...the ossified and blinkered chattering classes are wholly unprepared for what’s happening to them...

Thought you were much older!

Must be all the wisdom you have ;)

Being old I should be rooting for slow as that means I can reach escape velocity before it gets ugly. On the other hand, life is for living and sticking around long enough to see the collapse has its attractions...know what he's saying - when the party's going strong you hate to leave, but when it's about over and it's time for the cleanup, you get to the point where you don't mind leaving very much at all....

For real ? The elites have replaced close to 30% of the American voting public with third worlders with millions more to come. WW 2 was a picnic compared to this. We are being replaced. We are being demographically removed from the country....that can’t be fixed, ever.

"I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet, this ain’t December 7, 1941" I'm a Cruz guy. If Trump takes it, OK. If Hillary somehow skates through, then I'm done.

” it’s just a question about half fast we intend to drive into the abyss. Being old I should be rooting for slow as that means I can reach escape velocity before it gets ugly. On the other hand, life is for living and sticking around long enough to see the collapse has its attractions.”

Ditto for me.

Although I’m hoping for Civil War II with the return to the Constitution as written after it’s over. No point wishing to throw away our children’s future. It will have to commence now though before all of us that learned about the Constitution and founding fathers are gone.

“I’m skeptical about Trump. I think his lack of restraint will be his undoing.”

I find his lack of restraint refreshing. I think many others feel the same way.

Agreed. And I think his undoing would have already happened. Every supposed "mis-step" simply boosts his poll numbers. Face it Republicans, you brought this on yourselves and I say that as a former hardcore Reagan Republican, now Independent, who you chased away with your McLames and Romneys. Enjoy!

"WW 2 was a picnic compared to this"

The enemy within is the one that destroys you. That's why I say if Hillary skates I'll know.

“People who can judge character automatically like Trump.”

And he can sum it up succinctly . When he said that Rand Paul was having a bad night and that Bush was low energy, those were amazingly accurate and have resonated.

Trump/Cruz is the combo only that seems to me capable of turning power back to the States, probably via that Article 5 Convention. Whether they would actually do that once in position is not a foregone conclusion and not a good bet, either.
In 2016 we are voting for the man we want for Dictator, no matter what we call it. Some good guys running will still be Dictator if they win but will likely be Failed Dictator because they try to hew closely to traditional Constitutionalism in order to get back to the Constitution. It won't work that way. Congress will use what power it has, which is the power it had ceded to the President and he tries to give back by being Constitutionally correct, to oppose and neutralize whatever he tries to do.

A Trump, if he is so minded once elected, could accomplish the abolition of EPA and the other pernicious Agencies which is the first thing that must be done. If that is not done the Agencies, especially EPA will seize the power the new President has foregone by not abolishing them by fiat and force of arms if necessary and EPA will rule. Then, if he is so minded, he must use his influence, not raw power, to persuade the States to quickly go to the Article 5 Convention and thereby take their Constitutional power back.

I would not bet on it happening but I see no other way back to the Constitutional Republic we once were. There is always armed and violent Revolution but that never ends well. 1776 was not, in fact, a Revolution. It was a rebellion against essentially a distant foreign colonial power, even though most of the rebels thought of themselves as Englishmen.

It’s all laid out in his book, “Time to Get Tough” available at booksellers everywhere!

$18t in debt, unsustainable unfunded entitlements, having to keep the interest-rate near zero because raising it even 1% would mean we cannot pay the interest on our debt, buying our own bonds because nobody else wants them ...

Hardly small potatoes.

Looking back in history, the only way out of massive debt is hyperinflation. Look how well that has worked out for other countries.

59 years here walking on the topside of the terra firma. Had the influence of the WW2 generation, baby boomers, Gen X and all the rest. We’ve seen a lot and what a roller coaster ride it has been, While Heaven is our eternal home, we still want what’s true, right and noble here in the nation. It frustrates us for we know what needs to be done but fools and morons have led us astray. We gotta finish strong as we must and leave it to the Almighty One when the journey is done.

“... [L]ike taking pride in BEING an American citizen ...”

Well put. This morning 300+ bikers thundered to Ground Zero. I overheard everyone at the bar talking about Trump.

Something is happening.

I know a lot of people have a negative view of network marketing, but think about what he's saying.

What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?

I only have to get two of them. After that they can never even the score. ;-D

[spacejunkie2001]

this has been my message for a while now: it’s not the messenger, it’s the message. So, people going after trump are really going after those of us that LIKE the message and have been dying to hear someone, anyone, shout it from the hilltops.

I’m not a fan of trump in the sense that I’m a PURE conservative and cruz is my guy. But I damn sure don’t like anyone going after him because they’re going after me when they do it. And that pisses me off.
