Thus, when the dust clears, hope crumbles and the destitute, dependent, decadent masses turn on one another, progressives will have no one left to blame but themselves: not big business, not white America, not religious extremists. And then, perhaps, if only for one fleeting moment, the masses will realize they have forsaken the two greatest gifts in human history: freedom and faith.

I doubt it. Unemployment averaged 5.1% under Bush and within 4 years it has averaged 9% under Obama and yet they still blame Bush. I don't care how bad it gets, liberals will blame someone else and the MSM will help them in their cause. So I doubt that Americans will "wake up". With 47% of the nation paying no taxes and a hardened MSM propaganda machine it is becoming harder and harder for something like that to happen.
