As we approach the 4th of July, Roger Simon asks whether Americans are in a pre revolutionary state of mind.

I'm inclined to say we are.

Beginning with Ted Kennedy's amnesty of the 60's, I believe, and continuing through the present, where our own government is importing whole villages of Somalis to America, the nation is seeing their political elite replace the electorate that they don't like with a strange new one that they do.

The finances of our country are being perverted to support a huge and growing underclass that has no work ethic, and expects the government to use it's enormous power to tax to support them, even to the extent of purchasing them cell phones.

Every branch of government seems to have been militarized, and every branch of government seems to be looking into our most private decisions, and tracking our every move.

Roger Simon puts it this way:


  "We are two-thirds of the way into the most incompetent presidency in our history. People everywhere are fed up. Even many of the so-called liberals who propelled Barack Obama into office have stopped defending him in the face of an unprecedented number of scandals coming at us one after the other like hideous monsters in some non-stop computer game.
And now looming is the monster of monsters, ObamaCare, the healthcare reform almost no one wanted and fewer understood.
It will be administered by the Internal Revenue Service, an organization that has been revealed to be a kind of post-modern American Gestapo, asking not just to examine our accounting books but the books we read. What could be more totalitarian than that?"
  "No one knows how many have given up looking for work while crony capitalist friends of the administration enrich themselves on mythological clean-energy projects.
In fact, everywhere we look on this July Fourth sees a great civilization in decline. And much of that decline can be laid at the foot of the incumbent. Especially his own people, African Americans, have suffered.  Their unemployment numbers are catastrophic, their real needs ignored while hustlers like Sharpton, Jackson, and, sadly, even the president fan the flames of non-existent racism.
Tahrir Square anyone?

Indeed, but I see the rot as starting in earnest in the 60's, with LBJ's Great Society, and exponentially accelerating with the election of the current resident of the White House.

However, with the current electorate dumbed down and packed with what are in truth "Americans" in name only, and our institutions perverted to serve the interests of the elite, can the situation be saved without a revolution?

That's for us to find out, I guess.
