To be sure, what we are facing now has been a long time in the making. It goes back to before WWII even. But I also cannot believe how much things have changed since 2008. Things that seemed ridiculous then are now openly stated. Take for instance the casualness of the Left's threats now. The union thugs showing up on company executives' front lawns, and just the other day I saw where threats were tweeted to the governor of Michigan, promising they'd be seeing him at his daughter's soccer game. I never before saw such brazenness. We must remember though it's not really anything new. This is the Left, it's who they are. It's who they've always been. The only thing that has changed is that they are now much more emboldened. Obama is the Arsonist in Chief, just pouring gasoline all over this country and then flinging cigarette butts.
Look back at history and see what has happened in other countries when radical left wing movements are on the ascendancy. It's what we have in store for us here.
