Youll have to forgive me for a little bit of nitpickery .. knowing that its part of the pop culture
at least those who know history beyond 10 minutes ago.
But a Civil war is when both sides attempt to take over the central government I dont think would be the case here, this case would be more akin to divorce or better yet the removal of a leeches.
The Confederacy didnt really want to run the whole country They just wanted to separated from the rest of the states.
I prefer the term War of Feral Aggression myself.

Ya’ just have to understand a man back then... even though the government took it out of his paycheck all that time.. he considered standing in that line and drawing that check, ‘welfare’, in some fashion. They were taught to work for a living.

"Some have said my warnings about a coming civil war between makers and takers are exaggerated."
The author's warnings are only misplaced. Kirchner opposes production on Argentinian soil in favor of foreign imports while pretending to be working for the poor. Most working class, once-private-sector folks in Argentina are not fond of her or any of the other political so-called choices there.
Yes--misplaced. The poor of the former private sector won't go after the middle class in general. Most private-sector poor folks are accustomed to simply trying to survive.
Many government-supported (regulators, government teachers, pensioners, all), falling middle class people in an immoral society, on the other hand, are accustomed to pride, comforts and entertainment. When unemployed, many of them will throw tantrums and go where the loot is.

I think the realization explained in this article is spot on but too late. The media and Hollywood controls the message to the 49% of takers. Where my free healthcare at?

Wars are fought and won by the determined. Only 30% of American’s supported our War of Independence. Many of the rest went to Canada.

"Does anybody notice how non-responsive the Congress has become to the American electorate ?"
Most members of Congress are in an occupation where many call themselves, "Esquire." They do special tasks for special constituents.

If it comes down to civil war, the people who brought it to pass should be the first to suffer the consequences. That stands to reason.Yeah, but I feel guilty that I'm starting to become eager to dish it out, LOL.

Working for a living is good, but the belief that you are not entitled to money you paid in is nothing more than the slave mentality.

The only thing we can hope for is that the states get hit so hard by the Feds that they call a constitutional convention or ratify ammendments.IMHO a constitutional convention is the last thing we would want.
For one example - Do you think something like the 2nd ammendment would survive a rewrite of the constitution when we have an electorate dumb enough to elect Obama twice? When we have federal, state and local governments rushing to use the reaction to the recent school shooting to pass more gun control laws?
Imagine what a new constitution written and approved by our current moocher, politically correct culture would look like,

Oh no, no constitutional convention, no sir. Not with the current make-up of the country and states. A new Constitution would read like a thousand-page-long transcript of Occupy Wall Street protest speeches and would completely and perfectly invert “rights” and “wants” just for starters.

You might want to look at the most extreme conservative actions ever taken. Singapore’s government is the most extreme conservative case that I know about. During the threat of communism they locked up the socialists and communist that were government officials. Ever since then the conservatives has been in control.

To: Steve Van Doorn
Correct. And if you talk to the average Singaporean, they would all be willing to do it again, including the Marxist cheerleaders in the press.
It is not that they don't think their government suffers from corruption. If you are fortunate enough to have a Singaporean friend, they will freely volunteer the excesses of their own government. But they are also willing to cut them some slack due to the bigger picture of keeping the Communist disease out.
The day will come that we will have to take similar drastic action if we wish our nation to recover from the terminal disease it has voted into office.

Health clubs are booming. My small town of 25,000 now has 6 and they are all thriving.
Git thee to thy health club...or go for a jog at the very least.;-)

“Do not give up your guns! NEVER!
The American citizenry is the best armed infantry in the world.
Once the guns get handed in, we are sitting ducks.
Expect no less than what the Jews got in the holocaust.”
You’re exactly right. There’s a reason why murderers and tyrants want you defenseless and unarmed. History is full of these examples—we have no exemptions to the lessons of history by virtue of being an American. It can and is happening here.

That’s what I said, the little guys always lose, besides, if we did have a civil war, it probably wouldn’t be in the near enough future for any of these people to be involved.

The Guns that are being bought and the mere fact that we are discussing this bodes ill for the future. I say it bodes "Hope and Change".
