The frustration among our young people is palpable. Most of them feel entitled to "the American Dream" and they feel like the system has failed them.

The Brits have figured this one out. The riots had NOTHING what so ever to do with 'jobs' - it was plain and simple criminal rage. The kids were happy sticking to to everyone. There was NO angst. The kids wanted "free stuff". Period.

The sixties are O-VAR...

I see if I can find a link for you Ace - time to move into the 'now'. The Brits have figured it out too - arrest them and cut their free benefits and government checks.

imho ... I have seen those paying for the goodies request spending be cut. Of course, nothing happened. No departments were eliminated, no revision of the tax system took place, no federal employees lost their jobs, everything continued at an unsustainable pace for decades. Maybe is too late to stop the inevitable. I do not know, but I have not been at ease for decades. My belief is ... Time is not something which should have been postponed in our past by doing what was necessary. Is it too late? I pray that it isn’t too late and pray God is there to help us, all of us who have been praying for peace.

Agreed ... my thought has always been pray for peace, prepare for war, while praying for peace. Remember, the world hates America, by and large. Do not fall into the trap of the world. On this continent, only Canada can be depended on, and Canada is as infiltrated as we are here at home.

Poor people may riot and loot, but when the middle class are hurt and they riot—they will change things. All they need is a leader and an Idea. Think France 1789. The old order will die quick, the trumbrils will roll along with heads. There will be some violence due to economic hardships but—I fear the middle class will be the force to fear—be it from the left or the right.

All I can say is pray for the conversion of more Americans to the Lord Jesus Christ.

The following is from the above link - showing the Brits ‘get it’ about the riots... the link

...I cannot remember a time when there has been such crushing unanimity on a matter of public importance: the answers to the questions of why this happened, what went wrong when it began to happen and what needs to follow in its aftermath are considered so blindingly self-evident as to be beyond rational disagreement.

At the margins of this consensus, there are some distant noises off. They are the desperate cries of those who fear that they have lost the argument of a lifetime and who want to persuade the great mass of the population that what it saw before its own eyes, hour by hour, night after night on the television news channels was something else altogether.

The Left-liberal camp is in overdrive in its campaign to rewrite history (or, in its own vocabulary, to alter consciousness): you did not see thousands of jubilant thugs rampaging through the streets, destroying livelihoods and property for the sheer exultant joy of it.

Thinking a certain ‘blog’ would be a great resource for this type of situation. :)

Older workers are being displaced for younger workers in some fields. So I have to disagree with some of the article.

Same here. My point, is the fear of unrest from OTHERS who aren't paying for the goodies is increasingly coming from the payers. Doesn't mean they don't want the spending cut, they fear what others might do if they are without those "goodies". It's a legitimate fear.

With about a year before dear leader is sure to be de-imaculated, there is sure to be another orchestrated chrisis. Before the last election Schumer initiated the banking crisis that the left had put in place with the subprime loads they forced on the banks. Van Jones talked about it “bottom up, top down, inside out”. The bottom up is the riots. The top down is the totalitarian state taking over. The inside out is the slaughter of the business owners and property owners with the top and bottom splitting up the look. Just like Mao did. And so many Mao admirers in this regime sort of gves it away.

If Americans have not been lied to again, because there has been and still are those who lead who lie, then the cuts have to be drawn up. If (all) has been a lie to drive the world to the brink of war, then there is another problem which can never be addressed. It is time to address the problems, maybe even find out if the problems are real or a lie. Those who are currently in power and those who have come before today, except for the few who tried have ever took the time to tell Americans the truth. The few tried, the few are still with us, may the few succeed, for the masses will always walk with the enemy. Prayer for success.

“It’s all part of the plan.”

That’s cool, I guess, because I’ve got a plan, too:
Maximum ammo and fire power.

These people are not fighting for a cause, they are simply thieves and barbarians. Bottom line.

God help any of these lowlifes if they threaten my family or property.
