"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows..."

..and you don't need a crystal ball to know the direction that politics is headed in this country.

One need only follow the youth of our country. Youth shall be served.

Both major political Parties are in decline. Both favorite candidates, from both Parties, have very high negatives in most of the polls.

There is change coming.

It doesn't matter who wins the next election, they will accomplish very little. They will be blocked at every turn.

The future belongs to those that can break away from the present two-Party system and bring the majority of America together.

The tea leaves are not difficult to read.

The Weathermen saw it all coming apart, too. For sure! Then Fred Hampton sent them up for the ages after their Days of Rage nothingburger in Chicago: "We believe that the Weather [Underground Organization's] action was anarchistic, opportunistic, individualistic, chauvinistic, [and] Custeristic... It's nothing but child's play - it's folly."

and there are a lot of discontented voters, as we can see, if we care to look. Nobody is preaching anarchy.
