I like to follow your posts but the center justified formatting you are using is really annoying to read.

No offense intended, it's probably just me.

>Controlling at least 2.5 of 3 branches of power is suicide.

We allowed it.

>Propagandizing and manipulating 95% of the black race and
>100% of our children is suicide.

They allow it.

>Go sew a peace quilt with your liberal friends.

What will keep foreign powers from attacking the USA when you stage your revolt? What’s your plan for keeping them from leveling/invading us during the hour of confusion when you finally corner the 3 branches, and hogtie them?

They are trying to neutralize the military via open homosexuality in the service and other pc measures designed to destroy the prevailing conservative culture within the Armed Forces.

Saddam Hussein attacked the Iranian revolution in 1980. The warring factions inside Iran managed to put aside their differences and present a united front to the Iraqis. Attacking that revolution cost hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides.

Saddam’s military stalemated the Iranians for more than 7 years (albeit with a lot of outside funding). Iraq could not withstand our half-hearted invasion for 1 month. I think the Iranians would not have been able to do much better.

That’s my point. Revolution INVITES an invasion.

Conservatism has been on the rise for quite a while now and it is to the point that they are losing and they know that. This in turn is scaring the living daylights out of them and they are desperate to stop it at all costs.

The military, as usual. I doubt they'll all be in DeeCee for the festivities if a revolution breaks out. IOW, the borders would leak like sieves as they do now, until the tanks show up. We'd still have bombers, missiles and ships to fight with (and a completely intact bureaucracy), even during a revolution. ICBMs and Aegis weapon systems are relatively useless for a civilian uprising.

Today's Democrats are Communists.

Can't argue that point, nor what is stated in this column.

Your point is correct.

There is reason to be concerned that NWO or other internationalist-collectivist factionalists could be fomenting civil war in the United States precisely to this end, to justify an intervention under international, make that supranational, auspices.

If they brought the Chinese, we'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble, but even if they didn't, it would still take us a long time to kill them all and their American quisling adherents.

Postscript:

If that happened, we'd have to repatriate troops in a hurry, and a lot of our security arrangements would collapse at once, unless we found someone p.d.q. who could shoulder the load and prevent the internationalist instigators from picking up the pieces and picking off vulnerable allies (like the Izzies, Brits, and Oz).

Democraps haven’t been in favor of democracy for an extremely long time. They’ve been controlled by scum on the national level since the 1890’s and on certain matters weren’t that swell even before that.

The military will have it’s hands FULL being called up by Senators and Congressman to defend them from millions of gun owning patriots.

Also, during full revolt, military that is stateside will be looking to protect family from inevitable looters/rioters.

Assuming we survived the 1st hour of ...

1) rioting
2) revolting
3) Russia/China/Arabs/Cuba/Venezuela ganging up on us. It’s not beyond them to do so

... then yes, we could call back many troops.

But remember, our Congressmen are the types to make calls and get results. You don’t think they’re gonna make those calls during 1-3? They would, and defenses, assuming they weren’t broken already, would be stretched past breaking point.

The Iranians in 1980 is the perfect example. Civil war INVITES foreign attack.

So I guess the majority conservatives will have to acquiesce to the minority barbarians. Not much of a choice.

What you suggest may come to pass.. but even that, diplomatically put, is educated speculation. And why assume that's a bad thing?. It may not be. Maybe time for a change, maybe change your thinking.

War is hell, don't try to figure some way it can be managed.
