The Watched Pot (Part 1)

For any society that chooses to enslave its producers for the benefit of its parasites, there comes an unavoidable tipping point.   Eventually, the reasonable demands of enlightened self-interest overcome the sentimental bonds of nationalist nostalgia, and disunion becomes inevitable. If there is one saving grace in the tactics of the first two years of the Obama regime, it is the breathtaking pace at which his followers have attempted to dismantle all of the institutional bulwarks established to protect individual liberties.   The unrelenting, frenetic pace of this deconstruction may actually prove its undoing. Folklore suggests that a frog thrown into a pot of boiling water will reflexively leap to safety, while that same frog will sit in a pot of gradually warming water until it complacently boils to death.   The Obama administration has had its radical agenda on a rolling boil since Inauguration Day.   We may see the consequences of their impatience for change this coming November.   Still, while impending elections may bring some modest relief in the pace of advancing fascist-totalitarianism, the past two years have already sown seeds of fundamental division that no single election cycle can readily heal.  Already, we may be moving inexorably toward a Second American Civil War.
