It appears the America I knew and loved will be a quaint memory.
By whatever means, the forces of the extreme left have undertaken, and apparently succeeded, in performing the coup de grace on a staggering nation.
The causes of their Presidential election-year victory are many. They include:
Demographics helped tip this election. This is another unrelenting trend. Single mothers will not lessen any time soon, and these women tend to view government as a caretaker -- and so they look to Democrats. There is talk in the Republican camp of loosening immigration standards and, probably, amnesty for illegal aliens. Therefore, we will continue to see an inexorable rise in the number of Latinos in America. I say this without judgment, but merely as an observation. However, they vote predominantly Democrat.
And as our students are relentlessly taught morals and values that the extreme left holds dear, the adults who will stand by our side, and eventually replace us, will continue to add to the numbers of the extreme left citizenry.
What can we expect?
I, your humble author, wish I had better news. I wish I had a solution to all this. I don't. Perhaps someone smarter than I can come up with an idea.
I will mention this: The solution must be Gramscian in nature, that would allow us to slowly subvert the forces of Marxism. Gramsci was a Marxist himself, and he came up with the concept of a 'political society' (which rules through force) and a 'civil society' (which rules through consent). The Marxists understood this and realized that the most powerful ideological shifts can only come by the will of the people. The failures of Nazi Germany and the USSR generally show the Marxists that force is a poor substitute for civil will. It should show us the same.
There are those among us I hear speaking of a complete collapse of the US economy as a solution -- a reset button, if you will. Does anyone seriously believe that a government that would follow would be MORE like the America of liberty and free enterprise that we yearn for? Remember, the citizenry (with great voter fraud help) voted Obama back into office after a miserable four-year leftist performance. Even without the voter fraud, there still remains fully half of America that holds the ideals of the left as sacrosanct. We can dismiss the 'reset button' idea as impractical and unlikely to achieve our goals.
Any solution we undertake will be and must be, multi-generational. We will not live to see its fruits. There must be a meeting of great minds to start determining a long term course that will help return our land to the liberty and the love of free enterprise we once had.
I do have some good news. It appears that the left is not choosing to kill its enemies, at least not yet. I hope they continue to remain nonviolent. If they have studied Gramsci well, they probably will remain nonviolent. Political force is ultimately self-defeating.
If that remains the case, we can still pursue our lives. We can raise our children, marry, laugh, love and honor our God, and enjoy and build the best life we can, albeit at a lower standard of living than we have had. I recommend that, while still searching for a solution to these issues, each and every one of you do this very thing. We have no control over the nation, ultimately (though we can impart our small spin) so enjoy your life to the fullest!
Nullification and yes... it could happen.

I do not suspect he will do that. What he WILL do, more likely, is to use the UN treaty (which will be miraculously passed by the Senate, in the Obamacare model) to make manufacture of new weapons and -- more importantly -- ammunition, prohibitively expensive and incredibly burdensome to obtain.
He will use red-tape to starve the industry, in the same manner other dictators have used food to starve a segment of their people that they do not want.

I suspect so as well, however, do not expect a return to the Old America when the nation is recast.
We know LLS. We know.
Do niot expect America to remain a union.

Do not expect America to remain a union.

That's a given.
This is what I think needs to happen, I don’t see any other option. Secede.
Speaking of it objectively, Laz, a junta could come from a non-response to a provocation, or even unrest from a black swan event. History is rife with these eras, and no less than de Tocqueville predicted as much for America.
Can you cite the de Tocqueville prediction? It would save me the lookup, and enrich this thread.
A thoroughly ILLEGAL cottage industry, replete with SWAT raids, informants, long prison sentences, and the rest. They've had 50 years of practice with the War on Drugs.
Any gun show that still survives will have them. The gun show I recently went to had them in plenty.
Should you attend a gun show (and I strongly suggest you do), bring lots of cash. You’ll be glad you did.
And like I said - There will be blood.
All I Wanted to Do Was Keep My Peace of Mind ... Well that’s gone! ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoKhUuZ0odY
thanks for writing what I have been thinking over the last few days as well...it is as if you read my mind...well done..
Some. But there is also blood in the drug trade.
Imagine a market meltdown, leading to "banking irregularities" as our economy goes over the fiscal cliff ahead. Imagine how General Obama will handle them.
Maybe we old whites should all "go Galt" to the max possible, and not pull the wagon any more. "Your turn. Good luck."
And move away from the predictably dangerous urban conflict zones, into deep red counties in deep red states. That CW2 Cube thing.
Actually, thank you for thinking all that. I sent a Cognizance Leech to you, and harvested it, then arranged the thoughts to form this essay.
Without you, this never could have been written.
