That is spreading insidiously through this country. It was/is a subject to be whispered or commented on in blogs off the main track...no more! That subject is riots, civil war, insurection. A year ago it would have been unthinkable that it would have been discussed or even considered possible. But now it is being talked about, by everyday Americans and on the blogs and even by journalists of all stripes. The fear that no matter what the outcome of the upcoming election, there will be violence. And that violence could escalate into riots, and the riots into general insurection and thus civil war. I have heard it discussed among young and old.
The reasons for this fear are many, but it has been spread by the rancor of this election. By the division of the two camps of thought, and by the media and the Obama camp with their constant charges of racism. These charges which are mostly unsubstantiated and/or false have raised the anger level of those hoping to see a black as president. I would like to see a black man or woman as president. I can undertand their desire for this. But the racism charges which have been a constant refrain throughout this campaign has done nothing more than garantee violence, no matter what the outcome of this election. It has divided this country in ways that may never be healed.
So we face, as a country, an uncertain future. With the economy in taters, and the troubling divide among our countrymen and those wishing to see the downfall of this nation, the future is grey but is a time for all Americans to stand together as one.
I have traced my family on both sides back to the original 13 states. My family has served in our nations military all the way back to the civil war and before. My family helped build this country. My great grandfather was one of the original settlers in the area where I now live. He came here back in the mid 1870's as a prospector and then became a farmer. My grandparents were farmers, and I am a small farmer. My father spent his life in the military. Both of my parents sacrificed for his career serving our country. It wasnt an easy life for them, or for us, their children. Being shuffled from town to town, country to country, never knowing where you might be the following year. You form attachments to other military through necessity because they know the life. But you grow up knowing that those who serve in our military do so regardless of the personal cost. That goes for both the active duty person and the spouse as well. Because BOTH are serving their country, each in their own way.
I myself served in the army for 12 years. It was not an easy life. And it has cost me. But I served proudly, and would do so again if able. And if I cannot serve actively I will serve behind the scenes. I love this country, I love the land. And I will not stand by and see this country destroyed by opportunists and enemies of America. I will stand as one with all our citizens who love this country. For those that have threatened to riot and destroy if you do not get your way, I say do so at your own risk. You will find AMERICANS standing shoulder to shoulder to protect our country, our way of life, our cities and towns, our families, our fellow Americans. It matters not what your faith is, or your color, man or woman. We are Americans. And will stand as such against all threats.
I agree. There maybe some rioting. Heck LA rioted when the Lakers WON.
But, overall, I think this is another scare tactic.
At that time I was a kid living in Van Nuys.......... I sure remember the drama.
Not fear; opportunities.;-)
Using the ping list, Jack. This was a no-brainer.
Meant to say openly talking.
Trying to multitask to no avail;-)
Yep, Chilean model would be an interesting roadmap.
Isolated incident obviously done by a pair of teenagers.............
The same ignorant mentality that tried to blow up my custom mailbox on 7/26/08........

....is it wrong for a cracker to stay at the Ritz in NYC ?
That is the heart of the issue ... we may have seen the Soviet Union crumble into sttelite nations no longer directly run by Moscow, but we have not defeated Communism. Barack Hussein Obama is a flatout Marxist, and he is looking like winning this nation for Marxism.
LOCK AND LOAD!
You can get a Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun for $400. Real life track record of one shot stopping power with 00 buckshot - 96%.
I just got a tactical stock and a new holo sight for mine.
You can thank Charles Schumer, too. It was he who, using insider information, toppled the first domino in the financial string when he publicly fingered Indymac as on the verge of collapse. His comments made on camera led to immediate run on the bank and subsequent failure, as the dominoes began toppling on cue. Indymac may have held out for another year withoiut a run on its cash that Schumer instigated.
The damn ideology is SO seductive to the weak minded and uneducated. It all ‘feeeeeels good’ until people who don’t agree start needing ‘reeducation’. And then it’s too late.
It seems we won’t stamp it out until we have a real tiffy with the local commies, deal with them, and then outright BAN the ideology and madate teaching of its’ EVIL from gradeschool on.
“Be Prepared”
I am pausing in reverence. My favorite Line of the Declaration of Independence. The most important part of the whole document.
See my post #49.
spot on
We as a nation have come full circle.
