I think we are entering a period of civil war, between civilization and those who wish to end civilization.
The biggest problem with this whole civil war thing is that it will be between people who care little about much versus those who have a lot to lose. Equalization during or after civil war results in those having a lot to lose, losing much or all of it, and those who don’t, not gaining much at all, if at all, but hoping they would. So who wants to start the fight? That’s easy to answer.
The Commies can feel their grip on power slipping away as Obama's reelection prospects dim.
Reminds me of the Sandinistas as they were losing power.
Look for massive looting of everything that is not nailed down as January 20th approaches.
Yes, the barbarians have always been there. They only become a threat when civilization becomes decadent.
