I totally agree with that. The “United” States is really at least two countries masquerading as one. It’s way past time to stop the fraud and to stop bothering with one side imposing its radically different view on the other and go our separate ways in an amicable divorce. I just don’t think that, absent a crisis, it’s going to happen.
For those that point to people like Palin, just look at Alaska. It’s one of the most government-dependent states in the Union. How much did she change that during her term.
She’s no Reagan/Thatcher, and even that’s not enough when what this country needs is the economic equivalent of a Pinochet to slash government and destroy’s its strangehold on the economy.
Won’t happen — too many are too invested in the sclerotic status quo, like Europe — absent a financial crisis.
Pity you are so ignorant of history. Your sort of "wise" man was posting this same sort of Chicken Little "prophecies" about the US in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and now here you are yet again in 2010 posting the same "Oh woes is us" doom and gloom nonsense.
Defeat takes place in the mind. Sorry you are all ready defeated.
Do us all a favor and wander off and wallow in your defeat.Quit wasting our time, and bandwidth, with your ignorant defeatist posturing.
We Freepers have much more import things to do with our time then listen to your childish angst.
