As one redeemed by the Lord Jesus, I do.
I think there will be sections of the United States that attempt to secede. I doubt it will happen easily, because the areas that would like to leave have stuff like oil and agriculture and low debt that the rest covet.
Alaska might have a shot, geographically remote, maybe become a Russian protectorate.
Note: From Wikipedia:
June 10, 2008, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, along with co-sponsor Robert Wexler, introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush to the U.S. House of Representatives. The House voted 251* to 166 to refer the impeachment resolution to the Judiciary Committee on June 11, where no further action was taken on it.
*24 Republicans voted y
Doc Brown.
I think it's reasonable to point out that this is by no means a universal series.
It's (sort of) what happened in Greece and Rome, and in some of the Italian city-states and later in western Europe and its offshoots.
But AFAIK this path was never traveled in the ancient, Muslim, Chinese, Japanese or Indian (dot OR feather) worlds.
This percentage is, of course, split between those who think we're moving left much too fast, and those who think we aren't moving left fast enough.
Clearly Future-America will not own its then Present, when that time arrives, since it will have been spent many times over. With a $17 T debt, on its way to... well, until things break, the future cannot by definition own its own time, as it will be indebted to paying off its past and our present.
Future?
It mattereth not.
Who CONTROLS the past has an AWFUL lot to do with it though!
Does it matter? King 0bama will just take it away and give it to an illegal immigrant.
Certainly no one with a $14T debt and another who-knows how many trillions of unfunded liabilities.
Whoever owns the gold makes the rules
He who makes the rules owns the future
China and Russia
Future generations, not us, own the future.
All we can do is leave a good example and try to warn them.
And teach history.
I believe the remark...”We should have picked our own cotton” has the ring of truth........
Nor is this the exceptional crisis of a particular presidency. Buchanan is right.
For a few generations since 1913, congress tried to be all things to all people. In recent decades it gave up constitutionalism entirely and sought to satisfy the Left, while it attempted to placate, yet simultaneously destroy the middle class. In the process it ended up p!ssing off almost everyone outside of the DC metro area.
Until Charles De Montesquieu, republican theory held that representative or direct democracies could only exist in tiny geographical territories like the ancient Greek city-states. Over large areas, some form of despotic rule was necessary to check disparate peoples of various customs and traditions.
The beauty of Montesquieu's theory was that a republic composed of republics could dash the age old lesson of despotism across continents. He was right, and the American system of republics within a larger republic spread and nurtured untold wealth, prosperity and freedom.
Unfortunately, the American republic of republics was dashed with the 17th Amendment. It took a hundred years, but we are facing what the Framers knew, that centralized, undivided power meant the certainty of undivided tyranny.
“Far from being something to fear, Milbank writes, this “is to be celebrated. Indeed, it is the key to our survival.” Immigrants pouring in from the Third World will bring a “fresh labor supply” and “fresh blood to cure us of what ails us.” A tired America will be revitalized.”
Two decades ago BJ Clinton attended a ceremony marking the tipping point in California; whites had dipped below 50% of the population. How did that work out for them? Are the few prosperous parts of the state happy providing every necessity (and many luxuries) for the rest? It killed the state; the non-whites weren’t just coming here for the “American Dream” - plenty of them were coming to re-distribute the fruits of whites’ labors.
The US will no longer have a white majority much sooner than these stories project; they must be using antiquated birthrates. I’d be surprised if we reach 2020 with a white majority. Anyone who has seen playgrounds, schoolyards, and maternity wards knows these projections are absurd; they are being thrown out there to prevent a panic and/or reaction. We were told blacks would be passed by Hispanics in numbers by 2010, and immediately after the 2000 census we were told it had already happened; why would this be any different?
