Many aspects of our social, and religious-based beliefs and established mores, our basic economic freedoms may possibly induce so much passion on both sides we might end up fighting each other over which path is the most righteous...and we will both claim an absolute moral imperative that we will consider unimpeachable and without doubt the most fundamental cause...the struggle, of course, will be between those that would impose enslavement to a Marxist collective, that see it as an urgent mission that cannot be put off any longer. We have seen the growing cry for socialism in the country brings us to the point where it simply cannot be ignored.

Are the socialists going to have a change of heart and forgo their dream of the REAL, complete and total solution in which they so fervently believe because some of us believe that the REAL path to freedom is to pursue our destiny as a great republic?

I hope this will not amount to anything but a clash between opposing forces of voters, but it seems more and it seems explosive. It is too deep a disagreement, too fundamentally rooted in our belief in a way of life that we each so totally commit to.

Is this simply socialist creep, the push from a small number of old radicals or is it really the rush of the left to finally end of our grand experiment?

Immovable object meets irresistible force. Is this what Americans who lived in the time just before the Civil War felt when the country was rolling off the edge of the cliff?

This is interesting, I’ve had similar thinking about this...I don’t know if it could happen, but it seems as if this DEEP divide over economic and religious philosophy could result in another civil war.

Its a frightening thought, and not at all a passing or fleeting one...in my opinion.
