So....is THIS where we're really headed?

Will there, sooner or later, be another U.S. Civil War?

Look at all the vitriol on this thread. It demonstrates that the lack of respect that could lead to violent events such as we saw yesterday. When a person lacks the facts, they go with name calling and basic verbage of abuse and slander.

A truly intelligent person can debate without these tactics and keep in on a repectful level wthout ending with horrific occurrences..
 
I really don't think one crazy guy opening fire on a congresswoman we never heard of until recently really counts as the start of a civil war. Fort Sumter was a tad bit more violent, just a tad. And by tad I mean times a million
 
If there's ever again going to be a revolution in this nation, it will NOT be based on regionalism, but on CLASSism.

That being said, I put the odds of that in my lifetime at about zero point nothin'.
 
Really started in '09, has only gotten worse since. What if armed mini insurrections like this become a norm? Pandemic?

I know we're a nation founded on violent, bloody revolution, but that's supposed to be the LAST LAST resort......and if this current administration doesn't change it's dirty, underhanded, authoritarian ways to ramming its agenda thru.....it'll only worsen this trend and encourage further attacks on its party.......


Tucson rampage casts light on toxic political tone

WASHINGTON – Politicians of all stripes are bound to be haunted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' warning, 10 months before she was shot, to cool the rhetoric.

It's been a year or more of raw politics, with anger spilling over on both sides and gun-related metaphors coming loosely from the lips of some candidates and activists. Giffords, a figurative target of the right, on Saturday became the actual target of a gunman who shot her through the head and killed at least five others. She was critically wounded.

The gunman's motive is not known.

But in Pima County, Ariz., Sheriff Clarence Dupnik suggested "all this vitriol" in recent political discourse might be connected to Saturday's shootings. "This may be free speech," he told reporters, "but it's not without consequences."

Whatever the motive, the toxic tone of the national debate is certain to draw greater scrutiny.

Vehement rhetoric does not equate to shooting each other. We're not even close to a civil war in this country, IMO.

If I see someone on my side of the political divide aiming a gun at someone on the other side due to nothing but disagreements over the role of government I'm more apt to shoot the one with the gun on that basis alone.

If there's anything that resembles a war in this country, it won't primarily be over politics. Politicians and their wild, out of control spending and sell America down the toilet actions will have caused it, but that won't be the primary reason violence breaks out in America. The primary reason will be because people are hungry, thirsty, broke and desperate.

And yes, I do believe we will see some level of it.

As was demonstrated in 1861-1865; the Federal Army will ruthlessly destroy any treasonous movements/groups.
 
No, there won't be. Someday in the future, you may see a dissolution of the United States into smaller countries that work together (much like the European Union). But there will be no Civil War. Our military won't allow for that.

that are chock full of hate lies and corruption, YOU are part of the problem.

You spam the board with your cut and paste talking points and then make and agree with BS claims that are based on biased opinions of your fellow righties.

Like this completely baseless and bs opinion based gem provided by the T that you applauded




Way to shine a big bright light on the problems that you and your fellow hacks are creating and promoting with your "hate, lies, and corruption."

Dunno how I missed your lil amsuing sheep ass before.:lol:

Not my fault TRUTH hurts you so much, another tired Obamabot are we?

You'd do well to back down now, lest I utterly destroy you, just like I destroyed the other lil wacko lefties like TM, rdean, "right"winger, NYcarineer, Common Sense, oh the list goes on.

Nice company you're making there.:lol::cuckoo:

LOL you come on with cut and paste nonsense in a lame attempt to support your regurgitation of baseless rightwing talking points and you are me a sheep?? LOL now that is hilarious.

What truth are you pretending hurts me?? I have to ask because you nor T provided anything but baseless opinions. Please explain before you cut and run like all of the rest of the delusional rightwing hacks.

You must fear his imaginary belt of imaginary conquests. :0)

Your point about the shit these border-line shooters stir up is well-taken.
 
I have a bad feeling about what happens when Progressives finally realize that all their hate and 24/7 negative attention on Palin will not be able to stop her from winning in 2012.

You're right, it won't help stop her from winning. What will help stop her from winning is the sensible Republicans and moderates that carried the Republicans in the mid-term elections who won't vote for the daft bitch. She won't even win the primary.

*Facepalm*

The national TEA Party sentiment, and a general, true conservative awakening is what swept us back into power.

Damn you're stupid!
 
Not sure if there will be another civil war or not. Certainly not between states, but among political ideals-it's possible I guess, but I highly doubt it. I think this event will be a turning point one way or another-it will either be a very loud wake up call, or will escalate things even further.

I certainly think we're headed in a time of riots, mass violence, and civil unrest, but whether that turns into a civil war or not? I don't think it will.

LOL, exactly. It's obvious that he can't show something that he dreamed up which is why he failed to do so. However, it's hilarious that he didn't wait long to cut and run. Furthermore, seeing that he cut and ran in three of his cut and paste propaganda threads it's pretty obvious that he knows he got owned. LOL
 
Its happened before..

We freed blacks from slavery...we had a civil war
We granted civil rights to blacks....we had bombings and murders

Now we have a black president

Here is my race card....welcome to America
 
No, there will not be another civil war. The US government will put a stop, a hard and fast ending to anyone they find committing acts of violence and murder and hate.

The right will just keep on spewing their gun violence rhetoric. Obviously the message is to deny words matter. It isn't looking like ANY Republicans are going to tell the Palin, Bachmann or Angle, to stop the dangerous propaganda.

Come Eric Cantor, you can be the one to do it.

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) suggested that some rhetoric against the president, suggesting that he's a socialist or has pioneered the most left-wing presidency ever, has been over-the-top at times.

"I'll give you this: It's hyperbolic," Cantor said

LOL wow you AND this drsmith weirdo. How'd I'd miss yall?

Aey looks like we got 2 new Obamabots who parrot insane DNC talking points, attempt to absolve the left of this mess WHICH IS MOSTLY THEIR/YOUR FAULT, and enjoy dual circle jerks.:lol:

Oh this is gonna be good..............

The problem we have are people that thinks its one sides fault.

Sorry, but gotta ask:


Your'e not really this fuckin retarded, are you?
