'Preppers' say Obama 'has divided us on a course for civil war'
washington examiner ^ | 5/15/16 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 05/15/2016 10:57:25 AM PDT by Tilted Irish Kilt

President Obama has pushed the "prepper movement" into high gear, sending millions to buy guns, survival gear and food to live through a "civil war," according to a nationally known survivalist who calls on Americans to prepare in a new book.

Bryce M. Towsley, whose "Prepper Guns" details the best weapons and ammo to survive a political or natural disaster, wrote,
"I have watched in horror as Obama has attacked America with the brilliance that has allowed him to succeed."

The National Rifle Association field editor and a well-known survivalist said he is calling on Americans to be ready
for a situation in which authorities can't be trusted..."

When seconds count in a potentially dangerous situation , can you afford to wait the 9 to 24 minutes for police to arrive ?
What if you can't get through to #911 ?
What if they are too busy elsewhere ?

One thing I’m not seeing, which is vital to having a civil war, is a large, cohesive ideological force. To my knowledge no significant groups are meeting and making plans. We are a long way from civil war. As long as we can sway the body politic we have a civil safety valve. You can say that elections are stolen and therefore not fair. But both sides make those claims every cycle.

There are riots but they are entirely from one side of the spectrum and they are entirely about personal profit and not political change. You could argue that the sudden increase in the murder rate resulting from police pulling back on enforcement is political change, but it is the people who riot who are reaping the “benefit” of this change.

Civil War II ends within 48hrs of the Feds turning off the electric grid resulting in 99% of the population marching off to a camp for the promise of an MRE, hot shower, and WiFi.

Gen.Blather :" There are riots but they are entirely from one side of the spectrum and they are entirely about personal profit and not political change."

Exactly true(!).. personal profit
That is why we see flat screen TV's , beer, etc. being carried out of commercial establishments, always in the minority community.
Immediate Hedonism and self-graticifcation - political change comes much later, if ever, sorta incidental to the fact.

I don’t think so. The military is overwhelmingly on the “right” side with the exception of a very few officers hoping for a political appointment.

First rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club.

Won’t happen. 20 % of the population in that city are government employees. They will be dieing along with everyone else as the feral city youths and gang bangers ravage the city.

Same here. Any neighborhood disturbance is ignored because they're across the county or dealing with something more serious or drinking coffee.

If you need an ambulance, you're going to lay there dying for at least half an hour because it's across the county. The one two miles away can't come because that would be out of it's district. Of course, when you finally get the ambulance that you've waited half an hour for, it will drive you past the nearby ambulance and clinic to take you to the ER that is on the opposite side of the county from the two already mentioned.

Grapeshot is your enemy. We don’t need no stinking leaders. We all know what has to be done.

“First rule about fight club is that you do not talk about fight club.”

If the Bolsheviks had kept to that rule today the “National Enquirer” would be full of news about somebody texting the Czarina that they wanted to suck her toes.
