These are all very good questions, because our nation may well be in the early stages of a civil war. Historically speaking , similar questions were asked in 1864.
Obama means to create a similar devide if he can swing it, and perhaps your questions will wake people up to it. Civil war in 1865 was created by social conditions. Obama is trying to invoke civil war by engineering social ad economic conditions. I do not believe it will work for him. But it will likely get very rough in certain parts of our country, when our economic problems are combined with what Obama is trying to create in Arizona and all along the border.
I agree it looks like the run up to a civil war. However would someone from AZ answer what I wrote before?
Something I am wondering. Is this sheriff popular enough in AZ that IF he refused to acknowledge the legal authority of DOJ to sue him, and refused to surrender.....to the point of armed resistance....would the people of AZ support him? What would the governor do? If AZ ARNG troops were federalized to use military force against the sheriff, would most of these ARNG soldiers do so or refuse?
Im NOT advocating anything, Im just wondering.
