The most remarkable thing about civil unrest is that there hasn't been more of it.
Politicians are making a hash of this countryand much of the rest of the civilized world. We know it. They know it. They know we know it. But we don't feel we can do anything much to stop them.
That right there is the pre-condition for civil unrestwhen people are frustrated and politicians are nervous.
Worse, that was how things stood before last fall's crash. Before pols on both left and right launched the biggest mass transfer of wealth in historytransferring our wealth (what we had left of it!) to their friends on Wall Street and in the banking industry. In other words, that's how things were before things got bad!
Now everybody's talking about the ongoing catastrophe (even if we are in a momentarily sunny mood). But almost nobody is talking about the logicalmaybe even inevitableconsequences of cynical or desperate politicians abusing an already fed-up populace: civil unrest.
I mean people taking to the streets. Or mass resistance. Or crackdowns because the government fears we might do something to upset its apple cart. It's going to happen. Somewhere. At some time. It's going to.
One of the few VIPs to mention the matter openly was Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor and the ultimate insider's insider. He commented on the millions of unemployed or soon-to-be-unemployed and the "...public awareness of this extraordinary wealth that was transferred to a few individuals at levels without historical precedent in America." He told "Morning Joe" Scarborough, "Hell, there could be even riots." I'd say that's an understatement.
Although few in power are talking about it, rumors abound that governments at many levels are planning for civil unrest.

Some of us already have lines in the sand that would inspire us to resist abuses of authority. And that, right there, is something our would-be masters fearour disobedience. What will happen? And when? Nobody has a crystal ball. But the combination of public frustration and governmental apprehension is an explosive one. Someday, somebody will light the match.
It may take the form of some states seceding.
We need civil insurrection. The system is corrupt, and the people are slaves in a soft tyranny that many of us can no longer stomach. Hussein Obama will light the match that causes an explosion. If its not health care, it will be something eles. I cant wait! The slaves need to rise up and show Obama, Pelosi, and the rest that we are actually the masters!
Ping.
“It may take the form of some states seceding.”
the state governments are just as bad, if not worse.

I thought for sure, the action in Florida against Granny would trigger violence. IMO it’s comming.
Everyone suspects bloodshed is coming. People just do not know in what precise form it will appear. I still think there will be some riots late this summer.
"...for now these hot days, is the mad blood stirring..."
Do some conservatives secretly wish for the assassination of Barack Obama?

now this story? The media is working overtime
inciting violence. IMO
Well, yeah, but too many stars.
history shows that great civilizations die with a fizzle. they slip quietly into manifest destiny.
Our present culture has been properly primed and prepped for this "Change" and the layers of law enforcement will catalyze it
I’m not advocating just predicting.
Even if there were a 3rd party that could win, the results would look *Iranian*.
The Iranian populace is not heavily-armed.
We already know we're getting screwed.
What happens if the health care is nationalized, amnesty is passed, gun confiscation is enacted?
What will finally break the proverbial camel's back?
When do WE make OUR intentions CLEAR?
