At some point.
As a dry run, I took a spin out last night in my town, which had just suffered a wide-spread power failure. A very dark place, indeed. Complete and utter pandemonium. This is where we are heading. Darkness, with riots, looters and mobs of people behaving like wild dog packs to get what they want.
Our America has been dead for awhile. The real choice is what is going to fill it’s void: Another Constitutionally backed, judeo-christian capitalist example of freedom, or an oppressed Sharia-leaning marxist / socialist dictatorship from which there is no escape.
We are on our way to the latter.
The future may look dim for America now but I think it is worth fighting for and it ain’t over till the fat lady sings.
