How Long?

How Long?

How long can a nation stay together when it’s reached the point that to protest runaway spending and nationalization of industries makes someone a racist bigot?

How long can a nation stay together when congress doesn’t care about the constitution, and members actually say so, in public?

How long can a nation stay together when equal protection means racial preferences and the SCOTUS plays along?

How long can a nation stay together when our borders are thrown open to anyone and everyone, even in the midst of the greatest economic slowdown in 70 years?

The real question is when, if ever, the people will start to ask why stay together at all……

How Long? What is holding this country together? It's a miracle we have any freedoms at all.

With this villain as the head of state, the destruction of the U.S.A. is imminent.

The problem with separation is that this is like a cancer that has spread throughout the entire body. There are no clearly defined boundaries.

I think the state is the clearly defined boundry. During the first revolution only a third were revolutionaries. A third were loyalists. If a state can get a majority, then that’s it.

Let us hope so, and hope that we can retake Congress in November.

What happens if that doesn't happen?

I estimate 15 years at best. The breakup will come in the early 2020s.

Sorry about the double post. It will take lots of hard work to salvage this ship before it sinks.

How long can a nation survive when more than half pay zero in taxes while receiving every benefit imaginable and less than half are supporting the non payers who are continually being prodded by government to ask for more??

Now the battle is joined in the neighborhoods, telling people the people you think can restore the country to where it needs to be. This is where the war will be won.

You will find many who think like you do, not exactly but enough to know who you can count on.

There has to be a spark or an ignition for things to change. Whether at the ballot box or by bullet something has got to happen within the next five years.

John Edwards talked about two Americas. This current occupant has created two Americas. The free America and the enslaved America.

He is now determined to make us all enslaved America.

It’s up to us to stop his madness.

“The problem with separation is that this is like a cancer that has spread throughout the entire body. There are no clearly defined boundaries.”

Unlike cancer, if there is a separation along state lines, people will move to a state the best suits them.
