Problem is if you look outside FreeRepublic...talk radio and Fox news no one seems to know anything about this and doesn't give a damn. I hear it every day. "Say what?...they're still arguing over that healthcare bill? I haven't heard a thing about it lately".
You live in an alternate universe in CA. FR is only one site of many on the web. There is lots of talk about these things in other parts of the country. The Dems would not be having the kind of trouble passing this sham bill they are having if they were not getting blitzed by constituents like they are. They are getting pummeled by phone calls, letters, petitions and emails by the thousands everyday.
I think it’s more likely the US will eventually break up like the old Soviet Union. Not saying it’s a certainty, or that I want it to happen though.
When our economy totally collapses(a matter of when, not if) and the Feds can’t pay the troops, we’ll just dissolve. Sure there’ll be unrest and violence, but not a full scale hot war. That’s how I see it..
Maybe a Phoenix can rise from the ashes.
I understand the alternate universe I live in...but I have friends who are good hard-working Americans who go home and turn on broadcast news...are too busy to hang out at conservative blogs...and believe the MSM about talk radio being just entertainment. They have no real clue as to the seriousness of the problem. Strange thing is that I run into more conservative minded people here than liberals by far, (even in deep blue CA) but they just don't get that there is a real threat afoot. I gotta believe that this must be true elsewhere in the country. What with schools...newsprint and broadcast news controlled by the left it is pretty tough to expect many to not be somewhat brainwashed even if at the core good intelligent people. Then you add that 40% that are mouthbreathing useless eaters...and the gutless who turn and run at the first sign of a skirmish...I just think there are fewer of us than there are of them. Don't get me wrong...I hope this is not true.
Yeah that makes more sense...the people that built this country had far more passion and fire about protecting it than those who inherited it. It's like anything you get for free...you just don't appreciate it like you would if you had to work for it. That's why I'm so opposed to amnesty for illegal Mexicans....just a free pass. How can you expect them to respect and care for this country when they get it for free?
Oh yeah and we have to add that to the mix....
This can be brought to the court by any by any citizen(they have leagal standing) because its in the Constitution.
.....”I just think there are fewer of us than there are of them. Don’t get me wrong...I hope this is not true”.......
That remains to be seen I think Niteflyr. Someone said leaders won’t rise to the occasion until there is blood on the streets...or something like that. It is all about the numbers. Just as with so called moderate muslims...there are simply not enough of them nor the financing. So who would finance a rebellion in our country? I can’t see it happening. What I can see is people not paying taxes or a revolt that hits the pockets in Washington. Stop the cash flow and they will then sing a different tune.
You are so right...have you been to Threat Matrix on FR? There is some amazing coverage of the islamic threat and information of those who are spreading it and how. Plus happenings acrooss the nation and world. Pays to stop by at least every other day...they have some remarkable insite to what’s really going on...no political correctness there.
The author makes a good point. If the SCOTUS ruled the line-item veto unconstitutional, they MUST do the same with the Slaughter bill.
Thanks..
War has been declared on the citizens of this country and it is not the Islamic terrorists who are doing the damage.<<
You might want to reconsider this coment!!
What Civil War?<<<< There is plenty of armchair bluster but revolt is a pipe dream.
Organized resistance and mass civil disobedience can destroy their plans amd is the only viable strategy at this point!
Take a lesson from the revolutionary war, the time for shooting is when they come for your guns!!
I frankly don’t see anyone to eager to give up the comfort of their computer screens to risk what is neccesary to combat the communists!!
Its coming.... very VERY soon.
saving
So, are you ready to kill your neighbor... or brother... or cousin... or uncle to correct it?
If you can honestly say that enough Americans will organize into combat units and are willing to kill their own countrymen; their own kin, if necessary, to correct this... then there might be a civil war.
If not, there won’t.
In the grand scheme of things, the loss of a few hundred thousand communists to save the republic would be a just tradeoff. Better dead than red.
That's not a civil war - that's a massacre.
Civil war requires a split in the officer corps of at least the land forces, whereby principled and honorable officers, all bound by and intending to obey their oaths, disagree about the meaning of that oath applied to a certain set of circumstances. The limits (if any) of the sovereignty of Virginia was one such example.
The present crisis contains the seeds of such a split, but the situation has not yet matured.
Gestures of rebellion while the central government retains the loyalty of the armed forces will actually make the path of the present government easier.
I’m a bit concerned that, for all the talk of a major backlash against dems in November, too many idiot voters will get the idea by then they haven’t been hurt and the sky hasn’t fallen. They may talk themselves (with extensive help from the SRM) into believing this won’t be “such a bad thing.” Our side HAS to keep the heat on.
