Is The United States In a “Low Grade” Civil War?
Gay Patriot ^ | August 21, 2009 | Gay Patriot

Posted on 08/21/2009 9:47:36 AM PDT by Bratch

It is a chilling question and one that has been troubling me for about two weeks. I read the “low grade civil war” phrase as a declarative statement from a commenter on a news story about the Congressional Town Hall meetings and it has been rattling in my brain ever since.

I’ve been wanting to post about this question and today seemed like the right time since now I’m not the only one worried about this question. In today’s Washington Times, actor/activist Jon Voight makes this statement:

“There’s a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?” Mr. Voight tells Inside the Beltway.

“We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can’t see this is probably hoping it isn’t true. If we permit Mr. Obama to take over all our industries, if we permit him to raise our taxes to support unconstitutional causes, then we will be in default. This great America will become a paralyzed nation.”

“Do not let the Obama administration fool you with all their cunning Alinsky methods. And if you don’t know what that method is, I implore you to get the book ‘Rules for Radicals,’ by Saul Alinsky . Mr. Obama is very well trained in these methods.”

The reason it’s “cold” is that neither side knows which side the military will support. So, in a perverse manner, it’s the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction.

God help us all if this war gets “hot.”

I have recommended this everyone. Bookmark it and read it over and over. It makes more sense as time goes on. Even if you only use it to prepare yourself for the future. Don’t just set it aside, share it with your neighbors. www.timebomb2000.com/misc/CWII.pdf

1. Soap Box
2. Ballot Box
3. Ammo Box

The first two have been rendered ineffective.

Obama will either have to back way off or forge ahead with his radical left agenda. The backlash is going to overhelm him. It has to! America is not socialistic and never will be. Radical politicians have worked themselves into the driver seat but the car is running out of gas!

That is why I am for bringing our National Guard home and return them to the control of the States and not the Feds.

It’s the same “culture war” that has been going on for 50 plus years or so...
