I have read stuff about another Civil War in America. How would it start?

All Civil Wars begin with robberies, murders and violence, resulting a complete devastation and pauperization. So, you'd better do not start playing these games.

Civil War, race/social issues war, same thing. This type of talk is inflammatory to those that aren't ok. Much like ISIS recruitment, IMO. Most read, think 'huh?' or 'how assinine' or just ignore. Then there's the one...

Do you think the "one" was thinking he would start a true civil war with his actions?

Only if you believe what he wrote. Do you think those joining ISIS see it realistically?

Perianne. Honestly. Just look around. In many ways...it already has started. Everybody wants to just laugh at the thought, or pretend it can't happen because AMERICA IS TOO RICH, and TOO BIG for something like that to happen. But...it doesn't have to be Obvious...like Balu...the propaganda expert is successfully trying to convince us here.
We are well on our way. Combine all of the symptoms....Anti-military, govt control over healthcare, failing financials...Banks being closed by govt, govt telling us as citizens what to eat, where to live, what we can earn, where they say we can work, taxing every aspect of our life.
Think about it. How comfortable are we these days? Can we honestly GO ANYWHERE without wondering whether we will be safe?
If you drive. How many people on the highways, and streets actually pay attention to the laws, signs, lights, or speeds?
We are living under the starting grounds of near anarchy. If anyone doubts that. How comfortable would ANYONE BE...walking through Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, or even LA in known, gang areas at night?
Why does it have to be limited to those area's?
Be honest. Obama and company have happily DESTROYED this nation.

It will start when we are attacked from without, and those of us with some 'nads say "enough" while the weak whimper and hide in their inner city tenements. When it comes down to action time, all they want to do is flap their gums when they should be learning to use GUNS.

It'll happen. The 1820s and the late 1850s were no worse politically than we are now.

And you know what started all this hateful shit? The Dems trying to pin Iran-Contra on Reagan and one badass Marine who said "f*ck you, I ain't saying shit".

[red state]

Since the 60's, we've been under attack from those who rule over Balu. They even bragged about destroying us without firing a single shot. What they didn't count on, however, was a REAGAN who successfully dealt THEM a blow right out of the blues. Things have gone back to "normal" since then and we're now seeing the final stages. Next stop.....the $#!T hittin' the fan!!! Their contempt has now sprouted wings and they boldly walk right over us and tromp on the Constitution (quite literally in some cases).

Yeah...when we need an OLIVER NORTH, WEST or WASHINGTON, they're gonna lump in a TRUMP, a Rubio or Walker. Heck, I liked Cruz OK but I'd lump him in with the others now. Give me a TREY GOWDY over the last four mentioned. Man, what a ticket NORTH & WEST would make. Both do what is best for others (REGARDLESS) of what is good for them.

Gunny, you are on a role today...to bad I can't agree with you more often. If only you were more conservative I might even like you.

Correction, the Cold War started circa 1949. We just weren't alive yet.

Putin is writing checks his ass can't cash. All we need is a CinC with some balls and he's going down. And yeah, you're right. As long as whimpy-doodle is CinC, they can do what they want.

As an aside, all this stir the left made over Iran-Contra ..... didn't their fearful leader just swap 5 hardened criminals for one traitor?

Indeed. Like calling for another Civil War or race war. Not sensible. There were too many good men on both sides that lost their lives in the bloodiest war this country has ever seen. The scars are with us today.

The problem is our government officials and the media stir this crap. These idiots who won't win a war outside the US are more than willing to wage one within. Theey keep us so distracted with petty crap that doesn't mean a thing, and people buy off on it. They've blamed everything for this murder spree but the guy who did it.

It will start when those ignorant enough to still believe in racial inequality spend enough time looking for it that they finally find it.

The comparisons with ISIS are valid. If you read the stories of the converts, and read the militant hate sites themselves, they appeal to the downtrodden and feeble-minded few who need a cause to believe it. The sites fan the flames of hate and ties them to despair and disenfranchisement. Young people looking a cause are led to believe them.

There is little difference between racial and religious hatred. Both use the past to dictate the present. They create a caste system where all those who fail to meet their standards are inferior. They use fear to create fear.

I have read militant Islamic sites. I have read vintage Nazi propaganda. I have read Stormfront and its ilk. There is little difference between them. Hatred is hatred.

I'd go for Trey Gowdy. He used to be a DA in SC. IIRC, he was the DA in the Susan Smith case.

The problem with lumping these goofs together is they're destroying each other, and the GOP. They're giving the Dems every bit of ammo they need without them having to say a word.

I actually like Walker and Bush in this election, unless the guy with the "yaut" (spelled "fishing boat") from Miami comes up with something.
