It would not be pretty. Civil wars are always harder and more bloody than the proponents expect.

I'm with you. I'm not at all confident conservatives could win. How old are most of us now, 50? 60? 70? We can scoff at libs because they don't generally know how to shoot and don't own guns, but how long does it take to make a soldier? Ten weeks of basic and six or so of AIT.

I'm afraid us old timers probably wouldn't do very well against an army of young commies who were motivated by a raging hatred of everything conservative, no matter how confident we are now that we could put a whuppin' on them.

Furthermore, the longer the fight lasted the worse it'd be for us: They'd be getting experience while we'd just be getting older.

Our only hope would be our warriors who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. But if the armed forces came down on the side of some hypothetical socialist president, it'd be a rough road for them. Nope, I do not want to see such a conflict.

“Our only hope would be our warriors who have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

I understand your concerns and your points, but I don't agree. Just look around at kids in grade school, high school, college. They have so much ‘stuff’, and their approach to life is anything but ‘socialist revolutionary’. They want to download off of iTunes, not sleep in tents and destroy corporations like Apple. When they get a good whiff of what the socialist morons are selling, they won't want it. Revolutions only work when there is a permanent and large underclass with no hope of upward mobility, like in an old European monarchy. The Ayers and Obamas of the world understand this, which is why they push policies that target the middle class and promote polarization. Won't work.

I think we would. I just don’t think it would be easyor cheap, and I am not sure what would be left. Some fights just have to be fought though.
