Decades from now, it’s possible that historians will look back and conclude that the American experiment, which began with its declaration of independence from and defeat of Great Britain, ended sometime between 1999 and 2014. As with Rome, the pivotal event isn’t obvious, and the list which follows isn’t all-inclusive.

No, the event that will be cited as the primary cause of the decline and fall of the US will be the Immigration Act of 1965. It set the stage for what has happened later.

I thought we were goners in the 1970’s which I thought were worse then today by a million miles. I could not stand Carter for even a second. We survived then and we will now. 2016 we may just get our “Reagan”. Remember many thought Reagan was just a Hollyweird actor in 1979-1980...he proved everyone wrong.

(Subtitle from the article) Have we lost our Founders' government?

The more important question is - DO we have a blueprint (the same Constitution) to start over after the collapse? How do we know the next experiment won't repeat the same errors committed previously?

So if we have provisions to "prevent that", it won't be the same Founding Fathers' governance, would it?

It was over in November 2008 and confirmed 4 years later in 2012.

This will be remembered in our history (if there is still such a thing as recorded history in our future) as the time when insanity, racism, envy, greed and hatred triumphed over traditional America. It will also become the singular milestone event wherein Christianity was supplanted by Islam and ‘diversity’.

I certainly hope I’m wrong, and I’m not suggesting that we hang our heads and give up. But it sure feels like we are already in the grip of post-constitutional despotism. The best counter-argument right now is that some in Congress have finally determined that passing laws or even discussing legislation while a lawless president is in office is a pointless exercise. Will enough of them figure that out in time to begin taking the country back?

What do you mean "them"?

It’s over for ‘Obama.’

Dems are avoiding ‘president’ Bari Shabazz, son of Malcolm X and FBI ‘Weatherman Group’ fugitive Elizabeth Ann Duke, who skipped bail after being charged in 1985 with the Brinks robbery in Nyack NY in whi. 3 law enforcement officers were shot dead.

Also, upon arrest, the mother of ‘president’ Bari Shabazz was caught with fake birth certificates, several SSN cards that weren’t hers, and equipment to manufacture forged ID.

She skipped bail in 1985 and became an FBI Most Wanted fugitive until after Barry was elected, when bizarrely, in 2009, Eric Holder’s DOJ dismissed all charges against the still-at-large mother.

Bill Ayers was in the same ‘Weathermen’ terrorist group.
Obama’s mother and associates formed a Communist splinter group dedicated to the violent overthrow of the US government, hence their bombings of the Capitol and a list of other buildings including the PBA and military facilities

From the article:

These days, the law seems to be whatever Barack Obama and Eric Holder want it to be.

February 27, 1951, Twenty-second Amendment.

Term limit of two terms, should have been for ALL federal offices, with elections of federal judges also with term limits.

The framers never foresaw that humans would live to be 100+
and thus did not include term limits as they thought that nature would remove elected officials from office.

It officially ended Tuesday, November 4, 2008. It unofficially ended a year before when the usurper was allowed to run for an office he wasn’t eligible for.

The failure by the U.S. Senate to convict Bill Clinton after his impeachment by the House was the first signal that the rule of law might not matter any more. These days, the law seems to be whatever Barack Obama and Eric Holder want it to be.

The rule of law is the only thing that saves us from the pitchforks and nooses of an Ochlocracy. A Republic only lasts as long as the time those in authority respect the law and honor their oath to uphold it. Such is not the case anymore. When a selected group of individuals, in this case Obama, Holder, and Reid take it upon themselves to decide which laws will be enforced and which ones will not, the Republic no longer functions. They took an oath to uphold the law, not make the laws on their own.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

The above describes the Obamanation to a tee. We’re in the midst of a profound “falling away,” and we find ourselves being led by a profoundly narcissistic and profoundly wicked man, who is called a “messiah” and “the one” by his worshipers. And it’s obvious he thinks those things of himself too. He has sat and spoken in a lot of “churches,” declaring God a liar, and his followers need to ignore Biblical passages that he dislikes. He loves wickedness and hates righteousness. If he’s not THE Antichrist, the real one must be a doozy.

But the Obamanation just reflects modern America’s depravity. That’s how such an evil man could be elected. Twice.

I don't believe it's over, but we are on shaky ground. I few bad moves could set off a chain of events that might be irreversible.

I mark the end of the great experiment somewhere between the New Deal and the Great Society.

This guy understands history and his comparison of Rome, Judea, and America show that ‘those who do not learn from history are deemed to repeat it’....I thought this explained a lot:

Never give up. Never cave in. If it takes CWII, this Constitution will survive and flourish.
