America is due for a revolution

Here’s the good news: The chaos and upheaval we see all around us have historical precedents and yet America survived. The bad news: Everything likely will get worse before it gets better again. That’s my chief takeaway from “Shattered Consensus,” a meticulously argued analysis of the growing disorder. Author James Piereson persuasively makes the case there is an inevitable “revolution” coming because our politics, culture, education, economics and even philanthropy are so polarized that the country can no longer resolve its differences. To my knowledge, no current book makes more sense about the great unraveling we see in each day’s headlines. Piereson captures and explains the alienation arising from the sense that something important in American life is ending, but that nothing better has emerged to replace it.

"I think our political leadership has any clue how close to the edge this country is."

Any clue will do, eh? That's contemporary politics.

[tanknetter]

I think our political leadership has any clue how close to the edge this country is. They are tap dancing in a minefield.

I think the GOPe does, which explains why they are always scared into caving into Progressive demands. They think that by giving up a little bit, incrementally, they can kick the can down the road a little further.

The Progressives are either oblivious, or think that they'll ultimately win. Actually some combination of both, probably - especially among the younger Occupy-types who see themselves as the vanguard of some new social order rather than useful-idiot cannon fodder whose purpose is to be expended to meet the demands of their own leadership.

Trying too hard Mikey.

When you go for the nonseical Nazi attack lies because you are losing the argument, you lose the debate.

You cheapen and debase the real atrocities the Nazis preformed when you desperately throw out that label at anyone who does not agree with you bigoted, ignorant world view.

Instead of wasting all your time vomiting up this personal attack drivel, how about you create ONE post that tells us who you stand WITH this election season and why?

Ah but that right. Elementary school level intellects like yours never stand FOR anything. The best you can come up with are these hysterics, ignorant adhominem postings.

If you have to post this idiot’s drivel, could you at least TRY to be funny once in awhile rather then wasting our time with your usual utterly moronic sniveling?

I was changing from summer to winter clothing and just added a sewing kit and pair of small Midland radios to my small BOB. My dog’s saddle bags are ready. No worries.

While we’re discussing doom, here’s some info from a little recent research.

Overall U.S. oil production is declining again, while global consumption rises. The most recent increases have been from OPEC, drilling more holes in producing plays. Bankers are promising to pump as much as $750 million more in junk investments to help some shale plays limp a little further.

The drought is expanding to the east again for now.

...only a couple more trends that might accelerate the default process in the near future (besides the feeding frenzy in recirculating debt).

"Trying too hard Mikey.

Yeah, Mikey! Don't go for the nonseical! It has any clue!

[familyop]

"You cheapen and debase the real atrocities the Nazis preformed..."

MNJohnnie's right! Those preforming Nazis...preverts! Listen to the Swedes!

[MeshugeMikey]

I get the uneasy sense that the spectrum of freepers.. is far wider than I could ever have suspected...prior to the opening of this particular “silly season”!

these dweebs think they are “laying down smack” as the common vernacular calls it.

ineffective banal snark.. no matter how fevered or labored..just doesnt impress me these days...

I seriously doubt that theres a lot of thinking on ones feet going on in the bleachers behind the cheerleaders over there at Rump High School!!
