I’m so sick and tired about seeing this bullshit about a comng civil war? It isn’t going to happen.

That’s what they said in the 1850’s too...

Why do Freepers delude themselves about the possibilty about a Civil War? For a variety of reasons, but perhaps the most popular is the idea that we can turn the tide of abject tyranny to liberty in our lifetime.

Oh, yes it will. Wait till the bills start coming due and no one will lend us the dough (the debt ceiling will be reached by the end of this year).

"What if they had a T-Bill auction and no one showed up?".

Why? Because YOU say so? idiot.

You forget the coming financial collapse....by the time Obama is done in 2016, we will be $20-25 TRILLION in debt, not including upwards of $100 TRILLION in obligations to Social Security and Medicare. Not enough money on the planet to cover that hole...

When the money runs out and the freeloaders stop receiving their freebies, the shooting will begin. One only need to look at the Sandy aftermath and the chaos there. Extrapolate that across the country and hopefully you get a good glimpse of what IS COMING.

The USA simply cannot survive the dependency class in its’ current form. The math don’t lie.

I agree. They're too soft and overly reliant on what they've seen on TV and circulated among themselves. They have no idea of what life in the field is like. They can't handle poverty and haven't really seen it. Secured tourist reserves in Third World countries don't count. Most of 'em aren't physically fit (understatement).

They're about to lose their civilian mechanized mobility for lack of funds from Uncle Samantha (austerity program about to begin). Nearly none of them have technical/engineering experience and lack ingenuity (bureaucrats, and all). They lack other skills that you and I are experienced with (if you did small arms--that is, infantry training). They don't like being uncomfortable enough to be effective.

Most of the remaining political hysteria is between two political parties comprised mostly of the more influential political constituents who depend on government for incomes. They've each taken sides based on which party promises each of their subgroups more of the debt.

As the monstrous pile of debt rises and becomes more worthless, they'll take "haircuts" on those incomes (as bond investors will). They're not the "makers" or producers that they claim to be. They're only screeching at each other over who gets most of the debt.

After those cuts in funding for their incomes, they'll be increasingly lacking in mobility and resources. They don't want to know the poverty in store for most of them, but they will.

We need a large manufacturing base to support fat, couch-potato bureaucrats and their kind. Many regulations (beginning with local ones) need to be repealed/abolished for that to happen. Manufacturing is where the real production happens (besides, farming, mining, drilling, etc.) for a great economy.

Members of the socialist, political/regulator class are good at starting cat fights with each other over the pile of debt, as we've seen. They might even gather on the streets to throw a few things at cops, as many debt/revenue-dependent Greeks have after their layoffs and funding/pension cuts. They insult and threaten from keyboards in their homes, but they won't start any kind of real civil war and don't really want one. Such an event wouldn't fit the little fictitious plays in their vainglorious imaginations.

The political/regulator class isn't smart enough or hard working enough to win so much as sustenance from real producers (manufacturers with shop employees on American soil, farmers, miners, all) in the long run. Real Americans, producing useful things with their minds and hands, will rebuild the economy. And there won't be any stinking "civil war"--only more squalor and helplessness than most can imagine, due to their own taking.

The real answer is deep cuts in government spending and abolitions/repeals of regulations, starting at local levels (e.g., county zoning ordinances against small manufacturing shops on lots more than five acres in the middle of nowhere). Then a high-speed rebuilding of the manufacturing base with inventions and innovations mostly coming from the small shops (larger pool of ingenuity without interference from contemporary academic, political or business so-called leadership).

Exactly 4 years ago I told a room full of people “calm down, a guy named Barack Hussein Obama with no record will never be elected President of these United States. It can't happen.”

[little jeremiah]

Why can’t a civil war happen?

Other than your say-so, reasons please.

[editor-surveyor]

Its already under way, scared?

Buy depends wholesale.

[catfish1957]

Sick huh? Enjoy your socialist utopia troll.

I agree. We need to knock off all this sour grapes nonsense. I still believe that conservatism is the best hope of our country, and I always will, but let’s be realistic. We lost an election. Ok, it’s happened before, and will happen again. The same can be said of he libs. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. The thing for us to do is show that we are serious adults by picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off, and getting back to work.

We also need to stop hyterically attacking the other side as being nothing but “Takers” and treating them with contempt. That is no way to get the support of the people. A lot of liberals are already calling us the “Blame Americans first” crowd. Not good. I’m not any happier about he election results than anyone else on the right, but we have to deal with it. We have to remind people that WE are the real patriots in America. We can’t do that by talking about revolution, succession, and all that other nonsense.
