Only if it extols the vitures of Makers Mark and rails against the canard that lowering taxes increases employment. Then it would be kinda sorta like me. Oh yeah, and it needs redheads. Lots of redheads. With big boobs. Christina Hendricks type.

Just a matter of when it happens.
Then a matter of why it happened at all.

History shows us again and again that this is going to happen!
Thankfully I don't live in the Big Cities where it will happen.
All I'll need to do is watch for the City Dwellers who think they can raid the countryside.


Tain't no Coppers round this here parts to protect trouble makers!

I must confess my doubt that any severe roiting will occur in the States. People have short memories...

Depressions/Recessions of the last 100+ years:

Recession of 1902
Panic of 1907
Panic of 1910
Recession of 1913
Recession of 1918
Depression of 1920-21
Recession of 1923
Recession of 1926
Great Depression of 1929-33
Recession of 1937
Recession of 1945
Recession of 1949
Recession of 1953
Recession of 1958
Recession of 1960
Recession of 1969
Recession of 1973
Recession of 1980-82
Recession of 1991
Recession of 2001
Great Recession of 2007-09

After ALLLLLLL of these different economic issues and problems, we have gotten through them. I think we just need to hunker down and buckle up, this'll be a rough one.

One MAJOR difference between all of those examples and today:

A racially charged political climate, with race baiters all over the mainstream media.

If the president is successfully challenged in the upcoming primary, there will be hell to pay.

When he loses the general election, I believe cities will burn.

I wish I did not believe that, but I do.

You think it is crazy when people riot because their favorite sports team loses the championship?

Imagine if almost 10% of the american population, who already consider themselves victims, pinned all of their hopes and dreams for a better life for themselves and their families on one man, only to have him defeated after one horrible term in office.

It has already started, but very few are talking about it. Racially motivated mob attacks are in the news every couple of days since the start of summer.

Peoria, Chicago, Philadelphia, and the Wisconsin State Fair are just a few that have made headlines, with little to no follow-up in the media.

The kindling is dry and stacked. The torch is lit. Just waiting for someone to toss it on the pile.

Change 'States' to Rome?
And I'm sure they said the same thing.

I did not say the riots will start over the latest issues.
But one day?
BOOM!!
The old fan will be overloaded with the nasty stuff hitting it.
Sure it may be a thousand years down the road.
But it will happen.
People in mass groups, given time, are predictable like that.

I was ready to riot today. My cell phone died, and then the power went out for about an hour, and I had no computer either. I thought it was the end of the world. I seriously considered going down to the grocery store and stealing some ice cream.

Steve.

You are much to old to riot.
Maybe throw a fit or old folks tantrum.
But not riot.

[Sailor Steve]

Hey! First, I AM a riot! Just ask Jim. Second, if you mess with me I'll kick you in the shin, whack you with my cane and make my escape. You have no idea how fast I can hobble along! Also I can give dirty looks that make strong men quake in their boots!

And if that doesn't work, I've had good luck with crying a lot.

You've just described an 'Old Folks Tantrum'.

[Sailor Steve]

Hey, go with what you got, I always say!

Roger that Mate.

Now pardon me whilst I go through all the AARP mail I have.

based on the people ive seen and heard in California, i can say that these people do have an overinflated sense of awesomeness. And stupidity. by god, you cant deny how stupid the average "Whuuuuut?" california patron is.

There are too many ignorant and oblivious people. they need to start actually giving a dam about what happens indirectly to them outside their daily bubble. Then there wouldnt be rioting. because if so many people werent so caught up in their little bubble, they would know what theyre voting on, and actually understand the bill instead of getting some bull**** white lie summary from a dirty politician. All THEY heard was the main part of the bill, and not the little subsections that screw you over.
