The New Depression will lead to The Second American Revolution in my never humble opinion.
Recall that the tipping point of the First American Revolution was the closure of the Port of Boston and other oppressive acts (The Intolerable Acts 1774) by the British government wrecked the colonial economy.
Thus the colonial middle and upper classes were ruined and easily radicalized by the Sons of Liberty. Then the first were fired on Lexington Green April 19, 1775.
I think that 2009 was 1774 redux that saw the enactment of a series of Intolerable Acts by the oppresive Obama Administration that will very likely lead to revolution in 2010.
Perhaps the first shots will be fired on next April 19th?
Stay tuned.
