I was responding to the poster who said any civil war would be neighbor against neighbor; I agreed with that poster.
You responded to my agreement with something about Utah being at war with itself, to which I responded that such a civil war would be a free-for-all, with Mormons and California transplants and everyone else all fighting each other.
Your response to that was that Utah and its governor would still be in charge, with the snarky postscript, “Get it?”
I said you had no idea what a civil war was.
You then said secession was not a war, but could lead to war.
I said nothing about secession. I was merely addressing what a real civil war entailed, which is – literally – neighbor vs neighbor, and sometimes even family member vs family member. Real civil wars tend to be internal: Think Rwanda.
Get it? You see, I can be snarky, too.
All of you anarchist civil war types crack me up. The possible upcoming civil war will be red STATES against blue STATES.
“All of you anarchist civil war types crack me up.”
You’re so full of crap, kid. The last thing I want to see is a civil war in the US; unlike you, who seems to eagerly await one, as per your comment about the possible upcoming civil war.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams
I have cited the very same to a few FReepers, especially those who are of the Blame America First clique.
You seem obsessed with civil war and secession; hence your screen name.
Get over it; that war ended long ago. We’ve moved on — sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the not so good; that’s just reality, and rather normal for such imperfect creatures as humans.
When the big economic collapse comes you will be begging for secession like a little girl.
I am obsessed with freedom. Whatever it takes.
Dream on, kid.
“I am obsessed with freedom. Whatever it takes.”
Your posting history would call that into question.
If you’re going to post a vanity with a graphic, at least make it so we can see the graphic. Am I the only one who cannot see it?
Sorry, I couldn’t get it to work. It was the red/blue by county map that’s been all over google for ever...
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms.

Thanks, I always loved that quote.
I know that map. What it doesn’t account for is population density. A large red portion might have 100,000 people while a small blue dot will have a couple million. The map’s perspective is wildly skewed.
