Something else to consider.
One thing that is completely apparent now is that there is a leftist presence in this country which is very, very large, very, very active...and very, very far left. They were emboldened by Obama, and while they are now turning on him, he really helped give them hope that their agenda would govern everything.
Let’s just pretend that the 2012 elections are as good or better than 2010 and some 60 plus D’s are ousted from teh House, Obama loses, etc.
Let’s assume that the Tea Party really in fact starts to get some traction.
Let’s assume Obamacare is repealed.
In light of the rhetoric, fanatacism, hate, and vitriol we have seen from the left the past two weeks, I think that there will be violence in the major cities if Obamacare is repealed and if the Tea Party starts to make ACTUAL CUTS to the budget.
I have never thought that before, that a single legislative act would result in riots. But I think we are at that point.
Not sure what comes after that, but a peaceful separation and a gradual, slow and steady but peaceful dismantling of the union into something like the EU 20 years ago would be one way to try to curb the coming civil unrest.
Violence will happen from the left/entitlement class/underclass/whatver you want to call them no matter what. It’s already happening more. Elections won’t stop this train going off the cliff.
I would not bet on any bDs being ousted. The Democrat battle cry is going to be, “The Reepublicans want to take away your Social Security”. “The Republiccans want to take away your health care”,and last but not least,”The Republicans want to take away your unemployment and foodstamps” by then, 2012, probably twice as many will be getting government assistance than they are now. Add them to obama and the Democrat’s base. not only that, the 012 campaign will be very nasty and in the big cities, probably violent to our side. While their side has not been bashful about resorting to violence, our side has been equally adroit in turning the other cheek.
