Times are hard now and they’re going to get a lot harder in the weeks to come.

Obummer and his Marxist buddies WILL NOT yield the high ground quietly. They’ve been working for decades to reach this point and victory (by their definition) is too close.

I expect to see some triggering event by September at the latest. Once the “bitter clingers” start shooting, Obummer can impose martial law and suspend the Constitution — then all bets are off.

We’re sitting on a powder keg, folks. Please complete your stockpiles — soon.

Expect the best; but prepare for the worst.

As delightful a fantasy as this is, my fears are far more somber.

Of course Obama and his Marxist buddies will not concede power, but both themselves and ourselves are Americans, and there are a lot of firearms out there. Gun control was a failure. A lot of us feel quite free to express our disgust at our benevolent dictators. This means that their acquisition of power needs to be subtle and slow.

Which is what they’re doing, as I see it. There’s no need for the gulags and Stalinist terror, both of which would inflame emotions against the state. What I see is endless regulation, for the people, of course, followed by this program and that program promoted with the good of all but which has the actual effect of enmeshing more and more of us into dependency on the government. And it will be done with smiling faces! Happy voices! Children’s voices speaking in praise! Of course people will choose food stamps over starvation, as they have already chosen government loans for college over washing dishes, government-backed mortgages over saving money, government contraception at no cost, and hundreds of other little things, all for us, which slowly erode our liberty and self-reliance. You should live out here in the Alaskan Bush and see what these ideas have done to destroy the beauty and strength of Native culture. Having perfected their techniques on Native people and blacks, the state is now moving in on the rest of us. You’ll notice that neither Natives nor blacks are fighting back. The rest of us won’t, either.

Keep your guns. Go to church. Listen to Mark and Rush. The web of dependency already runs deep. We won’t have a Bolshevik revolution, or even a Reichstag fire. The American version of the revoluton is more akin to cancer, and by the time the victim really feels it, it’s been too late for a long time.

God help us.
