Between the old fashion Stalinist and the growing Muslim Fascists, Darkness is coming and it will be a long time before it is dispelled, if ever.<br /> Too many people are mesmerized by the "Bread and Circuses" aspect of things.

They are helping us, really. Imagine the world to come. A man is valued by his hard work and his pragmatic rational ideas. Morality and truth and worship of the Creator is suddenly . . . normal and welcomed. (I do not envision a theocracy here.

You, Mike, hit the nail on the head right there (above) even if you didn't realize it.<br /><br />The 'problem' is that we have a welfare state, NOT that we have immigration.<br /><br />The first revolution was fought over 'taxation without representation'; the next, mark my words, will be fought over 'representation without taxation': the idea that you can vote and control the country even if you live off the largesse of other voters.<br /><br />That and that alone is what is at the heart of our problems. All the other 'problems' you think we have come right back to that one. If you can go through life relaxing and still be considered a 'valuable citizen', why go to all that effort?<br /><br />Almost all of us here, I'd bet big bux, are Americans because our ancestors were immigrants. But they didn't immigrate into a welfare state. In the words of Mary Chapin Carpenter, everything we got, we got The Hard Way. That is the -only- road to a free and prosperous America.<br /><br />Alas, I'm convinced we will have to impact hard on the bottom... a 'cratering event'... before most Americans wake up to that fact.

King Obama murdered capitalism when he negated investment contracts, and gave priority to his union supporters. Bold fraud in broad daylight and he got away with it. Capitalism is bleeding out in the gutter, and there is no saving it.<br /><br />The fight is unavoidable at this point.

By that I mean there is too little scrutiny of the massive programs of the left-fascists. <br /><br />I have no idea how to oppose such deep rooted fascism. To me, it started so very long ago with the federal collection of income tax and FDR's Socialist Security. It's just on a breathless course now.<br /><br />I think California is a canary in the coal mine of what is going happen economically nationally. The government will tax and spend right up to the point of disaster, where taxation just does not work anymore. The Feds, though, can and will print money--so get ready for hyper-inflation and/or a collapse of the monetary system.<br /><br />My meager brain says: get in shape, get out of the cities, become self-sufficient, don't trust money, just commodities, and of course, God (Yahweh).<br /><br />And be patient.
