I've wondered ever since the September attacks in 2001 and the government's hasty kneejerk "solutions" on the home front, whether we've not been playing directly into the hands of the islamonutjobs desire to destroy "the great satan" (us, in their distorted view). Since then we've seen so many of our accustomed freedoms eliminated, been burdened with incredible restrictions on travel, money, banking, "security" at every turn, it led us into what seemed like one "just war", which has turned out to be a whole string of them with no end in sight. We've watched as billions of dollars get sent offshore, doing us no good here at home, for "defense" and "stabilisation", have surrendered our sovereignty too foreign nations and international organisations in way of treaties, submit to piracy on the high seas with little significant response.... and we are the nation that arose and threw off the yoke of tyranny imposed by a barmy British Parliament some 250 years ago? Oh, that our pulpits would again be filled with the likes of the "blackrobed regiment" of Revolutionary times. Instead, even a "secular" politician the likes of Ron Paul is marginalised and branded a radical nutcase.
I wonder, too, whether California might not be leading the way in descending into chaos, which will surely lead to an awakening of wisdom and integrity as all other means are tried and found wanting. Interesting times. It makes some of the reading I've done on historical events seem the more believable. How can so many fall for so much for so long? It took a Pearl Harbour to shake us awake Years of Lend Lease in Europe went unheeded. BUT-- once galvanised into action, we arose and met the challenge. I believe that sort of character is not gone from our nation.... yet.
