Think of it this way - We came off of defeating the USSR and the first Golf War. We had a booming economy - what happened?

Free trade has destroyed America's middle class instead of enriching it as promised. The borders were broken open. 9/11 happened which caused us to spend untold billions to trillions to rebuild crap holes in the middle east and they still hate us and then the Wall Street types we are supposed to give low taxes and low regulations to repaid our trust by collapsed the economy. This happened under Dems and Reps. How do you you expect people to feel?

There in lies the problem. Where do we lay our trust? Being betrayed so many times, how does my vote really count. I am not happy to expect luck to do anything good at this point. Truth is, with the ever expanding welfare state and bailouts, we apparently haven't suffered enough. The next betrayal, and it will come, could precipitate a revolt unseen for 150 years. I am too old at this point to effect any great change and I fear for my children and grandchildren. With most people engaged in the hollow past time of social media and disengagement, I don't really see a happy outcome.

However, if the past is any indication, disaster seems to strip away political politeness and the doers of all stripes come together to right the ship. When? I don't know, but probably not soon.

And, with the enemies at the gates waiting for America to be weakened, wait to pounce!
