It's a cold night here in the mountains and Piedmont of the Carolinas, and as I promised some time ago, I have a nice, warm fire in the fireplace and hot chocolate to drink, if you want it. Perfect for winter months.
You are going to need it in order to swallow the subject matter for tonight's discussion.
You may have been taken aback by the title of this entry in my series, "Musings After Midnight." After all, it's not every day you hear an American say that they don't believe their own country can survive. Such a sentiment goes against every grain of our being. We have been taught since our Founding that we are so resilient that we can not only survive anything but bounce back from the most dire of circumstances, stronger than ever.
And while that sentiment is still true, it depends on the citizens to make it reality.
Up until now I have always believed that America is unstoppable, indestructible, and able to withstand any threat thrown at her from any source. But I never really seriously considered that the one threat that can, indeed, cause her demise is her own citizenry. A house divided against itself cannot stand. And America is deeply divided, so divided, in fact, that I have come to the conclusion that we will not escape the present predicament without a bloody civil war that is every bit as deadly, and even more so, than the first American Civil War in the 1860s.
I make it my business as a patriot and a writer to stay in touch with people whom I consider to be the movers and shakers. Some of these are in government. Some are in business. Some are not in positions that one would normally associate with power and influence. Yet they are quite powerful and influential because of those around them who have entrusted to them that power and influence.
