If they pass this bailout bill I am afraid you just may be correct.
But we do have a civil war of sorts every 4 years.
That’s why you hear the Demoidiots saying they must take back the country.
I have thought about this lately. It would really be the best thing. I know that my husband has invested heavily in precious metals. Not gold or silver, but lead.
Yeah, one America made up of people who work hard, play hard, take risks, and live free, and another America made up of people who live off the fruit of others' labors, never risk a thing, scold the producers when they play and enjoy themselves -- and who, unknowingly, live as slaves.
Incompatible and irreconcilable -- yep.
Good, my side has most of the guns and a ton of military training.
I’ve been preaching this for several years now. I fear that if Obama is elected, and this monstrosity of a bill that pillages the American people passes, it will come to pass sooner rather than later.
I know I intend to buy a gun on November 5th - if Obama wins. I’m going to need it. Because once he starts instituting mandatory youth re-education camps, and his civilian police force, et. al - this coming civil war will begin and it won’t be a cold war.
Hopefully it will be a bloodless coup and our Republic prevails.
The current democRAT regime needs to be run out of town on a rail. PERIOD.
The enemy!
Well....not sure how to accomplish this but....Our Constitution says that the people can get rid of our government if we don’t like them and bring in a new one. So..........have an election and replace Congress.....all of them. Put McCain/Palin in and start over. Walk in the new Congress and walk out the Old Congress. It’s not working the way it is. Change our whole financial system to the benefit of the United States, not to the benefit of outsiders. Also consider our Federal Judges. If they don’t follow the Constitution, get rid of them. I wouldn’t change the Constitution....it’s fine the way it is. Just follow it for a change.
Yep, has been for some time although its coming to a head. As I see it part of the central issue can be described when dealing with outcomes. In order to equalize outcomes it is a nessecity that you supress individual freedom. I know we have all heard that before and its nothing new but it is at the heart of the clash.
I know there is a CWII ping list, but I can’t remember who has it.
This has been talked about on Free Republic for over a year off and on.
Count me with the group that promotes individual liberty and economic freedom.
As a capitalist small business owner I serve the public everyday!
If you watch the ‘progressives’, you realize that they are poisonous to a society.
They banished the Ten Commandments, the virtues, even the Golden Rule. Even Reason is replaced with moral equivolence and moral relativism. They are like the wind. They are not tethered to any principle.
There’s no way to live with ‘progressives’. That’s why the path they follow always leads to totalitarianism.
What we must counter are the NGOs that manipulate every aspect of our lives, politically, economically and culturally. Here's a short list: Brookings Institute RAND Corporation American Assembly Foreign Policy Association (co-founded by CFR member Raymond Fosdick) World Affairs Council Business Advisory Council Committee for Economic Development National Foreign Trade Council National Bureau of Economic Research National Association of Manufacturers National Industrial Conference Board Americans for Democratic Action Hudson Institute Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Institute for Defense Analysis World Peace Foundation United Nations Association National Planning Association Center for Inter-American Relations Free Europe Committee Atlantic Council of the U.S. (founded in 1961 by CFR member Christian Herter) Council for Latin America National Committee on U.S.-China Relations African-American Institute Middle East Institute
I am pretty sure a civil war is nearly impossible in the US in the modern age. Something about mechanized warfare... Whoever gets the military wins any open conflict; and the regular military won’t split along state lines like it did in the Civil War. Dunno about the NG units, but I don’t think they’d split off by state either.
You could have insurgency and terrorism, but without a hope of intervention it would be ultimately futile. And who would intervene in the US? China?
Even worse, it might cut cable service - then there would be an uprising!
It’s vanities such as this that make FR look like a kook-fest.
If people think there will be a civil war it’s only because they want it to be so. Get a clue.

Ditto
OMG - I just heard Jesse Jackson say something on NeilCavuto that I agreed with...The last 24 hours has just been TOO much...I can’t believe I’ve agreed with JJ
Invest in precious metals. Lead and brass.
I confess that this has crossed my mind in recent months. I am truly frightened by what an Obama presidency coupled with large leftist majorities in both houses of congress will mean. But I also fear, very much, what a violent or even a non-violent coup would bring us. Or they may be no coup at all but that instead secession will raise its head again. Or it may be that the citizenry is so degraded that there will be nothing more than whining and complaining but, at the end of the day, compliance with the new order.
At this point nothing would really surprise me. We live in interesting times and the only thing we can be sure of is that the future is very uncertain.

So which States are going to start it? Any entity smaller would be consitered terrorism.
