Folks, A profound schism in American society has been exposed and laid bare over the following years since 9/11, through the events of Iraq to the monstrously socialist bailout of the present day.
John Edwards was right. There are Two Americas, and it is my fear that they fundamentally incompatible and irreconcilable.
We are headed for a conflict, decades in the making, approaching the intensity, scope and chaos of The Civil War.
I don't know what shape it will take or exactly when it will happen. I only know for certain it is coming and it will be messy. I only know for certain that I have little or nothing in common with "fellow Americans" such as Obama, Pelosi and a good chunk of the liberal "opposition", which I increasingly consider nothing more than a euphemism for people I consider aliens, at best.
The space for civilized debate is fast disappearing, when dealing with an "opposition" repeatedly ready to lie, cheat, distort, steal and compromise our national security, sovereignty and founding principles and repeatedly ready to abandon basic manners, civility, reality and logic, all of which are the fundamental basis for civilized debate. What do you call an "opposition" like that. Is it a threat that can be "deabted" with no longer?
I pray the coming conflict and confrontation is not violent, but it will be no less profound and no less significant than the first Civil War.
The very basic issue to be decided is just what is the United States of America, whether the Constitution no more than a piece of paper signifying nothing but pretense and old memories and whether there are still those prepared to fight for it.
Maybe principled leadership will arise that can prevent it. But I think things are rapidly developing beyond the capacity of any one figure -- however Reagenesque or Churchillian -- to stop what I fear is coming.
Spoken like a true kook.
OK! Freeper Travis McGee has written that very book!!
It's Vol 2. of a series, read Vol 1. first for best effect!

You've got it.
Wait until momma finds the stores empty and daddy hasn't anything to barter with.
The government will keep the printing presses producing more & more of the increasingly worthless paper money, while they toss trillions of it at the problems.
It will shore up the sandcastle for a bit, but then the sea will come and wash it away.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE
Yup.
If there was no milk on store shelves for 3 days, things would change dramatically for the worse.
Criminals are one thing. A small percent of people don’t seem to want to live by the rules and probably never will. While they are a hassle, they can be dealt with.
But men and women who are fighting for the survival of themselves and their children are a totally different story. Desperate people are unpredictable. Desperate people are dangerous.
Obama appears like a senior in College and has no idea that his inexperience could be dangerous. Its like making your first round draft pick in the NFL and making the guy head coach. Its just absurd that he has any shot at becoming commander and chief. God Help the USA

This will make ya real happy this AM !

...the coming civil war will be a war of secession/partition and will be based on race not politics....Jack Black’s post is correct....the southwest will be the first section to go.
“If there is a civil war, it will be based on race, ethnicity, and class. Our immigration policies are creating a permanent underclass that will be populated by blacks and hispanics who will be in conflict with one another scuffling over low paying jobs and government handouts and they will be pitted against an upper class populated primarily by non-Hispanic whites and Asians. By 2042 half of this country will be minorities [as defined by the USG] and the other half non-Hispanic whites.”
A gentleman who gets it.
I’ll add this to kabar’s excellent comments:
If a “new civil war” comes, you won’t be needing a uniform.
Your “uniform” will probably be (for better or worse) the one you were “wearing” at your birth....
Sad to say that it might come to this, but it’s foolish to believe that it could not.
Regardless of the good intent of the founders, and the wonderful concept of self-government that they created, there are still _other_ forces that define and divide nations, both externally and internally. Those forces are at work here, the same as they influence human behavior everywhere else.
Culture and racial/ethnic identify are more powerful denominators of unity and “nation” than are written documents. The historical borders of Europe were defined - and CONTINUE to be defined - by such “base” concepts.
The racial/ethnic “America” of 1945 could survive indefinitely as a unified nation, “unified” by ethnic and cultural identity (the black population notwithstanding).
But the America of 1945 simply does not exist any more. It has been transformed not only by nonwhite ethnic immigration, but also by a portion of our own Euro-Americans who seem bent on destroying “what was”, regardless of the consequences.
The America of 2008 more resembles 1970’s Yugoslavia than it does America of 1945. That is to say, a jumble of ethnic/cultural factions clamoring for “their share” and squabbling amongst themselves.
Where is Yugoslavia today?

Ugh!
Insane ain’t it !
Nor should I. Especially in an open forum...
No, a kook is someone who refuses to get informed and apparently has no clue what Obama has already said. Read up you ignorant A** or troll (your choice):
Michelle Obama's Boot Camps for Radicals
Obamas Boot Camp Lobotomy - Brainwashing Americas Youth
Obama vows Government re-education camps
Free Republic Thread discussing this speech of Obama's mandatory 're-education' plans.....
Obama's 'civilian national security force'
Obama's Civilian National Security Force
Obama in his own words video - chilling words
Free Republic Thread - "Funding Barack Obama's Civilian National Security Force
Yeah, I'm such a 'kook' that Obama has already dispatched the first salvo in this 'new police force' in Missouri. Prosecutors and Sheriffs across Missouri are joining the "Obama Truth Squad" - Speak out against Obama and face prosecution
More Free Republic Threads discussing this serious 1st amendment rights violation here
Words fail me as to how utterly clueless a large segment of the population is!!!! Wake up and pull your head out of your rear end before accusing someone else of being a 'kook' you ignorant jerk.
While I agree there is plenty of industry in cities, you would be very surprised to find the number 100,000 square foot industrial buildings located down rural two lane black top. Not just assembly but precision machining.
In 1913 there were no Finnish citizens. Finland was still a Dutchy of the Czarist Russian Empire.
That would be like the British Civil War of the 17th century and the Collapse of the Roman Republic during the period 150 BC - 50 B.C.
