We enslaved our young people so that old people could have ‘free’ meds and those little power chairs to drive around on. We’re doomed.
After the complete and utter collapse of this system, let’s hope that our military will restore order and bring back civilian rule but THIS TIME, let’s make a rule: ‘Government may pass no law which in any way influences/taxes/ regulates the economy and anyone working therein.’.
Here’s a graph of the collapse, the beginning anyway.

I really do think there will be a revolt/civil war in the next few years. I just hope the 2 sides will be based on morals, and social policy instead of race. Unfortunatley most black people are liberal and I’m not. Liberal that is.
I think you’re right, Jawara, about there being a civil war. And I hope you’re right about it being over social policy rather than ethnicity, because most liberals can’t shoot for sour apples. 
I fear, however, that despite all the progress we’ve made in this country to resolve ethnic hatred, it’s still there in a big way. In the inner cities, you have a lot of hatred and violence between blacks and hispanics. Elsewhere you have a lot of hatred between Asians and blacks, and in more rural areas you have whites who hate everyone. Simple ignorance explains a lot of it, but not all.
Political philosophy and morality are a lot thinner veneers than culture is, and even culture itself can’t really compete with the deep, deep instinct to bond with those who resemble ourselves, and reject those who don’t. The ones who have been able to overcome this, in situations when it really matters (like, say, the Bosnian civil war) are really the very great exceptions. As much as I hate to say it, I think non-governmental armed gangs are much more likely to organize along ethnic lines than along ideological lines.
You may scoff, but in Bosnia, people who had lived peacefully side by side for generations slaughtered each other without remorse once the ethnic lines were drawn. Bosnia isn’t really the best example, because there isn’t a hell of a lot of difference ethnically between a Bosnian Serb, a Bosnian Croat, and a Bosnian Muslim (all of them are southern Slavs, who simply inherited different religious traditions), but it would be wrong to call that a war between competing ideologies.
I really hope you’re right and I’m wrong, Jawara, because you’re a good man and I’d really like you on my side.
If you are right, however, would you be able to squeeze the trigger on another black man for subscribing to a “liberal” political philosophy?
Yes, because I don’t want to live a life of oppression. I’m no historian but I know enough about the Weimar Republic to know that I don’t want to live like that, and if I have to shoot I’ll shoot. Period.
If I’m right, would you squeeze the trigger on me for being deficient in melanin?
No.

I don’t know any black people that are liberals. I know they tend to vote democrat but they aren’t liberal. They are just confused about what they believe.
Which is actually kind of weird when you think about it…It was the southern democrats that where extremely racist and very much pro-segregation. It was democrats who kept racial discrimination alive and well up to the sixties. With out the racial discrimination of southern democrats, I believe racial equality would have been realized far sooner, but they were so powerful ever presidents where afraid to challenge them on it.

And they still hold us down with social polices that only lead to our destruction. Could you imagine how much better off black people would be if more of us stopped going to failed inner city public schools and started homeschooling? Thats just one example.
This thread deserves a bump.

Indeed.
I think the midterm elections will be interesting. For one far fewer people vote in midterms and congresses approval is even worse than before. I would love to see it flip, the obama would have to engage the republicans, which I am pretty sure will make him projectile vomit. Hell, he may even quit! Nah, there’s always hope. But I wanna see nasty pelosi sent home packing. I think I’d greet her at the airport with a bag of dog shit.

I’m reading this book now (simply because you’ve quoted in numerous times) and I can actually say I pity the fools who have made fun of you for quoting it. Good read so far, thanks.

Community service will include related “education”. Hello-o … is anybody home in there?

I agree. Same thing happened in Rwanda. The ethnic lines were drawn by the Colonists and carried over even after the Europeans were long gone.
One could only imagine what would happen in a place like LA with many gangs all based on ethnic lines. That place would turn into a no-man’s land and probably spill over into other parts of the US.

Yep. Our military, with their strong code of values, will save this country from itself. When the economy goes into utter and complete collapse and the politicians (aka scum) are no more in charge, our military will take over. Hopefully they will restore order and the ORIGINAL freedoms that made this country so great.
How many instances in history can you name in which the military seizing power for itself resulted in an increase of freedom for the citizenry?
We’re about to see the first.
Americans are the most moral people on earth. Look at Congress passing out all this ‘free money’ and all sorts of give away programs (Medicare, SS, medicaid, AFDC, on and on) and yet the American people still despise the criminals. They know these people are mostly criminals buying them off.
Our military will not sieze power but will have it thrust upon them. Being moral, they will return us to civilian power BUT with strict limitations which, one can hope, will prevent another collapse and descent into barbarism.

Does the term “American exceptionalism” mean anything to you? I’d highly recommend Bacevich’s latest book on the subject.
