Is this a Pivotal moment in our country happening now?

The suspicious election in November giving the Koch bros control over two branches of our government, the protests over Ferguson and the murder on tape of Eric Garner, fast food and retail workers striking, and today the release of the details of torture under bush and what's going to happen if the Ted Cruz branch of the GOP shut down the government?

I see stormy times ahead of us.

I was surprised and disappointed when occupy was shut down but these protests feel like they aren't going away. The anger is really starting to bubble up and Fox, Rush and the other hate mongers sound like they are getting scared. Good.
