An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Something to Seriously Think About
Racing Toward Revolution?
by J. D. Longstreet
There is a strong undercurrent of anger just beneath the surface of American society these days. It is a “teeth-grinding” anger. It is hot and wrathful while, at the same time, cold and calculating. In short — it is in a state of “becoming”. Becoming what? It is becoming, I am very afraid, a spirit of revolution.
To anyone looking objectively at the USA today, it is clear — this country cannot survive as she is today. That is the reality.
The population is very nearly equally divided on practically everything. We are constantly at each other’s throats. We are fast becoming a bitter, unhappy, people. The famous American optimism is gone.
What happened? Socialism happened.
Socialism is a terminal disease to any country unfortunate enough to contract it. The FDR Administration first exposed America to the disease of socialism. With The Obama Regime America has advanced to stage four, or terminal, condition. In short: America is dying.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines socialism as:
1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property . b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3 : a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.
Winston Churchill once said: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
Now that America’s government has chosen socialism it has separated itself from “The People.” It is no longer representative of the wants and desires and, yes, even the needs of those it governs. Many Americans are aware of this widening gulf, which has developed in the past two years, or so, between the American people and their government. It is a gulf they feel cannot be bridged — ever — again.
Until the congressional elections of 2006 the American people had a connection, tenuous though it was, to their government. After the election, and the socialist tendencies of the new congress became apparent, many Americans recoiled in horror at what they and their fellow Americans had created. But the dye was cast. The Rubicon had been crossed. America had stepped over the demarcation line that defines where democracy stops and socialism begins. With the election of Obama, in 2008, America took a giant leap into socialism and, in doing so, in my opinion, sealed her fate. The representative republic of America doomed herself. We are just beginning to feel the effects of the death throws of the greatest nation ever to have graced this globe.
The near collapse of the American economy did not “just happen.” I am convinced our near economic collapse was planned and the near crash was executed according to that plan. America had to be broken to prepare the way for the socialism the Obama Regime was bringing into the American government. It worked — and, as a result, America is infected and rotting at her core and death is imminent.
What of the Revolution? It will not be likened to the revolution, which bought us our freedom. THIS revolution will be different for Americans.
Americans, of the conservative persuasion, have begun to coalesce around an idea that one of two things must happen. America must be healed by a complete take-over of the dying government by conservatives in 2010 and 2012, or, Americans must agree to split the states into two separate countries — one conservative and the other socialist. To remain as a single country means the death of all 50 states. That is not acceptable. Conservatives agree that you amputate that portion of the body with national gangrene… socialism… in order to save that portion of the country that is healthy.
It is my contention that the break-up of America will follow, to some degree, the break-up of the 1860’s. The southern tier of states will, for the most part, remain as a single entity. — with the notable exception of Louisiana. Louisiana has become so used to being a ward of the federal government they are unable to fend for themselves. Should the southern states accept her into their “country” she will, most likely, be broken up and the several parts given to the states that now surround her. No single state can afford to be the soltary “care-giver” for Louisiana. Some states, such as Texas, may decide to become a Republic, or in Texas’ case simply revert back to being a republic, a country unto herself.
The states on the left coast and the states on the northeastern coast will, of course, be the die-hard socialist states and will have to figure out their own survival. As their money dries up, the northeastern states may well apply to Canada for acceptance into the Canada. The states on the western coast will probably do the same, but, I expect they will apply to China to sponsor them as client states.
What about all those states in the middle of the former USA. My guess would be lots of small republics will be formed through-out what was the heartland.
Of course, I am guessing about the alignment of states after the collapse of America. But think for just a moment. A goodly number of conservative writers are speculating about the same thing. SOMETHING is about to happen. To think that America can survive in her current state of apathy and ignorance is to chase after an ethereal dream.
Just a few questions remain. Are we being set up for “Global Governance” — for a “One World Government?” Was America’s death premeditated? Was it murder? I am convinced there is a one word answer to all those questions… YES! For those who would rule the earth and all upon it, America was an obstacle. That obstacle will soon be gone. What then?

We have become too lax, lazy, dependent and confy to ever possibly have a revolution. The angry people in this country are a small percentile, unfortunately. Most people accept whatever the gvot does.
Revolution will never happen, sadly enough.
I say sad because it should have a long time ago.
I love how this guy quotes Winston Churchill – a great man – who was incidentally involved with the setting up of the NHS!
You people seriously need to get a clue.
And YOU, mossrom, seriously need to remove your head from your hinder and stop bowing to Mecca!
I’ve no doubt Churchill would be appalled to see how many whiny tiddy babies are now in control of his beloved country. A once great nation reduced to a bunch of sniveling wimps. I’d prefer NOT to see the same happen here.
It’s almost too predictable… don’t let the fact that part of the article you post is based on a falsehood get in the way of your insults.
So you deflect my perfectly valid and completely factual point about Churchill and counter me with a lovely piece of ficticious and insulting rhetoric – seasoned with a completely irrelevent snipe about Islam (wtf?).
I’ve no doubt you’ll ignore this once again and call me a socialist liberal or something equally childish and stupid. But please show a little respect and don’t try to speak for the dead to further your own blinkered views.
Psst! SFB! My name is NOT J.D. Longstreet. Not the brightest bulb in the box, are ya! And I happen to agree, being a socialist liberal is childish and stupid. We agree on something.
Was it Churchill’s intent to have GB become the same sort of country he fought so hard against? Where’s the falsehood in that?
Mossrom youre a hypocrite. You go off on a rant about something that has nothing to do with whats written here, then accuse OB of it. How about sticking to the topic instead of trying to misdirect things to where you might POSSIBLY have some sort of leg to stand on, which even then is weak and wobbly. The Churchill quote was:
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
How about that? Whats your take on socialism and its effects on America?
THATS what this is about. Not misdirections or YOUR attacking of other people on here.
I personally agree with what this person wrote here, except revolution will never happen. The military balance has tipped too far in the govts favor and Americans are too fat and lazy as a whole.
Good point, I guess you were right after all.
I don’t really care about your views on socialism and its effect on America – I think you’re wrong but it’s not like anybody’s mind is going to be changed in the comments section of a blog.
The intent of comments is to discuss. If you want to be socialist, that is your prerogative, sad, but your choice. I’d really like to know what is the attraction of no longer being a grownup and responsible for your own happiness and well being.
Well Mossrom youre entitled to disagree, but you might want to stop and think about how EVERY world leader in history who has believed in freedom, liberty and capitalism has spoken out against socialism and how it can only destroy a republic like the United States. (Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Wahington, Thomas Paine, Churchill, Margarget Thatcher, for starters.)
If you think socialism is good, the only world leaders you have on YOUR side are people like Hitler, Mussolini, Chairman Mau, Karl Marx, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein,etc.
If those were the type of people in my court Id definitely be changing teams, quickly.
But then again Im not a liberal who cant see past his own righteousness.
And if you feel someone is wrong, feel free to point out how. Not just tell them you dont care about their views, if you want to be taken somewhat seriously, anyway.
I’m not defending socialism, I think any pure ideology like that would be detrimental. I think it would be unwise not to look at each policy on its own merit and not attempt to evoke the propaganda fuelled fears of those who grew up in the Cold War. This is not what I commented here about though.
I take issue with the way in which I see arguments formed and made here. This Longstreet bozo just posts conspiracy laden garbage that aims to evoke emotions instead of inspire debate. Then you have the likes of Ann Coulter, who probably couldn’t write an article about shoelaces without finding a need to insult ‘liberals’.
Ironically this inability to think without relying on emotions is a trait you seem to think all ‘liberals’ have.
So yeah, I don’t care about your views. Your logic is what annoys me – the inconstencies in your thinking - “we want freedom unless our religion disagrees with it!”, “we don’t want the government to have power over anyone’s health, but the death penalty is okay!” (let’s just hope you never get wrongly found guilty of a murder).
You talk about teams… I don’t WANT a team. Don’t even get me started on “us” and “them”, your real mantra.
All you really stand for is yourselves and it shows in nearly every word you write. You hang on every word of your false idols like Beck and Coulter because they play to your ridiculous fears that your way of life is under threat.
No one has yet bothered to answer my point about Churchill and the NHS. If you even bothered to look into it you might find that I was lying.
Whether or not, when you choose a political side, you put yourself on a team.
We dont have false idols, because we dont worship people like the media does.
No matter what Obama does, the media is there for him. Thats bullshit.
If GB or Ann started saying anything I didnt agree with, Id call them on it as well.
THATS a huge difference between (whatever you want to call yourself) and conservatives.
We AGREE WITH, whereas libs idolize. I understand its hard to tell the difference, especially when youre with the “idolize” bunch.
and actually, libs all use emotions, without thinking things through usually.
Thats why we have tons of social programs like social security (think about the name of it), medicare, medicaid, etc. Theyre all based on the concept of helping people who should be helping themselves, and taking the money from others who actually earned it to do it. Dont give me the crap about how SS is used for elderly and infirmed and the unable. Im all for helping them. Just not everyone else.
I used to be of the liberal mindset myself, so I know alot of this from personal experience. Ive been there. But I also am a person who quests for truth and knowledge, and eventually found out how wrong my family and I were, and how corrupt the media is. If you seek it, you will find the truth as well.
Still waiting!
sigh… You seem to think I have nothing better to do than quibble with you about Churchill?
Yeah, he stated, back in 1944, when war was waging, the medical advances should be available to all. That, in my mind, does NOT promote nationalized health care. While I believe Churchill was a great man, it does not mean I do not believe he was without human frailties, which we are all subject to.
And personally, if this type of care is acceptable to you, fine, but it is NOT acceptable to us.
If you saw someone lay hurt on the side of the street, is there anything that would stop you from doing everything you could to help them?
A typical liberal/socialist response. An irrelevant question.
What I do personally is not the issue. Some jackass in Washington, D.C. has neither the right, nor the duty, to force me to do anything, and that includes stealing my money to provide health care for some criminal who broke into my home. We are directed by Christ to care for the poor. No where in the Bible does it state that I must turn over my wealth (or lack of) to the government to do the job I am directed to do myself….which I do.
