It seems quite apparent that - projecting current trends in economics, demographics, and politics - the nation in 2012 and beyond will bear little resemblance to the American republic of even a generation past.

What seems to be emerging is the transformation of the United States into a variety of European-style socialist entity with diminished world influence and a crippled economy; a first-rate military increasingly hobbled by mediocre political leadership, crowds of cowardly foreign policy wonks, and an MSM increasingly inclined to bash America and embrace the sort of One-World, United Nations, multi-culti philosophy which has become so intellectually chic.

It will be increasingly run by armies of anonymous, staggeringly incompetent, unelected bureaucrats of a very pronounced PC and Leftist character, far more interested in their turf battles and preserving perks and privileges than in serving the people who pay their salaries.

With the continuing moral decline of the people, broadly speaking, and the “education” union maintaining their grip on the dumbing down of generations coming up - while, at the same time, continuing to indoctrinate them in the Leftist part line - there can be little hope, if any, that new generations of citizens will know of, much less understand, just what is the nature of the precious legacy of enlightenment and freedom, bequeathed them by the Founders and many generations of selfless patriots, that is being stolen from them.

In the end, America, once the richest and most powerful nation in the entire history of the world, protected on two sides by enormous stretches of ocean, and, for the rest, by a virtually indomitable military, will destroy itself from within.

Pretty stupid, but there it is.

We'll find out today as The Obammunist has called out his army of communist organizers to canvas the country and take down names of people who do not support his plans.

Mr. Lincoln said it well in his Hall of Presidents speech:

President Lincoln

I keep a link to this on my desktop, and listen to it at odd intervals, usually after reading something that alarms me.

I have, for some decades, believed that a Second American Revolution was the only possible salvation for us. The problem: it would probably resemble the French more than the American. Both these things are even more obvious today than even a few years ago. But I admit that a sort of nihilism has crept into my thinking. An American French Revolution would not be productive of much of lasting value, but it might at least be cathartic!

Exactely what ol Abe Licoln said. America will destroy its self from with in. No foreign army will ever drink a drop of water from the Ohio river. Not even pres. sh-t head can bring that about. But he may try.
