	The American Crisis
		In short, the real American crisis lies in the fundamental tensions between two American dreams: the first, rooted in a more or less preindustrial, premarket body of social relations, technics, and values; the second, rooted in a highly industrial, monopolistic, corporate body of social relations, technics, and values.
		The tension between these two versions of the "American Dream" cannot be permitted by the ruling elite of the United States to pass into the next century without either tearing down the existing corporate structure or producing one of the most authoritarian societies in human history.
		Indeed, the "American Crisis" can be regarded not only as the invasion of social life by the factory, but by a modular industrial system that reduces women and men to components of the module.

	"The American-Syrian Crisis and the End of Constructive Engagement" (April 2003)
		Statements by American officials in late March warning the Syrians to end their support for "the dying regime of Saddam Hussein" were met with shock throughout the Arab world.
		The crisis is not, as many European commentators insist, primarily an outgrowth of American neoconservative ambitions to remake the Middle East, or a reflection of Syrian President Bashar Assad's inexperience.
		American efforts to woo Sadat in the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War were paralleled by constructive engagement of Syrian President Hafez Assad.

		The American Crisis part I and II was written Feb. and Aug. 1980 and published in COMMENT vol.
		Their own needs and interests are neutralized by a fictive "general interest" (the "new patriotism" generated by the so-called Iranian crisis is only the most recent case in point) that is literally institutionalized as corporate-controlled "councils," the "soviets" of the bourgeoisie.
		In the historic crisis that confronts us, which public life itself threatens to fade away, the recreation of the public sphere -- humanly scaled, directly democratic, and composed of active citizens -- is perhaps the most pressing responsibility of our time.

	United Nations in Crisis: The American Challenge by Stanley Meisler
		In 1992, Americans were shocked by the television news footage of starving children caught in the chaos and bloodshed of feuding warlords in Somalia.
		The United States was so dominant that American officials even engineered the replacement of the undersecretary-general in charge of peacekeeping at UN headquarters in New York because they felt he was too hesitant over the use of force in Somalia.
		During the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, Stevenson, the American ambassador to the UN, had confronted, derided and embarrassed the Soviet ambassador by presenting irrefutable evidence that the Soviets were placing long-range nuclear weapons in Cuba.

	The American Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Crisis was a series of pamphlets published in London from 1776–1783 during the American Revolution by revolutionary author Thomas Paine.
		Along with the patriotic nature of The American Crisis, it displayed the strong religious beliefs that provided additional rationale for a religiously and socially conservative continent, inciting the laity with suggestions that the British are trying assume powers that only the Christian God should have.
		Paine takes great lengths to state that Americans do not want force, but "a proper application of that force" - implying throughout that an extended war can only lead to defeat unless a stable army was composed not of militia but of trained professionals.

	The American Crisis
		In the second number of the Crisis, I endeavored to show the impossibility of the enemy's making any conquest of America, that nothing was wanting on our part but patience and perseverance, and that, with these virtues, our success, as far as human speculation could discern, seemed as certain as fate.
		The free spirit on which the American cause is founded, disdains to mix with such an impurity, and leaves it as rubbish fit only for narrow and suspicious minds to grovel in.
		In the present crisis we ought to know, square by square and house by house, who are in real allegiance with the United Independent States, and who are not.

	Brent Budowsky: The American Crisis: If Thomas Paine Were With Us, Part 3. \| BuzzFlash
		The American crisis is real and immediate, with an arc of chaos enveloping the Middle East, with the catastrophic results of grave mistakes and escalating tragedy, which our divided American Family witnesses every evening on the network news.
		The cause of the American Crisis is twofold: An Administration that has made enormous and incalculable mistakes, and in fact exploits the results of those mistakes for their own partisan advantage, is the first cause.
		The Nation inevitably endures grave crisis, as we have learned through much unnecessary danger and blood, when the goodwill of the Republic, and the checks and balances of democracy, are destroyed by the single minded partisans and factions that the Federalist Papers warned all future generations so sternly against.

	The American Global Crisis by Jack D. Douglas
		Phony official statistics are one of the worst aspects of the pseudo-science attitude of our government "experts" today and their mis-measurements are a vital factor in deceiving the public and allowing the Crises to continue growing, to come home to roost in some future political administration.
		This Great Crisis overlaps greatly with Number 2 and is due in part to the same longevity and aging disabilities problems.
		Many millions of Americans are losing their pensions and medical benefits and going back to work or not retiring at all.

	On The American Economic Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The vast economic crisis, which has taken on a social character, will be inevitably transformed into a crisis of political consciousness of the American working class.
		American capitalism has entered upon an epoch of monstrous imperialism, of constant increase of armaments, of interventions in the affairs of the entire world, of military conflict and all sorts of upheavals.
		On the other hand, the masses of the American proletariat, who become radicalized have, in the shape of communism—or more exactly, can have, if there is a correct policy—no longer what they used to have, a mixture of empiricism, mysticism and charlatanism, but a scientifically founded doctrine, which would measure up to events.

	Thomas Paine and The American Crisis
		While we had passed the crisis of Despair, we were now faced with another crisis -- the crisis of poverty -- the lack of money with which to feed and clothe the army.
		The struggle for American Independence started with the publication of Common Sense, on January 10, 1776, followed by the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, and ended with the publication of the last number of The American Crisis on April 19, 1783, on the eighth anniversary of the first shot fired at Lexington.
		Common Sense, The Declaration of Independence, and The American Crisis might very properly be called the Bible of the American Republic, and the Charter and Testament for the Freedom of Mankind.

	The American Crisis
		It is an ideology that daily uses fear and the creation of a crisis mentality in order to stampede thoughtless citizens into ceding more power to government.
		Astonishingly, ten percent of all Americans, and nearly half of those under 30, rely at least occasionally on late night talk shows, with more than one-third getting their political "news" from late night comedy shows and MTV.
		So we have come to the present dismal state of knowledge in our nation, and that is the real crisis that faces America — not some phony environmental "crisis", not some overpopulation "crisis", not some arsenic-in-the-water "crisis", not some too-much-money-in-politics "crisis".

	Thomas Paine The American Crisis 1;December 23,1776
		In December of 1776 the battered American army was camped across the Delaware river from hessian troops in Trenton New Jersey.These hessians were hired German mecinaries who sat,waiting for the end of winter to finish off the rag-tag colonial army.
		The Americans marched and crossed the Delaware on that night,on the other side they marched some more,most without shoes.The Americans overran the drunken and sleeping hessians and captured the entire force.The story of this daring act breathed new life into the laboring rebellion and propelled it forward to it's final end....Freedom, Independence and Liberty.
		But, before the line of irrecoverable separation be drawn between us, let us reason the matter together: Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy, yet not one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him.
