I think by the year 2016 it will be all over.
We are the band playing on the deck.
It’s over.
I think it is all over already...just too soon for most to see it. The democrat party killed America and I hate that party for it.
I’m an optimist. It won’t go splat at all. More like a tire with a slow leak.
sssssssssssssssssssss
I think post WW2 Germany is a better model. The socialist side would be a dreary place overcome by poverty. The free side would be an engine of prosperity. There would be tension as the free states wondered if the socialists would try to take the things that they don't have the motivation to produce for themselves, but we would stay ready and they would stay back so long as they could not count on an easy win. As far as I'm concerned, the Untied States would be a huge step up from a "United" States led by an anti-American communist.
I was hoping for 2017 at the earliest so all my kids would be out of HS and I could still fight while young enough to matter.
I can hear Dandy Don singin’......................The party’s over...
I think it’s going to be more like “KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BOOM! Bang! Bang! Bang! POW! Bang! Bang! KA-POW! KA-BLOOIE”
The Lord Protector of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales held as much power in 1656 as did the previous king. But in those days debt was much more limited. No human “Lord Protector” will be able to bail out the American economy in short order. Still it would be nice to see our “king’s” head fall after a trial. Charles was guilty of much less in 1649 than Hussein I in 2013.
Nostradummass says: September 2015
And Mrb says: “Unless we split, we’ll go splat”.
That’s going to be a party with no survivors, probably. Literally.
I do believe the the POTUS sets the tone for America and it seems that anything goes because our POTUS has NO MORAL COMPASS and it's all downhill from there.
Not long now.....Barry loves it when his Commie Plans come together.
Weird
In the mid-19th Century, there was a book written about newly-independent Greece, having just recently emerged at that time from the Ottoman Empire.
The book detailed that everyone was dodging taxes, the government was in debt up to its eyeballs and the corruption was nothing short of a national pasttime. And it’s economy was going down the crapper as well.
That was about 150 years ago. So, yeah....we’ve got a loooong time go. More like the air leaking out of a tire that’s been punctured by a sewing pin.
It won’t happen anytime soon, certainly not in my lifetime (I’m 43). Fact is, the USA has a long way to go. And with the recent re-emergence of petroleum as factor in the US economy, they can safely kick that can down the road for another century.
In other words, I wouldn’t be holding my breath.
We spend something like a $1.40 for every $1 we take in.
We don’t even have the ability to manufacture things anymore because the factories are gone, the manufacturing machinery is made in other countries, most of our population is too ADD/ADHD to even work an assembly line (or they are too badly-educated to run a highly automated line).
We destroyed the family.
We ridicule morality.
We tell ourselves that Allah is the same as God, and that Jesus was a nice man.
Our politicians of both parties are resigned to creating a socialist state. The only argument is method of conversion and how close to full communism they want to take us.
People learn science from TV shows. They learn history from fiction.
People will let their kids starve while they spend over $100 a month on a cell phone.
Crazy people wander the streets telling us “Don’t you be judgin’ me” and when one of them shoots up a school, we blame a law-abiding citizen’s gun that is locked up in a safe.
We already went splat, but like a brontosaurus, the pain impulses just haven’t reached the brain yet.
