While you’re at the link, check out the story “Dry Hole.” I think you might find it interesting.

Liberals really don’t believe people they hurt will hurt them back because they have a higher intellect and are politically and morally correct.

Of course the radical fringe who are into violence accept the reality of retaliationa and are actually looking for it as a trigger to spur the millions of people on the left who they think are behind them. That’s how they foment riots.

Then when some college girl gets a broken nose they have disappeared into the night and the sewers.

It was the nuns that ensured I learned that basic grammar rule. Boy howdy did they ever! < BG >

[Mears]

I’m in MA and use both

I would say “A history lesson” but would also say “An historical event”.

I didn’t realize that I did that until just this moment. :-)

[Bodleian_Girl]

I will.

You should put the link to the Project Delta website in your FR profile so more people would see it!

[Bodleian_Girl]

I see your point.

[riri]

You don’t think China (and Russia) will arm them? Train them? And hope to prolong it and have as many casualties, on both sides, as possible?

[Bodleian_Girl]

Let’s hope not.

I mean, all of the liberals I know aren’t willing to start training to murder fellow citizens.

They are stupid and fallow though.

Notification hat tip: the incomparable Duncan Waring.

Yes, this article is about the possibility of a looming Civil War 2. Thus, CWII ping!

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.
The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII".
Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

Here, as a special CWII Ping List Bonus: an excellent article by Civil War II ping list co-creator, Matt Bracken: The CW2 Cube: Mapping the Meta-terrain (click gateway to hell to enter)

We are one EBT card system-wide glitch from armageddon.

Boy have you got that right!

That is why a good rifle for 7.62 and 5.56mm each makes sense. Not that I condone such shenanigans of course, guns are scary.

[SVTCobra03]

Welcome to the party, pal. Now you need 10,000 rounds of ammo.

Semi-jokingly, I’ve said that the War of Yankee Aggression did not end at Appomattox. That it was only time out. It appears that I wasn’t too far off the mark, but for the wrong reason.

It appears that the Liberals pushed for the first war and now they are pushing for a second war. This time there will be no lines; no military operations. Your neighbor may be an enemy. You may be alone in your community.

In past postings I wanted a peaceful yet mandated separation. That didn’t happen; so we are faced with the very real danger of anarchy and/or revolution. The revolution, if it comes, it can be either like America 1776 or like France 1789/Russia 1917.

All true, but slavery had to go.

We are not animals.

During that critical month Lincoln turned down every attempt at a peaceful solution. He even admitted so in his second inaugural address. Lincoln was a butcher.

[central_va]

We are Devo.

[ecomcon]

I agree. There are PLENTY of check takers in LE and military.

The leaders of the Communist mass murders were from the middle class of their countries and were for the most part college trained elitists. However, the ones who did the hard work of fighting the counter-revolutionaries and foreign armies were men of sturdy peasant and worker background. Potentially ruthless leaders are out there: I have no doubt that someone like Bill Ayers would replicate the role of Lenin or Trotsky if possible. The Left's main deficiency is the lack of an effective army. The closest thing they have to this sort are the gangbangers of the ethnic ghettoes. However, these are not disciplined men who grew up plowing fields, digging ditches, etc., like the average foot soldier in the Red Army or the Cheka. If they are in shape, it came from playing sports, not manual labor. Many of these people are mentally challenged due to narcotics addiction, and are unreliable in following orders. They usually don't succeed in the Armed Forces unless they make a determined decision to break away from the ghetto lifestyle.

Basically, the Left lacks the sort of men needed to fight Middle American resistance and impose a dictatorship.
