Is the United States headed for a coup? Civil war? Partition?

 Larry Auster cites Thomas Sowell, who thinks it is the former:

When I see the worsening degeneracy in our politicians, our media, our educators, and our intelligentsia, I can't help wondering if the day may yet come when the only thing that can save this country is a military coup. -- Thomas Sowell, "Random Thoughts," May 1, 2007

Read this important discussion at Larry’s blog, as well as the linked Sowell article: http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/007794.html

Several people have contributed to the discussion, and other possibilities mentioned there are civil war and the breakup of our nation into several independent countries. Folks, this kind of cataclysmic event is precisely the working assumption underlying my web site. Read my page, “What Is Novae Militiae?”. Consider what I’ve said in essence in both my blogs: our leaders are unfit to lead (Sowell has that exactly right), our nation is suffering as a result, and one day it will all come to a head (as Sowell fears). And then something different will emerge from it all.

In my view, it’s a question of when, not if. Ergo: be prepared. I’ve been trying to make it clear in this particular blog what things being prepared entails. And this is as true for Europe, Canada and Australia as it is for the United States. We could take some lessons from the Israelis in this regard, though even they are arguably suffering the same syndrome that Sowell describes. It’s just that they likely have the wherewithal to recover more quickly from it all than we do.
