What Civil War? Unless people like you and I actually get up off our behinds, grab a gun, and organize into combat units to fight the federal government... there is no civil war.
Are you really grabbing your gun right now?
Armed to max and ready to go.
Yeah, I've been reading these veiled and no-so-veiled threats from Freepers about a Civil War over health care for months now. When it passes, other than a few skirmishes that will be quickly squashed by the govt, it will all over but the paying of the taxes.
And what do you think the US armed services would do? Would they fire on American citizens protecting the Constitution?
I just have pictures in my mind of Patriots being blown up by Apaches for standing up to the constitution. Maybe I am paranoid.
What Civil War?<<<< There is plenty of armchair bluster but revolt is a pipe dream.
Organized resistance and mass civil disobedience can destroy their plans amd is the only viable strategy at this point!
Take a lesson from the revolutionary war, the time for shooting is when they come for your guns!!
I frankly don’t see anyone to eager to give up the comfort of their computer screens to risk what is neccesary to combat the communists!!
That's not a civil war - that's a massacre.
Civil war requires a split in the officer corps of at least the land forces, whereby principled and honorable officers, all bound by and intending to obey their oaths, disagree about the meaning of that oath applied to a certain set of circumstances. The limits (if any) of the sovereignty of Virginia was one such example.
The present crisis contains the seeds of such a split, but the situation has not yet matured.
Gestures of rebellion while the central government retains the loyalty of the armed forces will actually make the path of the present government easier.
