While food for thought, I can’t abide the article. Inflation, our treatment of bankers and our business models won’t have very much affect on if America continues or “ends”. These are just symptoms.
Embracing cradle-to-grave socialism, usurping previously Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, destroying the family, rejecting God, flooding the nation with immigrants who won’t assimilate, and draining the treasury with unsustainable entitlements are the real signs that since the 1960s, we have begun our end.
The nation can ONLY survive with a moral, informed electorate. It remains to be seen if this describes the silent majority or not. If the moral informed portion of our populace is soundly outnumbered by immoral, apathetic, and uninformed voters, than we are doomed.
We’ll see. It won’t be one episode of hyper-inflation that ends us. If there is a moral silent majority, the more pain we have now economically, the more informed they will demand to be now that the wool is being pulled from their eyes, and the more they will reject secular communism.
I’m not optimistic, but I pray this describes most folks. I think we are crossing the threshold with the majority caring about nothing but their lifestyle, their garages filled with materialistic crap and a free ride, and they will surrender any freedom to secure it. JMHO.
“I think we are crossing the threshold with the majority caring about nothing but their lifestyle, their garages filled with materialistic crap and a free ride, and they will surrender any freedom to secure it.”
You know, its arguable that our present state is the inevitable result of a people which inculcated the “Greed is Good” mentality of the 1980s. All the talk of America as a Christian nation, etc. was and is garbage. America’s god became money and “materialistic crap” and we went along with the Ivan Boeskys of this country and created a government, whether headed by Ds or Rs, designed to advance that godless materialism. And now we get to reap the whirlwind.
