He should be up in about 5 minutes. He's written a book about a possible civil war between the right and left.

Yeah, I thought about picking up that book last time I was in the bookstore. I'll get it if the right wins. :)

He's being interviewed by a military guy. He should be up after the first break.

Going to be a short war. We have most of the guns. And the military. And the cajones.

It'd take the libs about 2 months to pull out of the quagmire and redeploy to France.

A shooting war?

How is that possible when only one side owns guns?

LOL

If the dummies try to make peace with the terrorists there's no doubt in my mind the violence will come here. When it does, sh!t will hit the fan..

The left thinks wars are fought by writing nasty letters to the NY Times and complaining to the UN.

The liberals may be against you owning for self-defence, but they most certainly will not be against owning arms themselves to attack you. Don't underestimate their willingness to take up arms against fellow Americans, and their ability to use them.

You're right. Bad idea to underestimate the enemy. They're tenacious political fighters. Could be the same in a shooting war.

Even George McGovern was a warrior.

Civil War between liberals and conservatives--an actual shooting war, no less?

Nonsense, all of it. Most folks, whatever their political leanings, just want to come home after a good days' work, play with the dog and the kids, eat dinner, catch the game on television, and hope they get lucky with their significant other after everyone's gone to bed.

Card--and lots of others, evidently--need to step away from their PCs for a few days and get some real-world perspective. This blogospheric 'connectedness' is leading to some fairly outrageous disconnection.

A good interview so far, EveningStar!

It sounds like Dale Dye did his homework.

Orson's making some very good points.

They're coming up on another break.

Jack.
