Really? How about one brother increasingly appropriating the fruits of the other brother's labors?
This will 'bring it on' before anything else.
The left realizes that there’s only so much “nibbling around the edges” in implementing communism without disarming those who would resist.
They either need to be identified, put out of power, and safeguards set up to prevent their return to power,
or we’re going to have the third war for independence, precipitated by an attempt to disarm the “resistors”.
I agree and the catalyst will be union activism. They are trained to mayhem and violence, so it comes easily to them.
brother against brother tragedy of a Second American Civil War.” An illegal alien is no brother of mine?
“Can we prevent a second civil war?”
First question: why would you want to?
Lest anyone fly off the handle and call that insensitive, let me say this, a civil war would not be the worst thing that could result from current situation. One side is already fighting hard, and has been for a century...and they’re winning. War isn’t pretty, but submission to tyranny is uglier still.
We’re opponents in a serious game. Playing to win is good - taking our ball and going home if we don’t get our way isn’t...
Exactly. The coming economic meltdown will trigger it - those other issues are irrelevant. The Takers will want to keep right on taking - directly from the public once their intermediaries in government are incapacitated. The public will fight back. It’s going to look like (and be labeled by liberals as) a race war, but it will be 100% caused by the public miseducation system run by those same liberals.
WRONGO!! The biggest threat to ignite a 2nd U.S. civil war is looming--when Obama loses in 2012. Looking forward to it. (Him LOSING)
No other issues? I disagree. Our financial problems are a major issue.
you really believe that? astonishing.
By way of comparison, Islam has been waging jihad for 15 centuries. We fought back, briefly, in the time of the Crusades, but since then we have largely submitted to Islamic encroachment. The other side fights hard, and we try to ignore the struggle.
In the same way, as you indicate, the Left has been at war with western civilization for a long time. I would say it really began with the French Revolution in 1789. The other side fights hard, and we try to ignore the struggle.
I have no desire to delay the struggle. I want the fight, because everything I value in this earthly realm is slipping through my fingers.
Answer: No.
I think Federal intrusion into our personal lives is a 4th issue which could trigger things. People are pretty fed up with being told what they can eat, where they can go, what they can say, what they can wear, what they must believe, etc. etc.
Bailing out bankrupt liberal states with the federal tax dollars (present or future) of conservative state residents.
And the media will spin it as the “racist hoarders” “massacring the hungry”.
Dittos to your comments!
I think he misses at least one other major tipping point.
That is ever-increasing legal robbery by government from the producers to whatever other classes government deems is the proper recipient of those monies. Government-sponsored and approved class warfare.
This will only be tolerated for so long too if they do not stop. You can only ‘go galt’ for so long. There are always new ways to tax those you believe you’re not getting enough out of, currently.
