I have a couple of relatives who geared up for midnight shopping after the Thanksgiving feast. They saw it as more of a "super bowl" of shopping. And for many ladies, the former gatherers of the hunter-gatherer culture, shopping is as natural as breathing. I don't see it as sinisterly as the maker of the video, although some decorum would be nice.
As for waking up the populace, keep in mind that nearly 50% of our people are on the dole. Many of whom were probably on that video. Welfare recipients have flat screen TVs, cable and cell phones. Why would they not scramble around shopping on black friday. What else is there to do when the football games cease? And do we really want THEM voting? Best to leave it up to the Tea Party activists, like in the 2010 elections. A number of the numb nuts stayed home, and maybe that is for the best. We had the biggest electoral shift since Herbert Hoover's admin. That is nothing to sneeze at. Sure our work is just begun. But it is a good start, and not worth the sinister music after all the work we did getting the word out about the political news of the day, working AGAINST the MSM and winning BIG. Even Soros frowned. It was a great day for America. We need to keep getting the word out, about the Federal Reserve, currency crisis, foreign enemies run amok, etc.
Maybe there is a decline, but I like to think that this is the point where we start rising. Remember. Our new reps will have an opportunity to be heard, to let OUR voices be heard, starting in January. Maybe some fun subpoena action for congressional hearings will shake things up a bit. Maybe we will have the Libs running scared for a change. It has been a long 2 years. It will be a long haul ahead.

Thanks for the link Opie and for all this is my response to your comment:
"Well Opie, there is not one word in your comment that I would technically disagree except to say that had the ones on the dole actually been working we would not find ourselves even having to fight.
I must add, yes I am male, that shopping has nothing to do with rioting and maiming others. This activity is not the America I was raised in nor the one I wish to live in.
This behavior is unacceptable in civilized society. This goes to all aspects covered in the video"
Great topic and comment. There was a thug who was recently arrested for dealing crack and a local food pantry denied service to her--she then went to all media outlets to describe how unfair it was that she could no longer get free food and that she was treated better in jail.
End indeed.
Ah, the eternal optimist. No snark, not from these quarters. I doubt, but hope. I would love to see voting returned to constitutional boundaries, at least the 25 years of age and tax payer part. We started the nation based on representation based on taxation, not representation based on nothing. Still, we might make it back. I am, however, preparing for the worst, as I may.
It really depends on how badly our economy has been hurt and how serious the government gets about cutting debt and dealing with Chinese currency locking to ours. There are some other issues, but the truth is, we have the capacity to come back, I think, for now. But we won't keep that capacity as more people become "hooked on government" and lose interest in upward mobility (which becomes extremely more difficult the larger government becomes, as regulations grow, and while taxes do not favor getting ahead).
I hope it will get better. But it's good to personally prepare for the worst. Stock up on guns food and gold, and TP!
Noting ever goes back to the way it was. That's reinforced to me every time I open "A Tale of Two Cities" and read the opening stanza. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." I'm also reminded of that when I watch the "classic movies" that Opus posts and listen to music that was composed and recorded before many present voters were born.
National Election 2010 was BLACK TUESDAY for the left. It was a resounding repudiation of socialism, of the ObamaNation, and it gave me hope. And National Election 2008 was depressing beyond words.
Finding balance in life, keeping perspective in political wheeling and dealing -- giving and receiving joy in life while the world falls helps us make it through another day as the sand drifts from our individual hour glasses.

Shopping. Shopping?

Hope your Thanksgiving was fabulous Opie. God bless.

Nicely said.
I had the thought today as I awoke that we'd be awfully shocked to read a newspaper from say forty years ago today, and then punch up the news.google page for today.
From patriotic to common sense opinion -to- whackjobs with bombs in their underwear and kids missing, raped or murdered.
Or go back to July 20, 1969. Landing on the moon, to having the Imbecile in the White House running around apologizing to the CSers who murdered 2973 people in New York on 9-11-2001.
Frogs in hot water to be sure.
Yea, the dollar could go the way of the Dodo. Anything is possible.
Great post Opus. We won't get to everyone, but then again, we don't need to.
prayin it turns around Opie..:)
