“Never before in the history of mankind has a leader of a nation actively worked to destroy that nation. This is the situation we Americans are in. Obama is working constantly to find new and innovative ways to completely ruin us.”

Agreed. But then I think that's his objective, indeed the objective of all the so called “Progressives” in power...with the collapse will come a need for order because society can not exist in chaos —and then comes the tyrant to lead a new America - socialistic, dictatorial, without compassion, nor possessing patience to accept dissent —a new dark age of tyranny by the elite.

...something dark this way comes for our nation...

Thoughts?
'' Why? Throughout history imperial leaders inevitably emerge and drive their nations into wars for greater glory and "economic progress," ''

Lost my attention right there.

"Well given the size and the “location” of the USA it´s impossible to invade it."

Tell that to the barbarians invading us from the South.

Kinda reminds you of 1859? I always wanted to live in Interesing times but I was thinking of 1958.

Jared Diamond is an Idiot and has been since I started reading his crap. Think of the Gracchii, Gaius and Tiberius, and the Popularii, this is where we are.

[SunkenCiv]

:’) I’m a little dim, what’s the connection with the Gracchii and Popularii?

[Little Bill]

See Momsen, “Historia Romanarum”. The Gracchi:(Popularii) Fat boy, Clinton, Osama, LBJ, FDR, Truman, and those with their hands out.

Optimates, in modern terms, the rest of us.

We need capitalism with a vengeance, along with all the tax cutting support that goes with that scenario, in addition to drill, baby, drill to get us out of this mess. Anything short of that will be doom for America as we know it.

Any chance of that happening in the next 2+ years?

[SunkenCiv]

We need to control immigration into our country, period.

We need to ban Islam under existing hate speech laws, since it isn’t a religious issue (Islam isn’t a religion, it’s a political fetish). That’ll l’arn ‘em.

We need to get the government out of business, downsize it (except for national defense which includes our borders), and reform the tax structure.

And perhaps most importantly, we need to become independently wealthy in energy. Look what it has done for the wealth of the Muzzies — then consider how it’ll be when it isn’t all about government control and corrupt oligarchies.

Thanks SJ!

Throughout history imperial leaders inevitably emerge and drive their nations into wars for greater glory and "economic progress," while inevitably leading their nation into collapse.

I smell a near-religious belief system that drives all of the authors conclusions.
