Civil war may come to America

Americans were stunned last week, coming to the startling reality that citizens from all 50 states, hundreds of thousands of signatories, thus far, have petitioned their state to secede from the union, with at least seven states, as of Sunday, having the 25,000 signatures necessary to, supposedly, officially force a White House response.

It's not something many Americans want to think about, or be forced to come to terms with, however. To think the United States of America would ever be in a position of having to deal with multiple states having enough citizens to attempt seceding from the union is about as unthinkable a reality as imagining Hitler coming back to life and continuing on with his plans for a “New World Order.”

What's more, what would have to be happening in the country that would make so many Americans feel compelled to make such a desperate decision? Could it be as simple as conservatives and libertarians not being comfortable with a man of color being in the White House, the most commonly pushed idea.

Every American that pays even a little attention to politics knows there is a fairly deep divide among Americans with regard to political philosophy. After it became evident that Obama's promises of hope and change were not actually going to be fulfilled as was once promised and as it becomes evident that his administration's primary goals were to create bigger government with more and more regulation and control, the divide between the left and right in the country has no place to go but further and further apart. Entitlement and personal responsibility have never been at greater odds and conservatives and libertarians couldn't be more uncomfortable about the circumstances than they are today...

When it comes to keeping government funded and running, anything can be packaged and sold as “legal.”

That is exactly what the Supreme Court said, wasn’t it? As long as any law is passed as a “tax” anything is legal. Hell, they could tax the 5th amendment $1 billion. You have the right to keep quiet and not testify against yourself but to do so requires a $1 billion tax payment first. Supreme Court said so.

You’re correct, but the freedom we enjoy grows less and less with the almighty empowered government in charge. We the people are no longer in charge of the government. We are merely a shadow of ourselves. Sheep to the slaughter if you will. Unless, WE take charge.

There was an excellent article the civil war issue that I saw linked to the Fox News website today. It’s by a black conservative writer named Erik Rush. He makes a very compelling case in support of the proposition that Obama stole the election and that the scope of electoral fraud may one day lead to civil war.
