“America…Is It Over?”
- Sunday, August 31st; 6pm

UnCommon Sense TV comes full circle as it returns to the original questions first asked on the premiere program back in 2003; What is the true state of the American nation and what kind of future remains, if any, for the original principles and ideals which inspired it’s establishment as a modern, independent nation state? This episode takes a stark look at the current condition of American politics, it’s uncomfortable descent towards fascism (or “corporatism” as Mussolini first described his new political invention), and the inevitable failure of the nation’s attempts at empire and hegemony. Examples of the numerous danger signs as evidence of this reality are analyzed and discussed. The program closes with a call to overcome the fear these realities can create, and looks to inspire all of us as citizens to rise to action, no matter how small or personal, in confronting and overcoming the current problems we face and fulfilling the real promise and purpose of a truly democratic society as inherent in the principles of the American Revolution.
