And out-of-touch leaders don't see the need to cool things off.
It is, obviously, self-referential to quote yourself, but I do it to make a point. I wrote the following on New Year's day, 1994. America 16 years ago was a relatively content nation, though full of political sparks: 10 months later the Republicans would take the House for the first time in 40 years. But beneath all the action was, I thought, a coming unease. Something inside was telling us we were living through "not the placid dawn of a peaceful age but the illusory calm before stern storms."

As I’ve said to you ...
Maybe one of these days you’ll finally grow up instead of using the web to play like a child.
That warms the heart! I need to get my boys in Boy Scouts!
[I can’t think of anyone with a better writing style and way with words than Peggy Noonan.]
I’ll take VDH over Peggy any day.
Well, Peggy, now you should have a full understanding of Tea Partiers.
VDH is great!
Any “republican” or “conservative” politician who is still spouting the compassion hogwash about the illegal immigration issue is taking an active part in the destruction of our republic. Complicit or just stupid, it makes no difference!
I’m guessing that if the next attempt at an attack on the US is successful, especially if it occurs in DC, and it can be proven that it was carried out by someone who came into the country illegally, over the border from Mexico, the politicians just MIGHT get serious about border security. Otherwise they’ll continue to sit, fat, dumb, and happy, in their Congressional offices tut-tutting about how un-compassionate we out here are.
Arrogant! That is the word that describes the self appointed "ruling class" we suffer under. Some of them know that the day of Reckoning is coming. Remember November is coming!
Maybe it’s just me but I have been picking up the ‘coming revolution in the streets’ vibe for a while. Of course, foundations laid for fomenting such in time for the midterms would have to be set early on, and we are nearing the part of the cycle where the sheeple start to pay attention.
So have I, so have I.
