I started off my response by quoting many of the posts in this thread because I thought they were spot on. The problem with that is I found I'd be quoting just about every post in this thread. Suffice it to say that I'm happy to see that so many here seem to really "get it" about what's happening in our country and the world as a whole.
Unfortunately, with the current state of affairs in our country and most of the world, I don't see the trend reversing. What I see coming is these "progressive" ideologies bringing on a complete destruction of societies. The path we're going is not only unsustainable, but it sets cultures into a dependent state that, once the floor drops out of the ability to provide for them, there will be wholesale rioting and slaughter. I believe that the best the folks who think like us can do is to prepare for ourselves and our families to ride out the tide, stand back as we watch the annihilation unfold, then pray that there are enough pieces left over that we can rebuild - also assuming that there are enough of us left after all of the collateral damage takes many of us along with the others.
