This article was published in 2010 and can be seen as a very prescient view of what would be happening now. If you want to understand the Rise of Trump, read this article. Rush was so impressed by this article, he devoted an entire show to it's discussion.

It is a terrific article. Codevilla really gets it.

Pitchforks and torches rule this coming year.

Bump for later read.

"In short, the ruling class has a party, the Democrats. But some two-thirds of Americans -- a few Democratic voters, most Republican voters, and all independents -- lack a vehicle in electoral politics.

Sooner or later, well or badly, that majority's demand for representation will be filled. "

Great article. I hope Trump reads it.

Best essay of my lifetime. Sorry I missed it in 2010.

This article needs to get wide readership in both the ruling class and country class.... or maybe just the country class and we take them by surprise.

It is just as powerful, much shorter.

It was written five months ago. He was still under the impression that Trump would implode and of the opinion that Trump himself would not be successful, but does represent the problems that the normal people see.

It certainly seems to me that civil war is coming. If the dems steal another election I think there will be blood in the streets. When you see that Trump is polling WELL in the black and other minorities, it tells me that there is inter-party support for taking our country back.

Blacks are finally waking up to see that when Obama said fundamentally change America, it was NOT to make their lives better in any way, shape or form. They are seeing, along with the rest of us that he meant to give our country over to the Muslims without a fight. People are becoming angry with every one of his policies. There is nothing American about this man, and his visceral hatred for all but the elites is evident more every day.

Ping to an article I though you might have posted . . .

[headsonpikes]

I see mention on this thread of pitchforks and torches, and tar and feathers. I’d like to add:

“Heads on pikes!”

Maybe 2016 is the year...

Yes, I read it in 2010 and several times since. It was likened to Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense”.

Bumping this thread in the hopes more Freepers will read the linked article. If more people were exposed to the truths in this article we could maybe stop trying to blame one candidate or the other and recognize that the establishment in total is the cause of our problems. No politician is going to be able to change much.

I am reminded of a statement Beck once made. He said that GW told him he should not worry too much because whomever came into the office would continue on pretty much the same as he had. Not a calming statement.
