Anyway, some think this could be the powder keg to set off the 2nd American Revolution. For which, Obama has been stocking up on ammo and equipment.
Strap in... The ride's about to get a little bumpy.
OMG! I'm agreeing with a Cat fan. Now I know this country is doomed. Lock and load! Here's an article from back in '08, which for those unaware, should be interesting:

Igor Panarin, a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian foreign affairs ministry, said the economic turmoil in the US had confirmed his long-held belief that the country was heading for extinction in its present form.
In an interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia, he outlined how the US would divide along ethnic and cultural lines.
They are: the Pacific coast with its growing Chinese population; the increasingly Hispanic South; independence-minded Texas; the Atlantic Coast; a central state with a large Native American population; and the northern states where – he maintains – Canadian influence is strong.
Alaska could be claimed by Russia, he said, claiming that the region was "only granted on lease, after all".
He said the country's break-up would be accelerated by rising unemployment and Americans losing their savings.
"The dollar isn't secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche; this is a pyramid, which has to collapse," said Prof Panarin.
Public dissatisfaction was growing and was held back only by the election and the hope that Barack Obama "can work miracles", he said. "But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles."
