A chain of events leading to sudden political and economic upheaval in America is conceivable and not entirely out of the question. Questionable US monetary policies, our political weakness at home and in the world, and the alienation of our traditional allies like Saudi Arabia could have a sharp and sudden impact to this country. Idiots like John Kerry and Barack Obama will never see it coming (or are they really enemies of this country?). The US might be like that metaphorical frog sitting in a pot of water on the stove. The water slowly gets hotter and the frog is supposedly boiled alive.
