Pollyanna! I’m 100% certain it will end that way, bar natural disasters like H5N1 pandemic and/or major war that clears some of the deck, so to speak.

But I am not hopeless. I think that the leftist crap and all that goes with it will be very, very subdued - in a while, and at least for a good long while. But we conservatives need courage, badly.

We have abandoned two generations to the hands of public school and university ideologues, and now we wonder why we do not have ‘conservative’ voters. We should have be pushing back for decades, but we didn't. We are reaping...

Add the pervasive indoctrination that American school children receive to the instant gratification society that we have evolved into because of our affluence in the age of the computer chip; stir with all the focus on pop culture instead of history and values of decency; and we have a recipe for a country that may not be able to be turned back to the Right.

Well, my fears is a civil war will tear us apart at some point in the future unless the libs have a "come to Jesus/God" moment, using a figure of speech here. I do realize there always have been divisions there like for example during the FDR days, but both sides had a lot in common where they pulled together and we fought as one and stood as one. I've seen places like Democratic Underground and some others who are so mean, they would put all of us in jail if not worse. Already in a way, we are in a war now but it is more like a "cold war" right now. I pray it doesn't go hot but I'm afraid there will be a point where some hotshot on their side or ours will start something and light the fuse.

I'm not too worried about bird flu, generally if you are healthy and practice good hygiene you're 70 or 75 percent there in surviving and/or not catching it at all. Atomic war, well, a civil war here can cause that or vice versa.

One of my favorite sites is John Titor, a supposed time traveller from 2036 who came to 1975 and 2000 where he says we end up in a civil war. Well, the time travelling part I'm dubious on, I mean I need more proof, but more likely, the story is put out by some person or group who is trying to warn us that if we keep continuing on this path, we will end up with a future similar in the story. I get the impression that whomever is behind this is of a religious/conservative/libertarian bent, there are elements of all three. You can read it at http://www.johntitor.com although I cannot confirm or deny the story, but I just point out that it is a warning to us to where we could be headed.

It really hurts me to even think that way, but we can't ignore it if we seem to be headed that way. It is like watching the old movie where you see two locomotives crashing and wishing you can stop it and hoping you can.
