Civil unrest is already here. Civil disorder will be coming

“Then the revolution will go from “cold” to “hot”.”

We won the cold war without going directly hot.

This must be first, a revolution of the minds of Americans.
If we fail there, no hot revolution can succeed, we will not have the support of the people.

If this poll is true, then we should see the evidence of a political conservative revolution in November.

If the SOBs attempt to steal elections again, God, devil or sun help them.

The rabble that riots and causes grief to the citizens (think Philly flash mobs) do so against unarmed, unprepared citizens.

IF (but I'm thinking when), these hooligans take it upon themselves to prey outside of their arenas, they will be met by a very different citizen.

The good news is that the conservative message is getting out and I do hope that it will be a just fight based on the conservative ideas.

That is, unfortunately, the case. I've seen refugees in action; they're like locusts. Within every refugee horde will be found the gamut of the worst qualities in humanity. They will assert that they deserve whatever you have because they left all they had behind. Be wary of strangers.

After the next election, if Republicans gain a majority, it won't matter to most of those angry now that we are living under tyranny. They will go back to sleep, thinking someone else will take care of the problem. Not that that is what I want, but it is what will happen. I see the see saw effect as purposeful and purposed. They will take away all of our liberties one election cycle at a time.

This may be a good thing going forward, after the shake out and humility sets in on those who are left, America could be a much better place to call home.

Really? In your scenario the military would also collapse. Obama is already seeking to destroy all US nuclear weapons and all new weapons systems. Who, then, would stop invaders from simply taking America?

Fox reporting a survey today - “79 percent of voters think it’s possible the economy could collapse, including large majorities of Democrats (72 percent), Republicans (84 percent) and independents (80 percent)”

That say a lot of Dems aren’t buying everything Obama is selling either. The best thing we can do is to keep the focus on the policy issues, leave the personalities aside so that the door is open for those who realize the error of their liberal ways can come over and join the fight.

Not saying “reach across the aisle” or “big tent” or any of that BS, just saying that we’re going to see folks question what they’ve been told and evaluate the lies and propagande from the Left more critically than in the past. We need all the help we can get, because the only way out of this mess is to elect Conservative leaders who will repeal and deny further encroachments on freedom.

What I believe has a good chance of happening is that the increased violence and demands from the leisure class/hooligans will be met by a fed up citizenry and pressured police.

No longer will people be silent as they are beaten by thugs, folks will become prepared and fight back. Thugs will die, riots will start, the usual looting, etc will ensue and be met by a even more fed up and better prepared citizenry.

"Who, then, would stop invaders from simply taking America?"

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)

"Fox News Poll: 79% Say U.S. Economy Could Collapse"

The other 21% are under the pile already!

I’m thinking it will take a bit longer and not so many after they work themselves over. But after that a rude awaken is instore; sawed off scatter guns and gangsta gats will prove quite inadequate against the likes of Leupold, Burris, Winchester, Savage and Remington.

I think I’ll go make sure the camp trailer is well stocked again. I always figure that I’ll keep a lot of my supplies in it so that if we have to leave, we leave with a home and provisions. I know some very unaccessible places to go

That’s quite an article. I’d missed it before so thanks for reposting. Required reading for all patriots IMHO.

Rather like when the the gangbangers in LA met the KMA ( Korean Merchants Association)

I doubt it would be great living in a ruined wasteland. The rebuilding is what should be focused on, who gets to make those decisions?

When Alexander the Great was on his death bed his generals asked him who would inherit his kingdom. His response is the same as the one for your question. "The Strongest"

See Haiti after the earthquake, or look at looting in Chile. That is what happens in Third World nations like what Obamao is turning America into. The LA riots and daily life in Detroit are just glimpses at the social nightmares that can happen here. America will become Detroit.
