The last paragraph is the best.

Wow. Depressing.

A rational assessment of USA today. The long overdue wake-up call will not come, as we thought, from conservatives, it will come from the inevitable disaster(s) brought upon us by the Democrats and their craven enablers in the GOP. But disaster it will be, in His 2nd term.

Dead solid perfect analysis, especially this last part, which solidifies the notion that this has all been done deliberately:

The United States finds itself in a circumstance once thought unthinkable. An ill-educated and near morally bankrupt society increasingly made up of those dependent on government combined with a governing class whose primary interest is themselves. The nation cannot, therefore, make any meaningful course correction unless and until the people finally understand they have been lied to and conned by the current establishment. That will, in all likelihood, not occur until America faces imminent collapse and the citizenry turns on those who brought the nation to its knees.

And to the good people who still are saying, "it can´t happen here", stick around. Better still, leave while you still can.

Leave to where?

Hear, hear.

Definitely a Must Read. A brilliant analysis of the confederacy of dunces, revolutionaries, and remoras on both sides who have collectively brought this great nation to its demise. And please note that he has correctly concluded that we are not just heading for bankruptcy, we are already there. There is no way we can extricate ourselves from the massive debt (correctly pegged at 222 trillion, not 16 trillion!) that we are now facing.

It will all collapse, as the Obamunists have planned all along. There will be blood. The only remaining question really is who will emerge on top after the collapse and coming violence.

Washington breaks the very laws they enforce on US!
That´s NOT ´illegal" plunder which is bad; that´s "legal" plunder which is even worse!

To better understand this difference please visit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Law_(1850_book)] and become familiar with "The Law", a book written in 1850 by the French writer Frederic Bastiat.

In The Law, Bastiat states that "each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property". The State is a "substitution of a common force for individual forces" to defend this right. The law becomes perverted when it punishes one´s right to self-defense in favor of another´s acquired right to plunder.

Washington has perverted the Law.
They refuse to audit the Fed.
They refuse to audit the Federal Government.
They refuse to be transparant in fund raising.

They pit the young against the old.
They pit race against race.
They pit men against women.
They pit one faith against another faith.
They pit one class against another class.

They claim our wages as their money.
The last paragraph is the best.


Before we rise again, we have to hit bottom first.
We are almost there!

...the moral hazards of democracy.

They may, someday, blame those who caused this disaster but so far they are only blaming those who predicted it and tried to prevent it.

You get to pay through the nose AND be blamed for the problem.

Had enough yet ???

a total must read, after yesterday´s well written but lacking article that we are not good image masters.

The government class is corrupt, whether they are willful or in denial, this is leading to collapse.

Not according to CNBC. All the pundits and hosts see better housing,black Friday huge, cyber Monday huge, slow but sure recovery,and with even a rumor of "rise above" a stock market just waiting to go to 17,000 This is the classic next quarter thinking in America. How did we get so stupid.

Nothing much else to say after this "must read"...except lock and load. We are in for 50 miles of rough road

First paragraph a winner.

Ignorant people of the past learned only from experience which was often painful: war, disease, famine, etc.

Education, especially studies of history and economics, was/is supposed to be a substitute for such experience. One did not need to touch a hot stove to know it would produce a burn.

But when education fails - or is sabotaged - we are back to experience as the only teacher.

Despite our technology and vast stores of the most minute data, we are returning to an intellectual dark age where people believe the government tends a money tree orchard; that the person attempting to run a business, offer goods for sale and possibly offer you a job is an evil, thieving SOB.

We now have millions raised in a cocoon of self-esteem and instant gratification convinced that government is a force for good and that individual rights are a hindrance.

AMEN!

If you thought that 1861-1865 was tough, just wait. When the goodies stop to 50% of the really stupid, that bump in the road we call the Civil War will seem like a Sunday picnic.

William Buckley´s worst nightmare has come true. We are now governed by the Harvard faculty lounge.

This writer hits the "nail on the head". Unlike the leadership in Germany working hard to save the Euro, the "governing class" in this country has no intention of solving any problems. It is political game time as usual.

"I´d rather be governed by the first 2,000 people listed in the Boston phone book than by the faculty of Harvard."

William F. Buckley, Jr.
(1925-2008)

...if the GOP would produce a conservative candidate that could articulate these truths, I have to believe that we would have won this last election. It´s time for a candidate to make the presidential election a referendum on liberalism, the government, and the media.

Dead on analysis from Mr. McCann, but I fear his last conclusion could be wrong. As things collapse around them the same hoard of dummies who elected and re-elected this communist scumbucket may cling to him all the more tightly, their ignorance and psychological investment in him being as ingrained as they are. At least, that is what Obama and his Cloward-Piven disciples are counting on.

Nice analysis until the last paragraph, which is a fantasy. McCann makes the case in the article that the populace has been propagandized and dumbed-down instead of educated, as well as having become morally corrupt. The most likely result when disaster hits is, then, that they will turn on the usual scapegoats rather than those who brought the country to its knees.

It´s the absolute truth. He is right about the Tea Party. I did not fully realize the moral rot at the core of my own party until the Tea Party candidates swept the 2010 midterms. The "party" apparatus works WITH the media and Democrats to destroy conservatives with real star potential. They have no intention of EVER allowing a true conservative RR to ever get the nomination again.

Unfortunately, the worse things get, the more dependent Americans will be on the government. Things will just get worse, I fear.
