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.

Violent protests would invite unending sniper fire from patriots happy to deliver it.

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)
