I have to wonder if this wasn’t written by a liberal who’s scared to death there’s going to be a civil war."
"Sgt C" mentioned rough, tough, combat "secretaries." She might be a girl. ;-)

...guess she or he didn't want to be caught disseminating seditious anti-public-affairs materials. The National Guard (Army) is for putting down sedition, and each of the states' National Guard units belongs to the governor of each state. The governor of each state has the last word, and the federal government only uses NG soldiers with their permission. Riots by criminals, yes. But no, in a physical civil disagreement (if that were to happen), they won't stay cohesive to go around killing everyone. Each of them has his individual political opinions and loyalties, too. Leaders would cool any such excitement off, before it could happen.
There might be a few troublemaking jackasses here and there, but there's not going to be any civil war, as things are. There's no need. There's a potential for too much suffering in that, and most of us know it. After our usual political processes, there's the 1st Amendment and the marketplace.
It's already being fought, so to speak, in the
marketplace, and many others have joined Bill Gross in doing so. See what's happening to bonds, which is were the chain reaction begins.

Without revenues, wanna-be despots have nothing. They are properly and quickly replaced. And no, after the default (if it comes to that), we won't have despots from the other political party, either. We're all pretty well fed-up with the anti-American globalism. They'll love their American neighbors here or be stripped of all of their wealth for their special interests by market maneuvers.
Great post. My cousin was telling me the 101st Airborne would come down on us. (I don’t know where gets I was even calling for a rebellion. Like the typcical liberal they refuse to answer the questions you ask but they’re quick to answer questions that haven’t even been asked.) I pointed out to him that the 101st is made up of more patriots than liberals.
I hope November does the trick. But, like I’ve been saying, we need to be prepared. We can’t put anything past these anti American socialists.
What do you think would happen if a “crises” presented itself and O suspended the elections? Or worse, refused to allow the winners to be sworn in.
