“Conservatives vs. Liberals? We have guns and they have their bongs.”

It’s a good theory, but socialists and communists have a clear history of being the most brutal, genocidal, re-educational dictators in modern history.

Besides, right now, they have the military.

They have the military? How many members of the military will want to fire upon civilians? I think the military would splinter as it did during the Civil War.

Bite your tongue! The military is NOT liberal.

"Besides, right now, they have the military."

I wonder if our military would shoot at their own people. Yes, I remember Kent State, but that was young, National Guard guys who were trying to disperse an unruly crowd of students after campus rioting, and began to feel hemmed in and panicked. That event was universally regarded as a tragic, stupid error. I am considering whether our own military would fire on a crowd of gray-haired, old grannies like me plus other inoffensive, middle-class types. In some countries and situations they will, and in other cases, they refuse. I don't know what I believe would happen, but I have been puzzling over it since The One was elected.
