“The progressive utopian system is collapsing on its own, so we don’t have to pick fights, we just have to stay safe and get to the other side.”
I find this interesting. Can you expand on this, please.

When I write a book, I have chapter titles and an outline, but after research I’m just as surprised at what pops out as anyone. Two things are going on 1) progressives have always styled themselves as perpetual revolutionaries and 2) the Federal government (read “the welfare state”) is not just a little broke, it is long term completely bankrupt only bringing in 60 cents on the dollar of what it spends.
What this means is that we don’t have to try to start a civil war, it is already baked in the cake, the system is doomed to implode. The Tea Party has made the correct approach, which is to stay sane and legal with clean protests, we aren’t anarchist bomb throwers. But that which cannot be, cannot be, you can’t spend more than you make indefinitely like progressives believe. I think the opportunity for a soft landing is past, so we are headed towards being like Greece. So we are in a civil war by default and there is nothing we can do to stop it now.
That doesn’t mean it is the end of the world, just that you have to pick your strategy like with a dope user. If interventions don’t work, then you have to let them hit bottom and pick up the pieces afterwards. So we are in a holding pattern, waiting for the crash of the Leviathan state.
If you take to the streets now in radical protest and tell people their social security and medicare are going to be chopped, all that will happen is that you will be cut down and labeled a crazy. If you wait about a year or two though, Obamacare, the EPA, etc. will all be in their death throes because money is running out. So your goal is to get through the collapse, there just isn’t any way to stop what is coming, and even if your goal was to burn down the structure (not in the nature of a true conservative by he way) why it is already engulfed in flames.
In the best case, Palin/Perry/Bachmann gets in and has 60 votes in the Senate. That puts us well into 2013 before any legislation makes any change at all. So that means 2014 before any real rebound, and maybe even later.
You see what I’m getting at? Do what you can, we all will, but you have at least two to three years of chaos to survive first and who knows how long after before the country is even slightly back to normal. Don’t stand in the path of Godzilla when it is doing fine tripping over the high tension lines all by itself.
