Is another Civil War brewing?

[Uncensored2008]

Having two weeks worth of food in case of any number of emergencies that could arise, and the means to protect said food,hardly makes one a prepper.

I'll bet I have two weeks worth of food - but it's not really on purpose, and consists mostly of green beans, corn, and other such canned goods bought in bulk from Sams club,

I'm not a prepper, I just shop at Sam's...

The wine would probably run out after a week, though...

I could live off of yard deer for quite a while!!!

What a lot of hyperbole.
There is not the slightest chance of anything like an organized rebellion against the present government.
There is not the slightest chance that anything presenting itself as a domestic opposing force would survive the first hostile contact with US troops.

It's as though you were walking in the woods and you encounter a corpse in a creek bed. You are horrified! Stunned! Shocked! And ultimately helpless until you clear your mind and call the authorities.

The stench lingers in your sinuses. The image haunts your dreams. The way you felt when first seeing and recognizing that you had found something so gruesome and putrid that it shook you to your very core.

And that's precisely my reaction to Dark Fury's hateful, misguided, and ultimately stupid posts.

Only wildlife in my area are squirrels and possums.

I'd have to be REAL hungry before eating rodents.

It never truly ended. Divided still to this day due to hate, intolerance, and the pursuit to stifle certain cultures - America is not yet made the leap to one nation, we're far from being united, but are rather at war with our own countrymen. When and how can this end when flags, love, god, and guns are being attacked from all fronts instead of addressing our true ailments ... hate!

Bullshit, but for a few malcontents, we are all Americans.

When our enemies shoot at us, there are no Dash-Americans.

The only way I would raise a rifle today to defend this country, is if the enemy invaded our soil and declared war on Americans.
Aside from that, this country is no longer worth fighting for.

And you will happily take what freebies you can from it. Your type always takes free things.

I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else. You don't know me or my motivations. What freebies exactly? I love my country. I'm a proud American and southerner. I support same sex marriage, I support flying the confederate battle flag and old glory. I'm not a racist, I don't discriminate against same sex couples, and I work hard for my piece of the American pie. Fact: This nation is divided. Hate, discrimination, the attack on guns and flags, God, love, and those who think they deserve something for nothing are to blame. Fact: This nations security is being compromised by civil unrest, terrorists, and ourselves. We're far from being united.

I am a 12th generation American.

In the 7th, there was some trouble, and, my people came out on the wrong end of it.

Here in the 12th generation, I honor that they did their duty, came home, and started over.

I despise the desecration of the Confederate flag by ignorant assholes, and it is a shame the tasteful display of it in a historical setting has become a political issue because of the actions of an insane person.

Keeps the peoples' minds off their economic woes though.

To deem the confederate flag a symbol of bigoted hate nationwide because of a very tiny few who have used it to that end is shameful. It does little more than honor those few who hate and invalidate the many who don't. This nation is taking a symbol of southern pride and are handing it over to hateful bigots.

Civil unrest? Damn right! And here we have people so oblivious to what's going on they fuel the racial tension unwittingly by demonizing a flag ... Political correctness so unjust ... So terribly misguided! Here's a thought: Quit attacking THINGS and start dealing with the criminally disturbed PEOPLE who use things to meet their hate filled ends.

A true Democrat would see that differently if the body were that of an infant, aborted minutes before birth.

In that case the reaction would be much different.

One of pride in achievement!

People revolt because they're hungry or poor or repressed. Someday, they'll produce a reality show about new-confederates or radical militias or gun fetishists. That's as organized as it will get. How can one united a mob angry over rule of law?

"If you start an armed insurrection against the duly elected government the military can be used to restore law and order.

What you are advocating is an armed insurrection.

At that point you become the enemy of America and everything it stands for.

The military swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. They will obey the lawful orders of the duly elected CinC to ensure that peace is restored."

And you WILL lose (rather quickly).

You think the CIChief has the balls to be bombing community centers, shopping malls, and govt buildings.? Aint' that easy --- EVEN WITH the armed superiority.. You have to SUBDUE an insurrection.. Before the 1st week ended the "duly constituted govt" might be as popular as say --- ole Assad in Syria.. Just sayin'.

Another Civil War wouldn't be as "clean" as the last one..

 

[there4eyeM]

It certainly wouldn't be as long.

For the most part people are sheep. They will believe what the media tells them for the most part.

Everyone else is supplying their bunkers.

Better to have a well armed and supplied bunker and not need it, than to need a well armed and supplied bunker and not have it.

It's hard to get an accurate count of "prepers" out there and militias.

My guess is there are quiet a few.

One of the "sister" sites to THIS site IS a "preper" site.

... or is that alarmist?
Even the "gay marriage" is aligning South vs. North...or no?

At the present time no, but I could see one getting kicked off. Ted Cruz (my candidate for President) just told the states to ignore the Supreme Court ruling. Meaning he wants the state to ignore a Federal law. Say the states listen and Federal comes in and tries to force compliance. The states still refuse and Fed comes in with more force. Could that kick off a civil war? Maybe.

It doesn't have to be gay marriage, it could be a host of issues: Gun Control, Abortion, Taxation, Federalism, illegal immigration etc.

By failing to call out the white supremacists and racists who were using the confederate flag for their vile agenda you surrendered control of it over to them.

Had you spoken out against them when they first began using it you might have a point.

But you didn't!

So now your silence is seen as condoning racism.

Any so-called insurrection would not last a week, imo.

I have no doubt that their neighbors would take the insurrectionists into their back yards, execute them, and bury them. All before LEO shows up.

The great American electorate is not going to put up with any such nonsense.

Civil war would be a horror for all. The left dreams of watching MSNBC and seeing Obama's Mighty Legions round up anyone not swearing a loyalty oath the party and machine gunning them, then running down to Whole Foods to buy a quiche. The right dreams of Rambo running through the woods defeating bumbling Obamabots who can't figure out how to chamber a round.

Neither vision is realistic. Real conflict will mean that goods and services stop, no food, no lights, no internet, no gay porn for the democrats, no NASCAR for the Republicans. Millions dead with an economy in shambles.

Not very pleasant.

Keep your eye on Greece. Everybody there got 85 dollars to live on for a month. They have NO guns but watch them. Here would be that PLUS guns.

True - 20 minutes after the military declined to intervene on your behalf, you dims would surrender.

Here is exactly what happened when armed white racists tried to overthrow the government of one of the small african states set up by the Apartheid regime in South Africa.

Since 75% of the gun owners in this country ARE Republicans just who do you figure will be going in the dirt?
