    I personally do not feel that we as a nation are on the verge of a civil war or need to overthrow our current constitutional government. It has problems and it always has had problems. We have faced greater difficulties in our nation's history and we have overcome them. Not everyone is happy with the outcome of those solutions, but we continue as a nation trying to work through our differences.

    It seemed to me that the author was calling for a revolution, without coming out and saying that we need to overthrow the government.

    Am I really that far off in missing the point of the author? I just wished he had come right out and said what meant without the subterfuge.
    I personally feel as though we are right back where we were in the 1840s. There are two very divergent ways of thinking in this country, and we are watching a ping pong match between the two. I don’t see how socialists and the proponents of limited government can coexist in this winner take all atmospheres; it simply can’t work. Unfortunately, this country is moving steadily toward socialism; it really depends on when people reach their breaking point. Given the demographics of the country, the influx of illegal aliens, and the centralization of power, it just doesn’t look promising. In the next ten years, I predict major erosion in our liberties. It will be interesting to see who takes a stand and to what extent.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    That was a hell of a wrap up to a very long and debated conversation. BOY GOATS....HAHAAHAHHA.

    In all seriousness, I am not a Romney fan, but when it comes to pulling the lever, he will prob get my vote. It will be interesting to see what goes down at the GOP Convention. One thing that sticks in my mind.... Romney wasn't good enough in 2008 to get the nod, what makes him any better today. Is it simply because McCain isn't running? I dunno.... I speculate there, amidst the conscious consideration of Boy Goats.

    Both options are just terrible. I won't be voting for either.

    I've only voted for an incumbent president once. It was a mistake I won't repeat. No matter how bad ANY president from either party is, their worst deeds are in term 2.
