If we win, I’m afraid I’ll have to stand on the sidelines...because my thoughts right now are not nice.
Not nice at all.
No problem for most ideologies, but a real problem for American conservatives.
Our system is based on “government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” What you are talking about means we would “save” America by destroying what America stands for.
Is “winning” even possible, given such alternatives? Do we designate some as “enemies of the people,” and exclude them from the benefits of citizenship?
There is a precedent for doing so, provided by the Founders themselves. Look up how Loyalists were treated during and after the Revolution by the winners.
A breakaway region of America comes to power through oil money, then invades liberal states and cities, takes out the ghetto criminals, rounds up the liberals and tells them to either leave now, or you will be shipped to a relocation camp. And you will never be able to vote ever again.
Everything is done with kindness, and nobody is harmed permanently unless they attack the invading force (which the libs don't do). But they are not allowed power in society ever again, and their kids have to attend education on the Constitution, Christianity, and the (actually old) order of society.
Maybe they'll just self-deport if the choice is between staying and getting a job, or leaving and getting put on the dole somewhere else.
That is the problem with war. Whatever benevolent thoughts you may take pride in now, know this: if you are (un)fortunate enough to survive you will witness atrocities that will blow whatever benevolent intent you told yourself of away like chaff. In the words of Arlo Guthrie, you will want to chew dead bodies and pick you teeth with their bones.
“I’ve been giving this a lot of though lately. Perhaps we all need to consider the darker side of “winning.””
Whatever the response is, it needs to reflect the cause. If they become terrorists then there are laws to deal with that. Anything the losing side does is covered by our current laws. The winners simply impose the penalties currently in place. For example, the nun who broke into a classified, highly guarded nuclear site went to prison. The rioters who smashed windows at every meeting of the G8 were arrested. (I presume they were prosecuted, but don’t know for sure.) I’m not concerned with the darker side of winning. Eco-terrorists are busy right now sabotaging logging roads with tire-puncture devices. If they get caught they can go to prison. (They never get caught. Likewise, the arsonists who burned the housing development out west and destroyed the Hummer dealerships has never been caught; despite bragging online. Frankly, I don’t thing the FBI is even looking for him.) Presumably, the FBI and Justice department would again be defending the United States rather than illegals and Occupy people.
Been reading the Turner Diaries again?
How about we put our fate in God’s hands and let Him deal with the problem. (no offense to the folks here who don’t believe)?
You raise an interesting question. Thanks.
Using the early history of our Colonial settlements, the settlers who refused to work starved to death.
When the Federal “Safety Net” is eliminated suddenly by Financial Market forces, what % of the 47 % who are dependent on the Federal Safety Net will work to support themselves?
Will the alien illegal invaders from Mexico be driven back into Mexico by the US Military, or by starving Legal Americans?
Liberals are basically parasites on those who work.
Without Federal Aid to Education, professors who are “pointy-headed, pseudo-intellectuals, who can’t even park a bicycle straight” will have to choose between righteous starvation, and actual work on a supply and demand pay scale.

Set up a reservation and let them organize their commune as they see fit.
Let them live in their own sh*t.
“I am persuaded that this is a righteous judgement of God on these barbarous wretches, who have imbrued their hands with so much innocent blood; and that it will tend to prevent the effusion of blood for the future, which are satisfactory grounds for such actions which cannot otherwise but work remorse and regret.”
- Oliver Cromwell, referring to the siege and subsequent massacre of Drogheda.
I agree with Cromwell.
