Yes, it CAN happen here.

Truly a wonderful article that sums up why we are all feeling a vague sense of dread these days. America is fundamentally changing, RIGHT NOW. It never seemed possible that we would lose the freedoms our country was supposedly based on, but it appears it is happening in our lifetimes. I’m really not certain if there is any way to reverse the course at this point. The downside of freedom and wealth is that few people pay attention to the trends. They are happy with an SUV, Applebees, and a plasma 46”.

It is only when crackdowns occur that people will notice, and as with all modern dictatorships, it will require at least one full generation to throw off the yoke — unless, of course, modern technology has gamed the odds in a dictator’s benefit, then all bets are off.

If the dictatorship is brought to bear, and if it is even possible to throw off the shackles and bonds, then America will emerge a more freedom-aware place, but this will not happen for a long time. Our children will not quite live to see the re-emergence of freedom.

Where in the world can we go, to claim political asylum, if the last bastion of freedom — America — appears destined to fail?
