The ONLY HOPE we have is a complete economic collapse so we can start over.”

*****

You may have a point there. Before I had thought economic collapse would be the vehicle the authoritarian’s would use to gain power as in Weimar Germany and countless other cases. And I do believe it was used to a certain extent leading up to this election. Now it may be the opening we use to counter this counter.

Good article. The only difference I have with it's conclusion is the timing. These tactics were used here successfully since 1932 and our running it's course. History plays out in waves. The wave is spent. Obama will be our Gorbachev. Trying to save a dying system. Ans my evidence for this is that these questions are being asked. Up until now the socialist were changing our country through stealth. Roosevelt's New Deal, and Johnson's Great Society were pure socialism...but nobody in public accused them of it. It is different now. We are actually debating if BO is a socialist. This is new. And the ONLY HOPE for a economic collapse is in the premise that we blame the right cause. Amity Shlaes’s book “The Forgotten Man” debunking FDR , Joe The Plumber calling BO a socialist are, Sarah P emerging are all evidence that the end is coming for the collectivists....just like it came to the USSR........THAT IS THE BATTLE.......to blame collectivism for the coming collapse

I am the furthest thing you can get from a conspiracy theorist, as my posts JFK have shown, BUT.

McCain was sailing in the polls when the economic “crisis” came, I’m a little more than suspicious.
