Of course, after 150 years of NO revolution, You are correct in dating the last violent revolution to the unsuccessful attempt of the Southern states to leave the union. However, there have been two nonviolent, but profound revolutions since that time. The first dates to the rise of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. The earlier Progressive Era set up the mechanism for Federal expansion, but New Deal legislation and the subsequent World War II established the massive welfare/warfare states that has grown since that time, with the only, partial interruption since 1933 being in Reagan's first term.
The second was the cultural revolution, that is, the rise of cultural Marxism, as epitomized by the philosophy of Antonio Gramsci, Herbert Marcuse, and the Frankfurt School. The groundwork for this takeover was laid around the turn of the last century by John Dewey and his "progressive" education and the "higher criticism" movement in mainline Protestantism, which was the de facto state religion of pre-World War II America. Then the Great Depression devastated the Yankee elite that had dominated the country since Appomattox. A vacuum was created that the replacement elite trained by the influences of Dewey, Marcuse, and others filled.
Thus, we have had a cultural shift away from Christian and traditional values unprecedented in our history. Baby Boomers and Generation Xers who decry the decay echo the GI and Silent Generations' complaints during the hippie/Vietnam era, and the Lost and Missionary Generations disgust with the 1940s and 1950s.
I don't know if Donald Trump can be the catalyst for reversing nearly a century of institutional and cultural decline. Hopefully so.

Hmmm....So they join HILLARY in NOT ENDORSING Trump?
The times are changing. Take note, young conservatives. This is truly a moment to remember.

Their "refusal" is a big PLUS for Trump. It is becoming evermore apparent that the bush family fits right in with the criminal clintons , the saudis and their ilk.

Only Trump has to sign loyalty to the Republicans but the Republicans do not!
Does that about summarize it?

However, it IS true that there were WMDs in Iraq. The problem for Bush 43 is that we basically gave Hussein an engraved invitation to a war 6 months in advance...so because of this UTTER STUPIDITY, the WMDs were removed to Syria (with Russian help). Bush could have provided proof, but that would have shown how stupid he was to have allowed that to happen in the first place. Class A stupid mistake, followed by a Class A cover-up.That is the truth.

I can understand the Bushes not going-
I haven't even had a chance to vote in a primary, but my first choice was Jeb.
Turns out it didn't matter because once again, I never had the chance to vote until the candidate was picked...again.
But a rat named Romney won't be there. Gee I wonder why?
Soiled this election any way he could, and now he won't show his face.
Afraid to hear what the average voters have to say?
Don't want them getting that on video I'll bet....
Or is there planned trouble there in Cleveland.
Whatta rat bastard he is.
I AM SO EMBARRASSED THAT I LISTENED TO PEOPLE & DONATED TO & VOTED FOR ROMNEY & RYAN!
....AND MCCAIN! DAMMIT!

When Trump starts hurling blame for accumulated debt and wasteful spending, and much of it hits on the Bushes, disaffected dems might look at him again.

The connection between Bush Sr of Bushco and the Clintoon Crime Mob probably goes way back:
Old buddies, Bubba Clintoon, Bush senior and George Wallace.

Unfortunately, Newt did say that on Hannity’s radio show on Wednesday.
Newt went on to say how the rest of the world would accept Jeb as Secretary of State, how focused and smart Jeb is, etc.
Newt continued on about Jeb’s alleged virtues as a possible Secretary of State. Good God.
