Duh! Sarah Palin will be the leader of the Revolution!



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Actually, I could see this starting to happen for real in about 100-150 years.  Europe has already taken quite a few steps in this direction.

As for the OP, only someone outside of America would predict this.  Personally, while it would suck, something does need to happen in this country.  Our leaders get swayed by lobbyists and ignore the problems this country is facing.  Instead of looking at the auto industry and fixing it (the auto industry can do this themselves) we're instead throwing money at the problem and hoping it goes away.  It isn't going to until we fix (get rid of) unions.  Unions serve absolutely no purpose in this day and age.  The ONLY thing they do is allow retired people to live super cushy lives (for some reason) and limit people so they do shitty work.  I can't fix that burnt out lightbulb, it's not in my job description.  The one that made me almost punch a union worker in the face.  "The hand soap is on the wrong side of the sink.  Please fix it, moving it isn't in my job description."

Getting off track a little complaining about union workers.  Anyways, our country deserves to go down if we keep pretending like these problems don't exist.  Throwing money at it isn't going to change anything.  The funny thing about most union workers, they don't see a problem with getting half your salary upon retirement.  They don't see how fundamentally wrong it is that you can't do something as menial as change a lightbulb.  They don't see how stupid it is that they can't stay five minutes late at their job to get something done for a customer.  Working with stupid/lazy union workers was some of the worst months of my life.  I have 10x more respect for people who work at Taco Bell.



It makes a great story for sure, someone should make a movie or something



"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," Panarin said.

So he's correct if it happen and correct if it doesn't.

Like weathermen saying 'there is a 50% chance of rain'



Ive been waiting for a reply that says 'well the only country that could destroy the USA is in fact...the USA, thats how hard we are'

But that comment has never come



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Unless Obama institutes a lot of crazy things, it's unlikely.

Of course, should he decide to ban guns, or create some sort of secret police...I am sure a civil war would happen.

Still, it's rather unlikely.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Personally I don't think you neeed to be a doctor in political science to predict that. Personally I have been saying this will happen for nearly a decade now.

The United States should return to having the government fear the people.

OT: That guy is pulled out by putin, because when the russian economy is collapsing russians want to be able to look at the americans and think they're doing worse.
