If by "bomb" you mean revolution, then no I'm relaxed. If by "bomb" you mean lots of terrorism, then mmmmaybe, but probably not.

I much more fear am impending global depression caused by bad credit. Then people will get extremely upset and demand the government fix things. If we are lucky, and we will be, the government will be proven completely useless and free-enterprise will take over (ala black markets even if the socialist governments insist on running the show).

Did you know that college freshman and sophomores are some of the most conservative bunch of kids in a dozens of years?

The kids in my daughters high school out and out laugh at these ex-post-hippy lefty teachers. They are not buying into the leftist swill anymore.

The leftist media is in a downward spiral because the population just does not give much credence anymore to Dr. Spock, multiculturalism, free sex and the socialist dogma that gets spewed out. Rosie left her own magazine because they were becoming too "right" for her.

The top selling books on the NY Times are Conservative books!.

HArry Potter and Lord of the Rings are about good-vs-evil. black and white.

The top 5 FOX news show trounce ALL of MSNBC and CNN shows. During the 1980's socialist Donahue was huge and dominating, now he holds a 0.3 versus a 2.4 market share for O'Rielly.

The anti-socialists are beginning to win the culture wars. The last bastions will be the public schools and academia. But the heat is on.

The lefties will have to do something to kick up a fuss. They are up a tree and the dogs have them surrounded.

The evolution of freedom.

At the time, it wassaid Lyndon Johnson was the first American president to be toppled by mobs, I remember it well. The centers of large cities were in flames. Roads were blocked, There were more than 500 bombings per year in this country by leftist radicals. Johnson had to give up the office.

Right now we have a weak president who didn't win a popular vote majority running against a catatonic moron. I also must regard half the people who voted for the Clintons as being psychotic and radical enough to take to the streets.

But you apparently know more about any of it than I do. So be it.

Dear Mark,
I appreciated your comments and felt reassured by your analysis. On the other hand, the 1960's did not have a mobilized, unconventional militia attempting to assassinate our leadership, destroy our buildings, attack us in cyberspace, and undermine our economy. Did the Soviet Union attempt these strategies to undermine the capitalist markets?

I am more concerned with the appearance of duplicity between those who organize and fund socialist activities and Al Qaida. Daniel Pipes and other journalists have written expose pieces linking Al Qaida's activities to recruiting in our prison system and Muslim fundamentalism in our urban centers. To my knowledge no enemy of the United States has ever been successful in recruiting operatives within our borders in the major struggles over the last 100 years. Perhaps the closest analogy would be the recruiting of Hollywood players into Communist circles in the 1940's and 1950's. However, these individuals were not violent. It appears that Al Qaida's recruits are violent.

It is very concerning that as we debate, unionists are blocking our ports, radicals are demonstrating across our nation, and we face strategic unconventional attacks from enemy nations.

The DOD and DOJ were mobilized in 1941 and 1942 to meet a global threat. I am beginning to grow concerned that the same level of change in US society is required to meet this challenge. While I do not agree with the concept of mass incarceration and loss of habeas corpus, the nation must create a homeland security system to improve law enforcement and civil defenses.

Given the mob mentality in the radical circles, if the mob were to become armed or destructive, Los Angeles is a target rich environment with poor security. Coupling such naive people with the psyops of Al Qaida could prove disasterous to our peaceful communities.

These radicals are not patriots. They are selfish and worse, some are subversive.

I look forward to hearing our President's speech. I hope he'll come out swinging!
