I came across this today and oh boy are these people nuts? IBD and the 2nd American Revolution. I think too many people look upon the romanticized historical fiction that is the founding of this nation and think all the wrong things. They imprint their desires on the circumstances surrounding the birth of America and believe that they can return to a time that never existed, in a world that has completely changed. Too many think revolution will give them what they want. Its just another bubble. The bursting of that bubble though, will make the recent financial crisis look like a parking ticket.
A revolution would just be one sub-group's attempt to dominate the political, economic, and social aspects of the nation. However they fail to see the strength of America. Our divisive ideologies are actually what makes the nation strong. The debate is long and tedious. But in crisis we seem to come together nicely. The pendulum swings folks, don't forget that. It swings as necessary by the collective will of the people. Don't break it just because you don't like where its at this moment. Give it time, it will swing the other way.
The result of another revolution may not destroy the nation. We have the history of the civil war to thank for validating that possibility. But I sure as hell don't want to raise, protect, and nurture a family through such an event. What sane human being would promote such ideas?
