“low grade civil war”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I’ve seen it referred to as the “Cold Civil War”.

“...as the spread of apathy among the population,”

First of all, huge groups of “apathetic” citizens are showing up at town halls and tea party rallies to air their greivances. That is the anti-thesis of apathy.

Secondly, many FReepers reading your posts may become apathetic as you continually dismiss any idea of a positive future where anything good happens. Its as if your world is one in which Lindsey Graham and Arlen Spector serve as overlords dictating all lines of action, which is to say no action or inaction without tacit compromise precisely divided down the middle against itself.

The sun will shine again my brother. Have confidence in that.

Which State will be the first to stand up to Washingtopia? Texas? Or will it be Counties or citys breaking away? Next year when the full impact of the economic disaster hits there is going to be total chaos. People are whistling past the graveyard right now.

“People are whistling past the graveyard right now.”

I disagree; we are preparing for the new year. I recently posted here what four things are needed before secession can succeed.

A friend of mine made a good point :

” I thought actors are supposed to ‘mind their own business’ because their opinions are no more valid than anyone else’s; they just have the ability to communicate to great numbers.
the rules change so often...hard to know what to believe....wearing me down “

I have seen the post before and have referred to it myself, but I think the liberator wasn’t actually air dropped as profligately as stated/inferred in the article (or at least not in Germany), but only in certain areas of Europe (behind German troop lines therein).

someone else gave me more background info on it, so if I find the reference, I’ll post it to you.

Your ping cracked me up though :)

That's why you see State Troopers guarding those little black girls during the Arkansas desegregation. The governor called up the Guard, Eisenhower federalized them, leaving the state the next line of defense - State Troopers.

That really makes no sense. It was the state that would NOT let them go to the white school, when the SCOTUS said they had to. The state refused, and therefore, the NG was federalized by the UGGov to protect them so they couldn't be stopped from going to school. Why would the state (in the form of their police) who didn't want them in the school, guard them? That's what the NG was doing.

If anything, the state would've used its police to prevent them from getting INTO the school, and then all hell would've broken loose, with a potential firefight between the federalized NG and the state police. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
