MarkJ has an interesting point.
What will happen if the masses can’t take it anymore? One wonders, and I’m very sure the thought has crossed the minds of those pushing us to the limit.
There is a rule; I call it the 10/90 rule. Ten percent of the people run the world while ninety percent wonder what happened and who did it. Even in the American Revolution, the vast majority of the people either favored British rule or sat on the sidelines when the fighting started. It is the old sheep/wolf/sheepdog story as told by Dave Grossman.
I fear when the 2010 elections come to pass and there are obvious cases of voter intimidation, voter fraud and maybe outright theft (i.e. Philly and Minnesota), people are going to snap. The left is playing a very dangerous game, and they know it. They are hoping most people will just stand on the sidelines and take the repeated hits they are dishing out.
We are truly living in interesting times. People are afraid and confused as to what is happening, overwhelmed by the speed and diversity of the actions of our leaders. This is not by accident. As I have said for a while now, the toughest thing to do when inside a revolution is to get perspective. You simply can’t get enough distance from all the events to get a good picture. Over the centuries I’m sure there were many citizens of many countries who were just stunned to find out they were no longer free.
