Hard to say. My gut feel is no, there won’t be civil “war” but... I think it likely there will be civil unrest, protests, and a clash of ideals that probably will out-do even the late 60s...
As one of the caretakers of the CWII ping list I have cataloged, read and responded to hundreds of articles on this general topic in the last few years. There are two other caretakers who have been just as active, and about 80 freepers, some of whom have been on the list for five or more years. (Archy started it!)
My feeling is that we can’t say, but it is an outside possibility. Maybe 20% chance.
I much prefer peaceful seperation into several smaller countries. I don’t have a desire to MAKE people in Mass. stop taxing themselves to high heavens, own guns, end affirmative action or restrict 3rd world immigration. If they want to live in that way, they can.
I would just like some places where I am not forced to follow the dicatates of the hive-mind from NY, LA and Boston.
Peaceful seperation seems to me to be a far better option than the alternatives. I know many disagree and think we can and must “fix” America.
I think those people should all go spend a week in LA. I just did. My take is “it’s not America anymore” and I’d like an international border between here (Washington State) and there.
I realize that it’s going to be hard. Most of my state is pretty conservative - but then we have Seattle. Maybe we need some ‘enclaves’ or city-states again. I’m not sure.
I’m pretty sure the left is never going to stop insisting I agree to every point of their program, and I’m pretty sure they will eventually push too hard and draw a backlash.
Methinks that our government is sure all is well....
“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards,” Holder said at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C.
Sic semper tyrannis!!!!!
I see this going one of two ways:
1. If Obama persists in the destruction of all that has been traditionally American, those millions of Americans who don’t want to go there will rise up and resist, hopefully at the polls in 2010 and so decimate the Dems in the House and Senate that he will be a powerless lame duck for the last half of his one and only term. If ACORN does it’s thing again and steals those races, there will be BIG TROUBLE.
2. If the election does turn our way, Obama will get the message and back off his full court press to the fascist/socialist nightmare for which he has set a speedy course. The welfare class to which he made those completely undoable, idiotic promises during the campaign will become angry at anyone they see as the enemy and strike out. Given the sad history of crime in the inner city neighborhoods, that could get very ugly for suburbia.
Which ever way it goes, suggest you get ready for SOMETHING.
