Democrats will project voter fraud, based upon their own actions, and blacks will be deceived and incensed. The left is all about class war, but beating the left is worth any unrest and revolution that may come.

Here is what I do if Obama wins.

I sit it out. I am certain complete breakdown and civil unrest, possible civil war, will occur when we see the complete collapse happen. I imagine that will be between 2014 and 2016. If Zero wins, it’s going to take a complete collapse and resulting riots (as in Greece) for this country to finally turn it around.

I’ll be 64 to 67 by that time, and I’ll find a nice spot in the country somewhere with my wife, and just watch from the sidelines. My whole idea will be to protect myself and my wife. Hopefully my two daughters will be in a place where they are secure, I fully intend to discuss this with them, if this looks like the collapse is coming.

“There will be no riots, so stop pushing and hoping there will. Disgusting journalism engineering their next headline”

Pull your head out of where ever it is firmly planted. Have you even READ these Twitter threats? There are thousands upon thousands of them. Most are saying they will riot AND will shoot Romney.

Trust me. These people simply WANT A REASON to riot. Hands down if O-no-brainer loses we will see some cities go into some sort of lock-down with military coming in.

Sad part is ZeroBama will SYPATHIZE with these folks and make matters worse.

As another poster mentioned, they lived in West Virginia and felt safer. So do I in the mnts of south-western Virginia....but make no mistake. We are well armed and have PLENTY of ammo. God help the idiot who would try to break into our home.

The reason for the different reaction is based on the fact that a liberal/black riot will only last for a week or so and most of the damage will be in their own neighborhood and directed mostly at liquor stores or tennis shoe outlets.

Now a conservative/white riot will be a much more serious and extended matter.

Sorry, I forgot to include a last thought:

Because of Mr. Romney’s tactics last night, I think further polarization and, thus, violence, may have been headed off.

Well, it sure is kind of the media to warn the voters that there are consequences for their vote...

Obama equals obama phones and lollipops.... Romney equals street burning mayhem....

You surely don’t want your house to burn down, do you?

A Republican is President again. There will be unrest for the next 4 possibly 8 years!
Suddenly the “rule of law” will matter.
Suddenly the economy and jobs will matter.
Suddenly the elderly will matter.
Suddenly housing will matter.
Suddenly the high cost of food and gas will matter.

Absolutely right. This talk of riots if O loses does nothing but get votes from people who want to avoid being murdered, beaten or robbed. This just plays into the hands of the Obama campaign.

Very limited “unrest”. Certainly not something I’m going to worry about in my metropolis of 150 people.

No problem.

1. Inventory basic load. Replace upgrade as necessary.

2. Conduct weapons maintenance and check zero.

3. Conduct family immediate action drills.

4. Cover all high speed avenues of approach with observation and fire.

Stay well- Stay safe - Stay armed

I also liked the comment...

“People are in no mood to tolerate wild-haired, gold-toothed crack-heads tearing up their neighborhoods and destroying their businesses.”

Wow, I had no idea I had so much influence on world events just sitting here at the ol’ keyboard in my jammies.

OK everyone, don’t riot! Nothing to see here, move along.

There, I fixed it.

It depends on how you define "riot". I think there will be a lot of Obama-nuts walking around in a very bad mood, and willing to take it all out on anybody who walks by who looks like a Romney supporter.

I would see an increase in assaults, robberies, "flash mob" looting, etc.

***Last week in (northern!) California I saw a couple of empty chairs***

I wonder if Clint Eastwood had any inkling that his use of an empty chair would become the national symbol for the Dem Candidate.

Wherever there are large pockets of blacks (95% voting for him) or if where there are organized union thugs in the streets acting as magnets for anarchists and OWS types. Just imagine it like the LA Lakers or the Oakland Raiders losing a championship.
