Remember When?

actually, many of you don't.

Pat Boone's article Welcome to the Nightmare asks us to remember a time when he was young.

Is it just me? Am I dreaming something that never was? Or do you remember the same things I do?

Considering Pat's age, and mine for that matter, fewer and fewer people remember all the things he and I experienced growing up in America.  Few of this blog's readers lived in a world that even remotely resembled life before the 60's or the 70's.

If this wasn't all a dream, if you remember most of this like I do, what happened? How do we find ourselves in this nightmare of contemporary America?  How has it changed so radically, and so fast?

As I reach back into this horrible nightmare, I seem to hear a loud, almost fanatic threat echoing in the night … "We are just five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America!"

The easy thing to do is pin the complete blame on Obama.  In reality, the downward spin started way before he was even born.  Obama is nothing more than the culmination of years of sliding morality, Marxist influence in the schools, and puppet masters controlling the dialogue.  

This process of destruction of liberty and cohesiveness has, by necessity, been ramped up to warp speed.  I absolutely believe that the final economic downfall will happen very quickly.  As the revolving door of credit, debt, unfunded liabilities, and entitlement spending - not just here, but in most developed countries, comes to a screeching halt, we will awake one day to a global "solution."  The people who consider themselves the "elites" will not stand for a world that is economically broken. Who would fund their lifestyles if the world was completely destroyed?  They'll push the "reset button" and we will become one big happy family.
