I have said it before, but needs to be repeated:

Between the explosive growth of illegal immigrants, and blacks, the USA has become a victim of “The Peter Principle”.
I do not see it ever returning to be the country that I grew up in.

I fear that I agree with you. We are over the cliff and plunging to the death of this country. We need a national prayer day - such as a sick out or sit-in, whatever you want to call it, where we bring this country to a complete stand still for one day. That is the only wan to send a message and then - Obama must be kicked out of office on his ass, run out of this country back to Kenya, all money going to D.C. has to be stopped. Federal agencies must be dismantled. That is the only way to get our country back. I’m not sure is voting is going to do the trick.

I tend to agree. But it does not follow that a smaller country, carved from the heartland of the current United States and severed from the grasping greed and indulgences of the parasite urban areas could not form a republic more in keeping with the Founders’ visions.

I totally agree. The demographic trends are strongly against a future strong, united America. Don't forget the muslims, too. Despite the fact they're only 1.5-2% of the population at present, they breed like rabbits and will explode their population, especially in enclaves like MI and northern VA. Their political power is only going to grow.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.
