I guess BO’s Lincoln fantasy envisions another Civil War. They should be careful what they wish for.
Socialists have never shrunk from violence when the time and tactic suited them. There is no reason to believe the Obama faction will remain nonviolent, especially if it faces severe reverses at the ballot box in 2010.
I expect at some point they will instigate violent protest against democratic election results, and use the response by freedom loving Americans as a pretext for more draconian government crackdown.
