With Obama’s popularity plummeting, it appears that he is resorting to the typical liberal tactics used to cover up their failings; bash Bush.   Claiming he inherited all of the current problems, he and his left wing cronies are once again lashing out at the former president. Interestingly, when Bush was in office unemployment was less than 5%; today it is more than 10%.   Perhaps it is time for liberals to look in the mirror and realize that liberalism will always fail. It failed under Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mao and Carter just as it will fail under Obama.

Rather than telling us what to eat, which doctor to see and what kind of car to drive perhaps now is the time to craft some real solutions.   So just what are the liberals doing to fix the current economic woes? They are sneaking through “card check” legislation that will outlaw the ballot box in union elections, requiring employees to raise their hand in public which will subject them to intimidation if they vote against organizing.   They are trying to ram through healthcare, despite the irrefutable fact that socialized medicine has failed the world over.   They are pushing the so called “Fairness Doctrine” which is designed to silence conservative viewpoints.    They are sneaking through a bill that will grant amnesty to 13 million gate crashing criminal aliens. What they aren’t doing is providing any meaningful solutions to fix our problems.   No wonder their poll numbers are in the toilet, the very place their insidious and un-American legislation belongs.

Today Rasmussen released a poll in which 49% say that America’s best days are behind her. Only 38% think we have better times ahead.  That is a sad commentary on our society, but there is a silver lining in that this means that even some kool aid drinking Obamabots have realized the errors of their way and are rethinking the messiah’s ability to walk on water. 

The reality is that as long as liberals remain in power we will suffer tremendously.   With the monetizing of our debt at the fastest rate in history it is only a matter of time until inflation rears its ugly head.    Once the prices rise precipitously, the interest rates will have to be raised to reign in the cost escalation. Liberals don’t get it because most of them couldn’t pass a basic Economics 101 class.   While kicking the Pelosi/Reid/Kennedy crowd to the curb would be a good start, I’m actually rethinking my hopes that it would happen in 2010, as our economic misery will peak about a year after that and the media would most certainly blame Republicans if they somehow managed to take back Congress.   I want 100% of the blame for our misery, which is going to get A LOT worse, to be on the shoulders of liberals for generations to come. I want the public to be sooooooooooo angry that in 2012 Obama suffers the most humiliating defeat in history to a true conservative; not some middle of the road, nanny state, country club elitist. 

In the meantime, it’s time for us to do our duty as true patriots and share the gospel of what made America great; God, guns, family, economic freedom and individual liberty. It’s time that the government become fearful of the people, as that is the only true path to liberty.   This is precisely why liberals hate hearing the truth, because they understand that throughout history the only way to institute their tyrannical ideals is by indoctrinating and controlling the masses.   In the end, freedom can prevail but only in the event that we finally find a cure for liberalism, a disease that has cost more lives throughout history than all others combined.

Russian professor Igor Panarin has suggested that the United States is on the verge of collapse.   He initially made this prediction 10 years ago, and this week granted an interview to IZVESTIA this past Monday where he reiterated his dire outlook.

I believe that there is a lot of credence to what Panarin is saying for several reasons. First, our dollar is not backed by anything. Until the 1970’s, our dollar was backed by gold.   However, going off the gold standard left us with dollars that were realistically backed by nothing but hot air and our reputation as the world financial leader. 

Second, our debt as recently as the 1980’s was non-existent.   When Panarin made his first prediction of the demise of America in 1998, our debt was $2 trillion.   Today our debt is $11 trillion.   I would ask you, is this a house of cards ready to fall? 

Third, we are seeing some of our largest, oldest and most respected banks either bankrupt, on the verge of bankruptcy or in government receivership.   This crisis, while initially the fault of the federal government, is spreading like a plague throughout the private sector.   The question is whether or not there is a cure. American’s put their stock in the rhetoric of an Obama administration, so the reality is there is no cure.    

Panarin goes on to suggest that America will break up into multiple parts, or nations.  Historically, the average life expectancy of any free society is about two hundred years. We are well beyond that, and arguably are no longer the free society that we once were.  

The political divide in our nation has become increasingly polarized with northeast and west coast paradigms that are extremely different than the southern and western regions of our nation.    There are currently more than two dozen secessionist movements underway, and it is likely that one or more of these will ultimately succeed. 

For the past fifty years we have watched our largest cities deteriorate, as jobs moved overseas and increasing taxes, high crime and lousy schools forced the achievers to the suburbs.   The result has been inner city chaos with many cities either in or headed for bankruptcy.  

If the Big Three go under, what will that do to an already decimated Michigan economy? If the banks go under, where will that leave New York or San Francisco? Panarin suggests that the demise of these cities will result in 6 distinct nations forming in what was once the United States. The west coast, the northeast, the western states, Texas, the south and the middle part of the nation.  

I don’t necessarily disagree that this will eventually happen, although the alignment of these new nations may be somewhat different.   In all likelihood, a west coast alliance is a good bet given the shared propensity for socialist idealism in California, Washington and Oregon. There will be a southwest alliance as the result of the reconquista, or retaking of the land that illegal aliens seek to procure, called Aztlan. The reformation of the south, with boundaries similar to the Confederate States of America would bring together states with similar religious values and customs.   The northeast has long held a worldview much different than the rest of America, and like the west would foster a new government based upon socialism.   The Midwest and northern tier of states with their ties to Canada, as well as farming and manufacturing would likely evolve.  As for Hawaii and Alaska, they may each achieve the independence that many residents already seek.

Will this happen in our life? I would put the odds at better than 50/50 that we will see a change in the boundaries of what we consider the United States in the next fifty years.   The polarization amongst the electorate is indicative of a cultural civil war already being waged.   The election of Barack Obama has resulted in purchases of guns reaching record levels; meaning that our cultural civil war could become much more if the direction of our nation is not altered. 

Arguably, now more than ever, is the time to step up to support real American values of hard work, self reliance and rugged individualism.   The people with these values will be the ones who capitalize and benefit from whatever is going to happen.   Having an escape strategy is not a bad idea, although any destabilization of our domestic economy will have negative ripples throughout the world.  

The life cycle of any free society involves eight phases.   The society begins by breaking the shackles of bondage and moving to spiritual faith. It then moves from faith to great courage.   Then comes liberty, followed by abundance.   The abundances leads to complacency which turns to apathy. This apathy results in dependence and inevitably back to bondage. As you consider the predictions of Panarin, give some thought to where we are as a society. My best guess is that we are somewhere between apathy and dependence.   Considering the election of Obama, I would lean towards the latter. 

As the government takes over businesses, threatens to silence free speech, ban guns and seize our 401k plans, it would appear that bondage is within reach.   Consider the words and predictions of Panarin, brush up on your 18^th and 19^th century U.S history and then come to the realization that history repeats itself. It always has and it always will.
