Yes, I know all about the frog/boiling water analogy. But one of things that is so striking about America in the last two centuries, has been our ability to absorb even catastrophic damage before we "see the light", so to speak.
However, once that "Rubicon" is crossed, the world has indeed, and, will again, tremble.
After the lifting of the seige of Bastogne, a wounded German colonel remarked that there is nothing more savage than an American fighting man because he is fighting for a deep seated, national cause; slow to anger, but terrifying to behold.
Those who believe otherwise should study history; lest the events of 1776-1789 repeat themselves.
By the way, this shouldn't be construed as any sort of warning; just friendly advice....for the moment.
Many people still blindly believe that we live in a constitutional republic, and have faith that our "leaders" wouldn't do this to America. I do think that they're finally waking up. If this monstrosity is forced on us, I believe a revolution is right around the corner.
Have you read "Transfer of Power" by Vince Flynn. It seems he knew a lot of what was going to happen before it did. Islamic terrorists strike at the White House.
