I don’t get the geographic/demographic analogy. And this is 100% coverage, not a regional area. This will be a different sort of civil war, less regional. We are all mixed together. It will be racial, religious, and urban v. rural. More like Bosnia and the French Revolution and the Cromwell years than the American Civil War or the Revolutionary war.
We are all slaves now....
The analogy is just political.
Or an out and out insurgency like Iraq (only more nationalistic than religious).
We must now make a clear and obvious delineation of what has to be rolled back, and what can no longer be tolerated in order to avoid the inevitable conflict which will occur if the socialists misread our resolve and intentions.
I’ve heard that line “A house divided against itself cannot stand” so many times, but this time it sent a chill up my spine. It can’t go on like this. It is unsustainable.
Historically the socialists never misread the opposition
they ignore it or repress it. There will be blood.
All the more reason for this to be stopped in November.
To allow them to fortify their positions another two
years would mean that much MORE blood.
Right now you are correct, but the states that are starting to assert their independence are mostly conservative. If nationalized HC doesn't get stopped in the courts or in the legislative it's not far fetched to see a time 10 years from now when southern states want out of the union.
One need only change a single word to understand this
in todays light.
A House divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure; permanently half socialist and half free.
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It will become all one thing or all the other.
Either the opponents of socialism, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.
Exactly. A conflict is coming, the shape of which is yet to be determined.
I fear you may be right. God help us all.
You are dreaming if you think November is going to change anything.
This will NEVER be peacefully repealed. The exact same fight went on during FDR and nothing ever happened.
America is at a cross road TODAY. We either prepare to do what our founders had to do or surrender to the Marxists.
The violence is going to come, we won’t start it, Andy Stern et al will...we just need to be prepared to respond and respond in a way that WILL NOT be misunderstood or not taken seriously.
You can see the arrogance in Obama, Pelosi, etc NOW...they don’t care about Nov. They are going pass so much disasterous marxist legislation between now and then healthcare won’t even be what we are talking about...it will be the 12 other industries they have nationalized by then.
Watch what happens when Obama takes everyone’s retirement account this summer and gives everyone an IOU.
It’s coming.
You assume there will be elections in November.
Bill Ayers said some thirty or so years ago that for them to take over America over 30 million people would need to be “eliminated”. I would think the number is larger now.
That means us.
“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.” Thomas Jefferson
We deserve just what we are getting, and it is up to us to change it.
Apathy must end...
John Brown was NOT unjustified. His truth, echoed by others who forcefully freed slaves throughout the south and fought slave-catchers all the way to Canada, marched on. Non-violence only goes so far and allows innocents to suffer too long.
