States will stop receiving their “free” money from the fedgov for everything from highways to healthcare assistance, and the states will get busy signals when they call the fedgov. Then the states will do some SERIOUS budget restructuring to cope with the lack of federal monies. Then they’ll just forget about the fed. States will feel burned by the gov, and strive to be more independent. If the fedgov ever recovers, and tries to return to the state to impose its will, they’ll be told to fuck off.

The Democratic coalition is held together with duct tape and bailing wire. Even a shift of a couple percent would cause it to spin apart. Gun owners would be mad enough to spit nails, which would do it.

Even if I’m wrong here, there’s a good chance that the Democrats would think that this is true. Perception is reality, and the perception is that anyone who runs as a gun grabber in all but the most liberal, urban areas will get a big ol’ clingy can of whup ass opened up on them.

IMHO, the Dems think they have a lot bigger fish to fry than guns.

The US Gov’t is toying with the idea of buying up failing banks (or getting ownership stakes in them) with the notion that because they will own parts of the banks, the taxpayer will benefit when the banks become profitable again because the government will have an additional income stream…bank profits.

And who jumped right onboard *that* brilliant idea? No other than Chucky Cheese Schumer himself. I guess he wanted to get the jump on Kennedy, and beat him to the Socialist punch. Or punchbowl. Or arsenic-laced Kool-aid bowl.

If the US citizenry doesn’t stand up and demand that this idea gets flushed down the toilet, we’re fucking doomed.

Door-to-door, the stormtroopers went. Door-to-door, they took legally owned, lawful weapons from law-abiding citizens. Door-to-door.

And the most menace they encountered was Patricia Konie. Other than her showing her empty revolver, the JBTs didn’t take a single round incoming.

If that wasn’t the time for it, there will never be…

What I *do* think will happen, and its really not very far-fetched, is that a few States…the truly patriotic states in the Union, will secede. It will be those truly red, ultra-conservative states. I can see a line of states seceding, pretty much along the lines of those states that support individual rights as opposed to collective rights. I’ll predict here that the states to secede will be:

Texas (They have oil)

Florida (They have retirees with money)

West Virginia (They have coal. And guns)

New Hampshire (They have…granite.)

Utah (They actually have oil too…)

New Mexico (They have a surprising lack of Mexicans)

Montana (Moose!)

Idaho (Taters!)

the Dakota’s (Steer…ie: Loads-o-beef!)

Tennessee (Jack Daniels!)

Kentucky (Jim Beam!)

Pennsylvania (The Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall…as the real patriots, we get to keep those.)

All the Territories (Guam, Samoa, Virgin Islands, etc.)

Arizona (lots of mobsters in Arizona)

Alaska (they’ll do it just because they have the oil that the Libs refused to pump, they’ll pump it, sell it to the United Socialist States, and all the native Eskimo’s will build palatial McMansions.)

I too believe we are not ready to push the reset button just yet, but it seems every move the feddle gummint makes pushes us closer to the switch.

I also believe that, barring some wacky discovery (October surprise), the Barry will not be elected- I have faith in the integrity of the American people (notsomuch so the gummint) not to be completely fooled by the empty suit. Hmmm… I sense a blog post here…
