I was purposely vague in my opening salvo - Just trying to see the mood of the community. It's interesting that the same few say the same things over & over (not a complaint about those who responded) on many related topics.
I honestly believe we are in serious trouble in teh next few months to a year. I do not think we will recognise our country (already don't) by Nov 2012. I will be very suprised if we even have a 2012 election unless it is a sham. BHo & co will have a new 'October' suprise for us just like in 2008. It will be a manufactured crisis again, but probably not economic. Martial law will be on us & away we go. The parallels to the Weimar Republic are too scary.
For the nay-sayers, remember BHo is a great historian (or so they tell us) & I do believe he & his handlers are book-smart on how to accomplish the oiverthrow of the gov't. Look what they accomplished in Europe. Now we are next on a larger scale & all is going according to plan. Yes there is a tea party - a group of people who have an inkling of what's going on, but who can't believ the endgame is what it appears. And so they will protest & vote etc. & accomplish nothing significant.
The juggernaught rolls on & we can't stop it with a minority of citizens. Prepare for the worst & hope for the best. I hope I am 100% wrong & it is all BS. But I don't think so!
