If you read my post, you would see I said these mobs would be a factor and this is so. To control them, shoot them, conscript them, whatever, would take valuable soldiering off the front lines where it would be needed to fight the civil war.
And if you think these welfare folk can be conscripted, you are fooling yourself. These people are useless. It is much easier to see them forcing the educated snowflakes out of their snuglies and handing them shovels. Again, this would take huge amounts of precious soldiers that can’t be spared.

No need to bother shooting them when you can starve and freeze them out.

But shooting them would be so much more satisfying. :-)

I will be pragmatic and say at least the South could be self sufficient and could fight valiantly for a while until embargos, blockades and the Union prevailed. The left has NOTHING to go to war with. I know 1000 ways in which we will pulverize them. I will suggest they look at a few videos of Iraq and Syria and rethink Civil War.

Yes, in Lucifer as the Light of Truth not God

And the Governments and leaders as his instruments to lead us forward

Atheists don’t believe in Lucifer, either. Face it, atheism cannot be destroyed because there will always be doubters and skeptics.

Entire ports could be shut down with nothing more than a phone call.

The North used a lot of immigrant soldiers to take down the South, and the Northern elite arranged things so they suffered relatively little.

I like Kurt, but he ignores the potential for outside militaries to intervene.

Do you think Obama or successors would have any compunction on calling for NATO or Chinese “peacekeepers” to pacify U.S. rural areas?

There would be lots of Mexicans willing to fill ranks in the U.S. Army and Marines, if it came to that, for generous benefits and a promise of a piece of rural America confiscated from conservative “rebels”.


You beat me to it. Schlicter ignores the effects of a probable outside intervention. The U.N. from the east, Chinese from the west, Russians from the north and Mexican narco-terrorist gangs from the south will pose an invasive force that may overwhelm the red-state advantage.

I would be especially wary of the Chinese. They could put millions of men on three fronts (Canada, California and Mexico) in short order. Baring the use of tactical nuclear weapons (which isn't going to happen) the communists could own the western half of the United States very quickly.

Most city folk always confuse a 4 wheel drive vehicle with a tank, hell they don’t even know how to drive a tracked vehicle.

It takes belief to be an atheist - one has to believe that there is no God, gods, or higher being/entity). Belief, as with faith, is a fundamental tenant of a ‘religion’.

The Left has been successful slow-boiling the frog for many decades, but lately they’ve gotten cocky and impatient, and the frog is onto them. Quick, get the lid!

LOL! Great post.

They could field at best maybe 5 million with outside forces. Maybe a few more million Chinese. We have about 80 million militia ready to go. Attrition for them would be a bitch. Most likely though: the war would be over very quickly with a siege on the cities. Focused attacks on the liberal elite. They couldn’t surrender fast enough.

Do you believe in unicorns? No? Then you believe there are no unicorns. So that’s a belief. Hmmm. Sorry, in my world, absence of belief in unicorns does not create a belief.
That’s like saying not playing football is a sport.

Your wrong; your scenario would only play out in the major population centers, and they wouldn’t last long.
Conservatives in California are outnumbered by the Progs in the major metropolitan areas.
BUT WE CONTROL ALL THE FOOD PRODUCTION , WATER, AND POWER PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION.
We control all the MAJOR DISTRIBUTION ROUTES.
All of these things start and are basically controlled from very conservative areas of California.
The choke points are at I-5 in southern Tehama County, the I-5 at Gorman, the I-10 at White Water, the I-15 at Barstow, the I-80 at Truckee.
There are a few more minor routes in the central valley and southern California that would be easy to cut off in strategic locations, but you cut off those major routes and most of California starves, dies of thirst (cut off the power and you stop the pumps) and has no electrical power.

True, they will believe in Government which is driven bu Lucifer so long way around the barn they still accept his system and beliefs which are modeled via the appointed leaders, that is what HRC and her co-conspirators were shooting for.

Also look up a video on YT that is an interview with BHO’s brother, he says that Obozo is not a Muslim but a Luciferian and not born in Kenya either.

No, it isn’t. There is no such thing as a system of disbelief.

Red Americans are Communist-Fascists. I’m a Conservative Blue, not a Commie Red. I cringe when I see intelligent people using the Orwellian media newspeak relabeling. It distracts badly in such an article. Down with the real REDS !

Amen to that!

Atheism IS a belief system, period.
