This is where I draw the line;
You go ahead and play modern day Confederate. I'll not talk about attacking my countrymen like it was a real possibility.

In my opinion, the cultural war between secular-progressives and traditional Americans will become a violent, bloody war if the Democrats in Congress try to criminalize policy differences by trying to punish members of the Bush Administration for attempting (and succeeding) to protect American lives. Obama isn’t saying much, although he appointed Holder, but Pelosi, Conyers, Reid, Holder and others are mouthing some very dangerous thoughts. As a minimum, practices that were originated by Carter and Clinton and merely continued by the Bush Administration (such as rendition and warrantless wiretapping) will be given much publicity, and, beyond that, some of us will be forced to support some violent people we normally shun and despise.

Whatever.
It is one thing to express an opinion, but quite another to tell others to stop expressing theirs. Fascism knows no party.
Oh, and it’s “Oceania has always been at war with East Asia” or “Eurasia”. If you’re going to try and chastise someone using classic literature, at least get it right.
LOL!
Oh, okay. So now I am a fascist because I told Francis to lighten up on the concept of armed rebellion against the United States.
LOL.
Actually it is expressed in several forms so as to confuse the populace as to the true enemy, do try and keep up won’t you.

Had you done only that I would have said nothing, but you went far beyond that.
Actually, you’re wrong. It was used by the party to confuse those in Oceania. Never once in the entire book are the words “at war with Oceania” written.
Do try and improve your reading comprehension.
I've already talked to some who are going to severely limit taxes paid. They figure if all these big name dims ( Treasury Sec nominee, Rangel etc) pay only when caught, they will do the same.
Just as a side note, I stopped in to check the supplies of gold, silver and ammo at a few shops yesterday ........ there aren't any. You can place prepaid orders for 3 week delivery with a high premium. This is a worrisome state of affairs.

Whatever. That is not the same thing as Civil War. That is not the same thing as the article was implying would happen.
“Remember, this a-hole won pretty big.”
10% wasn’t it? That’s “pretty big”??
It was around 6-7% and that is huge by normal presidential election standards. It was the largest NON_incumbent victory in our history.
Perfect response. You sound like the type to continue diplomacy while the enemy is bashing in your door.
Where do you draw the line?
Oh please.
Not in percentage terms. Here are a few earlier victory margins.
- Andrew Jackson [non incumbent] in 1828: 56%
- Franklin Roosevelt [non incumbent] in 1932: 57%
- Dwight Eisenhower [non incumbent] in 1952: 55%
- Warren Harding [non incumbent] in 1920: 60%

Fair enough. In numbers though.
All of this is besides the point. Half or more of the posts to me have been on this issue.
My point was it was a bigger margin than the past half dozen or so elections. The guy has a lot of people behind him right now and he’d have tons more if people started talking CW.
The whole point of my comments was stop withe the CW nonsense. It makes us look ridiculous.
You must be young. Do the numbers "51" and "41" mean anything to you?
many thousands were killed in unspeakable violence when the partition of Pakistan & India took place.
Sieg Heil
