I have a proposal for the dems. YOU pick any system you want and then we can eliminate welfare.


AFronomics does not work. You can not redistibute brainsa and work ethics.
You do know you actually typed that, and didn't just think it, right? Wow!

So by your reasoning, why does everybody still hate the evil joooos? They value education, hard work, rising economics, refined culture, etc...

The one thing that all predictions of a total U.S. collapse (or other nation-ending calamity) have in common is that they have all failed.

For example:

Fulford - Collapse Of US Starting On 9-30-9 Predicted

Russian Scholar Says U.S. Will Collapse Next Year | Fox News

Joel Skousen : America To Be Nuked This Summer (Video) | Conspiracy Theories

It almost seems as if some people are eager for this to happen. I do not count myself among them.

Let history be your guide!

The "fruit" of the French revolution against the aristocracy:



The "savior" of the Economic Collapse of the Weimar Republic:



The brave new world of post-dynastic China:



The replacements for the corrupt Romanovs:





And the list goes on and on...

Our pal Pol in Cambodia:



In Chile after a military coup:



Italy, attempting to reclaim it's past glory:



Ancient Rome's past glory ended with a long line of absolutely horrific and disturbed emperors:



Shi Huang Di , the developer of the "Chinese way"... curing chaos by crushing all opposition, building big-ass walls, forcing compliance at all levels and generally ruling with an iron fist:




Need I go on? All rose to power amid a time of chaos, disaster and frustration with the dying previous generation power structure.

My prediction is that things will get bad... and when the "solution comes" it will REALLY get bad.

Umm, have you ever spent time in this forum? The C-D is breeding ground for anti-semites and jooo haters. Am I allowed to name names?

You're wrong with your first assumption. All civilizations do not collapse. Empires collapse. Empires are made up of many different civilizations (a better word is cultures). Individual cultures evolve and persist unless they are wiped out completely. Even when a culture is totally destroyed, most often from natural calamity or disease, members of that culture live on, subsumed by another culture, but still retaining their own societal and racial differences.

What makes you think that a dictator would ever be accepted by Americans? We overthrew our early dictatorship and we are the oldest and longest lasting democracy in history. We have absolutely no desire or experience living under a dictatorship, even though we love to claim in every election that one side or the other is bent on destroying the country and founding one.

More importantly, Americans always come together in the hardest times and take care of each other. Even if they continually argue and fuss, Americans always stick together. We have a greater desire to hang together than to break apart. That's because we have no single sub-culture, religious sub-culture, foreign heritage, or foreign traditions that are greater than those we have created for ourselves.

Winston Churchill called us The Great American Race. As an Englishman, and a member of the titled class, he fully understood our total lack of social classes among us.

No matter how bad things get, we'll do just as all our ancestors have done. Consensus will be reached. Divisions will be healed. The Constitution will remain our culture's governmental guidebook.

Lift your vision above the next crack in the sidewalk, and look back on the path we have all travelled. There are many cracks in that long sidewalk, but we still walk on it every day. Do not believe that the divisions of the moment will last- they never have, and never will.

And not a single one of them was an American!
