Brief excerpts from the essay's Part 4: Who Would Have Made It So In The Tipping Point Of Amerika's Declining Liberty and Freedoms?

. . . . . . .

The shorter odds, devoutly to have been wished, would have been on the governing doing the governed; then, the governed doing back.
. . . . .  

The governing were bright enough not to have taken the sizzle and the steak.  Yes, The-Corrupter and his law-and-order-crippling, capitalism-killing cronies knew that getting away with murder and more meant not getting caught.  Ariba.  Ariba.

. . . . .

Divisions of Amerikan society and culture boded poorly for tipping descent, written large on the national psyche.  Divided Amerikans could sum or succumb. 

. . . . .
Hold on there, remember:  time was not on the side of the governing, by choice and by circumstance.  Neither need have been the commonweal, not anymore.  You see, The-Deliverer was as a stupendous Santa on socialist.  It had to have been so if he had said it was so.  The-Chosen’s flock, waited for the gifts, goodies and give-aways to have been bestowed upon them, each one of them.  The illusion was collective; the delusion was distributive, one-by-one-by-one.

. . . . .

It would have been sweet to have resolved this at the opinion and voting polls and have preserved the domestic tranquility – a soft landing.  Opinion polls could have nibbled at the present pack of the self-seeking, like attempted death by duck bite.  As for the voting remedy, there were problems – three of ‘em.  Of the two courses, working from within would have been the preference: avoided change of the fourth kind and permitted hangers-on a new way to wannabee. 
. . . . . 

It was not just the stupid economy; economic and social issues mattered, and a persistent pattern of The Founders’ principles were to have prevailed.

. . . . . 

Back then, Amerikans taken together lacked a national identity of principles.  Amerika may have been a metaphysical pot of peoples, but in that pot there was not a lot of melting going on.  The strategy – divide and not be conquered – was a setup for socialism.
. . . . .  

But, Amerikans altogether then did not lack a national identity of practice – expectations of life as usual.  Everyone had an identity of practice.  The-Undoer’s undoing could have insulted practice.
