...are calling for a default are at some level acknowledging likely defeat of whatever it is they align to - their mores, values, status and upbringing. In other words... fear. They believe no quarter will be given, and as such, to many of them this is a very real war of survival. They know at some level the war is not winnable in their lifetimes; that their days are coming to an end. We tell them all the time, sometimes quite nastily, that we despise them and hate them. We tell them that the things they hold to be true, of value and of importance are shameful, useless and to be looked upon with disgust. The pendulum swings both ways, and just as we righteously lash out at their oppression, so will they at what they perceive as oppression. A goodly number of them see the various changes that we are going through in American society and believe there is no place for them. They are probably correct in many cases. Many believe that they must by definition lose something important to them in order for someone else, or another "group" to gain something important. They fear retribution for the crimes they are accused of, because they know that they will inevitably lose by our sheer numbers which are bolstered by higher birth rates, immigration and the fact that more people join the ranks of the "getting less class" the longer that their brand of regulated capitalism goes on. And keep in mind, that's just the domestic stuff. These people weren't raised to pander to the growing powers in Asia, or anyone else. Suicide is a better alternative that "enslavement to Commies."
So, when taking a step back... we see a doomed people with dwindling options and shrinking numbers. Like some horror movie with unseen snarling monsters in dark closing in on the campers with their backs to an ever dwindling fire, poking their knives outward to slash at any noise or whisper they imagine lurks in the growing darkness that will eventually swallow them. They know enemies are at the gate, as we have told them in countless surveys, population studies and polls. They believe we will likely not be merciful - they know we aren't largely the peaceniks of the 1960's and they know they wouldn't be merciful in launching a counter attack. Ergo, they expect no quarter and will give none. They are losing what they believe to be "their" country, or at least the country they would want to be a part of. They know we want the wealth they have accumulated and that we won't do with it as they would have done. They know we will sanction the government to use men with guns to take what we deem as fair to us via the IRS, the FBI, the ATF, and the other alphabet soup we give those powers to. In short, the deficit means nothing to them in the end game. The world is ending, their house is on fire, and they know there is nowhere to go but down for them. Scorched earth means nothing to the man who knows he will be gone soon enough. These folks don't care, because there is no incentive to care in their view of what's to come. With all the water under the bridge, I can understand, even if I disagree, why they feel their is no deal to be made and no happily ever after to be had with the new management. Change is painful, and painful not only for the ones who must change. We all know this, so settle in for the bumpy ride. It will definitely get worse before it gets extremely bad. This is merely the beginning. I fear the truly scary folks, haven't even made an appearance yet.
