33 The beauty of the U.S. is that continued liberalism will mealy melt the bonds of the states to each other. As blue states grow fat under big government they will sink while the more conservative ones will continue to float. We are still, after all, 50 semi-autonomous nations, most of which are actually center-right.

It is important to retain some optimism and hope in these extremely troubling times. I no longer think that the U.S. is a center-right country. The millenials, our future, have embraced BHO and turned their backs on Christianity. More and more, I find myself identifying with being a Christian than an American. Most of us Freepers knew in SEP 2008 during the financial crisis that the U.S. was headed down the path of decline and that BHO would do everything in his power to accelerate that - and he has. But the theme of Revelation is that God wins in the end.

12/29/2008 – The Wall Street Journal printed an article entitled, “The End of the U.S.?” about Russian professor and political scientist, Igor Panarin, who 1st predicted in 1998 that the U.S. would probably disintegrate into 6 parts by JUL 2010. "There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur. … One could rejoice in that process ... .But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he said, its economy would suffer because it currently depended heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S. He forecasted financial and demographic changes within the U.S. which would provoke a political crisis in which the wealthier states would withhold funds from the federal government. These wealthier states would effectively secede from the Union, leading to social unrest, civil war, national division, and intervention of foreign powers. The break up would also lead to mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation.

Many idiots who call themselves Americans parrot the mantra' Diversity is our greatest strength.' That is a gigantic load of horse manure! America has all these factions that huddle together and listen to the most amazing imbeciles that purport to speak for each of these fractured segments of our population. ...

Agreed. We are living through the culmination of Gramsci's "Long March through the institutions" and the Frankfurt School's lethal infection of "cultural marxism."

My tagline = Martial Law freedom.

Few can handle it. Fewer know that it is slipping away and almost gone.

It was the basis of our government for over 140 some years until the progressives wanted to use government to create their Utopia through government intervention. That worked out well, didn't it?

Very insiteful article. Obama really is a cultural and political Trojan horse, any other democrat would have lost in 2012. Racial guilt and massive leftist media and entertainment media domination have given him the critical edge he needed to barely scrape by the massive failures of his actual totalitarian policies.

The left has dumped untold of sums into this enterprise for generation. This is particular evident in how they took over Colorado, and demostrated by the absoulte fantaicy world Obama voters live in regarding any thing that is not on their News & Entertainment networks.(like John Stewart)

Does anyone else notice how none thing is news to them unless someone like John Steward or MSNBC says it is? It doesn’t matter how long we have known about it, they discovered it and take it seriously only when leftist networks decide they want to acknowledge it.

Its like we are dealing with a population that doesn’t have a mind of their own anymore...? Or perhaps more realistically a population that is so ideologically bent against us and our messages that they will not accept anything we say or they see without their political leaders acknowledgement.

I guess the only other possibility is that they really do think and act with one collective mind.

Great observations about an unfortunately declining nation.

Greenfield is brilliant, as always, in this article, typically correct in all of his analyses

I agree; he is the very best right-writer today. But I did take issue with his statement "Much of Europe now favors less federalism...[whereas] The United States has expanded its federal government dramatically..." I believe this is an incorrect use of the word "federalism", which originally meant "a system of government in which power is divided between a national (federal) government and various regional governments." I think he meant to say "centralized" government, or "government concentrated in DC", since the entire thrust of recent events has been to shrink or countermand local governments. As examples, the Holder DOJ prosecuted the State of Arizona for trying to uphold existing Federal statutes on illegal immigration; and federal judges have been overturning traditional marriage statutes enacted by state legislatures or referenda, and so on.

We also need “bulldog” committee chairmen who are not afraid to tear into the Democrats with a vengeance.

I can think of one with lipstick!

...two million people, most of them young people, marched on the streets of Paris to protest "gay marriage." That would not happen in America.

First, the French have much more free time with their 35-hour (or is it less now?) work weeks and 2+ months of vacation.

Second, the French put in power the perverts who counterfeited marriage.

“Even morally, we are seeing the rest of the world waking up to traditional values, while America sinks further into the Obama cesspool.”


Perhaps it is the Lord, pouring out His
Spirit on men in the last days...awakening those who will be awakened...calling out His people from the ‘world’, and her sins....separating the goats from the lambs.

This is what I’m getting from it. Anyone else?
