RUSSIANS SAY U.S. WILL DISINTEGRATE IN 2010: Could They Be Right?

High muckety mucks in Russia are predicting that the United States will fail in 2010. Baloney?

The economy is in deep problems and, despite throwing trillions of our hared-earned tax dollars into the empty coffers of banks, automakers, and other financial "giants," it's just not getting any better. The President is saying that he's not all that interested in what the financial markets are doing and Congress is turning a deaf ear to the populace. Oil prices have taken an abrupt turn upwards again, signaling further financial hardship on the horizon. Unemployment is rising, tempers are starting to flare and...could the stage be set?

If civil unrest breaks out in the United States this coming long, hot summer, could the President declare a State of National Emergency, suspend the Constitution, and outlaw guns? Could the President, under such a "National Emergency," shut off electronic access to the banks and our money, seize the oil companies and turn off gas at the pumps, and totally paralyze the country?

Let's take a positive look and assume that he's not going to do that. But.....just to pose the question, if he did, who would stop him? If thousands of Venezuelans and Mexicans, stirred up by Russia and Cuba, also started charging across our borders to the south, who would stop them?

My point is this: We Americans simply cannot be so glib and nonchalant as to jeopardize our freedoms and our democracy by not paying attention to what is going on.

“Owners of capital will stimulate the working class to buy more and
more of expensive goods, houses and technology, pushing them to take
more and more expensive credits, until their debt becomes unbearable.
The unpaid debt will lead to bankruptcy of banks, which will have to be
nationalized, and the State will have to take the road which will
eventually lead to communism.”

— Karl Marx

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
