My better half and I were discussing this. It’s not inconceivable, but I think more likely if Obama loses. His supporters are generally lawless and prone to violence.
“Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just eight percent (8%) of likely voters think that the US Congress is doing a good job.”
Then the 8 percent went back to finishing off the bottle of Jack Daniels.
yes
Of course not. We will just all go back to what has already proven to be so effective... Vote, write letters and call our “elected officials” sometimes called politicians but more like self-proclaimed little gods to tell them what we really want and need.
Or we could stage a massive demonstration one day and call it a Tea Party.
That has worked really well hasn’t it?
One has to wonder who is really stupid doesn’t one?
And because the libtard parasite and prey mentality of force,altruism, collectivism, statism, and socialism is utterly incompatible with the mentality of producers of freedom and natural rights. There cannot ever be any long run agreement between the two.
Since 2001 OPEC has not gotten a dime from me.
Since 2008 Obama hasn’t gotten a dime from me.
Since 2009, I have not owned a TV, nor paid one dime for any entertainment, zero support for liberal media.
I employ myself, and I train myself. I walk a minimum of 5 miles a day, and train in a martial art whose tactics are in effect just like sentry removal.
If I lost everything tomorrow, I could walk on.
Well, if Obama wins, it will indeed be the signal that the “takers” have at last overwhelmed the “makers,” and future political exercises are rather moot endeavors, and the end of America as a free country is finally within sight. I don’t know about an actual ‘civil war’ the way people are expecting, but a strong secessionist movement will likely occur as an action of self-preservation against Obama’s parasitic hoards.
It’s the other way around - zombie apocalypse starts November 5
I’m concerned that there will be riots and fighting no matter how the election goes.
Count me in.
The real problem is citizens of the ‘0bamaphone’ way of thinking, of whatever race, vs. people who make phones and phone services. This divide is permanent.
I don’t know what the 0bamaphone people will do with themselves when they actually have to do for themselves without support. That day will come.
750 million rounds is not near enough. By the way, can anyone name the companys selling these rounds? I want to add them to my list.
“Will An Obama Victory Spark A Civil War In The US?”
No. Of course not. Not yet.
BUT… it will be “one more brick in the wall”. Actually, a second Obama victory will put many more bricks into that wall.
I’ve been writing here on FR for a few years now about the increasing “divide” in America, the Great Divide that has occurred between those who value the freedoms and cultural mores of “traditional America”, and those who embrace “the new slavery” through which all their needs will [seemingly] be taken care of, in exchange for their freedom.
The two sides are irreconcilable and the gap between them has now become a chasm. It is unbridgeable because there is no way for either side to accept ANY core value the other side embraces. The two factions loathe each other. They hate our guts, and I guess we can say the same about them.
On November 7, this will be more apparent than it has yet been. There will be no “coming together” the day after this election. The election itself will come to be seen as the “choosing of sides” — there will be few “in the middle” afterwards. Actually, the polls illustrate this now, with either camp locked in the mid-high 40% range, with next-to-no one in between.
Will “the wall” that’s being built between Americans and their government come a-tumblin’ down?
That’s a question that the traditional Americans will have to ask themselves, and eventually have to answer.
I see two possible futures:
1. The triumph of the socialist/authoritarian state in America. “Impossible!”, many Freepers will shout back in anger. But look around — the seeds are being sown. We are certainly moving towards European-style socialism. How much “Orwell” we get along with it seems limited only by how fast technology, and government’s desire to use it to monitor and control us, evolves. At the same time we will see increasing ethnic conflict within the borders, with the heavy hand of government as the only means by which to keep the lid on the pot. A grim future, indeed.
The time will come, perhaps an Obama victory and the next four years may accelerate that, when traditional Americans will have to decide to either accept choice #1, or…
2. …. Consider withdrawing from what that America has become, and re-congregate themselves into certain geographic areas in which they can maintain an overwhelming majority amongst themselves.
Most conservatives would probably be happy to undertake such a migration, provided that they could live amongst themselves semi-autonomously and be left alone by “the left” which is slowly but inexorably gaining an ever-tighter grip on American government and institutions.
However, it’s the left that can never permit this, because they will never tolerate any portion of the people aspiring to live free of their diktats. Instead, they will use every power they can muster, including that of the military and increasingly-militarized civilian police forces, to keep the traditional Americans under their boot.
At that point it becomes the decision of traditional America.
Will we submit?
Or……?
An obama win? No.
If he loses...all heck is breaking loose before Jan. 20, 2013
Texas has an out and were I a Texan I’d use it if obammy wins
Count me in if there’s another American Revolution. I’m an honorably discharged Marine who can still max out a 300 PFT.
"America is on the verge.....of conflict because its citizens have lost control of their government and lost faith in its political institutions."
I posit that here the writer has turned things around, thereby turning we, the citizens, into perps.
Citizens have NOT lost control of their government. Our government is an inanimate object, the brainchild of the Founders. We have a wonderful FORM of government. The truth is that it's the POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS, not us, who have lost control of THEMSELVES.....wild spending, getting us into unimagineable debt, putting folks out of work, turning our great FORM of government into socialism.....let me count the ways.
Secondly, citizens have NOT lost faith in our political institutions. Our political institutions are historic and noble....and we heartily trust the institutions themselves as they exist in FORM. It's the POLITICIANS and the LEFTIST MOLES in this country that have subverted, overrun, altered and in many cases, destroyed, the great traditional institutions developed since the Founding.
I, for one, still and will always have faith in both our form of government and in our political institutions which have served us well over two centuries.
As an example of attacks on our venerable political institutions, and whether Obama wins or loses, watch for the Left to campaign for eliminating the political institution of the Electoral College. If they are successful, we will have mob rule and we can kiss our republic form of government goodby.
The writer of the above article is a highly educated man. I hope he hasn't lost faith in our SYSTEM of academia which has given us the best colleges and universities in the world. Since this institutional SYSTEM of higher learning has been almost completely infiltrated and subverted by socialists, marxists and haters of America, I hope he is working his utmost not only to keep the original intent and lofty goals of academia healthy, but to throw the subvertors and radicals out with the bathwater.
Our great form of government and our proven political institutions are worth saving and holding onto for dear life.
Otherwise, the rest of the article is excellent.
Keep the faith.

It very well could because people are counting on the election to oust the communist. It is kind of their last chance kind of election.
I think it could get pretty ugly because Obama doesn’t follow the rule of law. He rules by fiat.
No civil war here. Just shoot my dog and wrestle my P-11 from my cold deat hands!
The dog is about 65 pounds and I have 4 clips (10 shots each) for the P-11!
Right away? No.
But as the Marxist douche nozzle keeps,us on a trend towards outright tyranny? Damn straight it will.
