Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

 THIS GUY says there’s cause for concern that the global economic crisis might give rise to widespread civil unrest, especially in Third World locales.

Are you predicting that you are going to commit violence, joe?

It is not excuse, nor is it excusable to riot and act in community violence (i.e. civil unrest). But, I would not be surprised to see a world wide escalation with respect to civil unrest. That is where we are, not as a culture, but as a race.
I hope civil unrest doesn’t escalate, but the human race can be depended upon to repeat history to a fault. So, it’s always a threat. In peace time, war, prosperous times or depression. It doesn’t matter.
I have to be careful in my own thoughts and words not to judge them (rioters, agitators, etc.) too harshly, as generally these are people who are just acting (or reacting) out of fear.
Like I said, i doesn’t excuse that behavior, but, civil unrest is a fear-based reaction to whatever it is that people feel “spurred” by.

depends on how far into socialism this country is taken by our dear leader. you would think americans would have learnd from all the other countries that have tried socialism, in other words the government running everything from healthcare to hardware stores. everytime socialism has been tried it has failed.

Obamageddon will happen if/when HR 45 is passed and the Second Amendment is slaughtered and turned into another government oversight division. It will be the last straw for many Americans and his new office will be in his armored car. People will never stand fo this and I would hate to be a U.S Representative that voted against it. Everyone should read about it at the link below and please share with your friends. If only there were very serious, mandated penalties for the criminal could any firearms owner support it. But as usual the real criminal walks.
