Re: America the Police State
How bad were things in the summer of 1859? The North was prosperous the South had plenty. Immigrants were pouring in because jobs and work was plentiful. But… Slave states had vowed that if Lincoln were elected president they would split from the Union and did so. The Civil war was about ideologies not how ‘Bad’ things were.
Look at us now things aren’t bad but we have huge Ideological differences The Liberal side is in disarray at the moment but you can see signs they are fighting back. Some are convinced that only civil war or revolution will help their cause. ELF just made another terrorist attack and we can expect more from them. The liberal media keep pounding that Iraq is wrong, wrong, wrong In spite of the success that is taking place there. Howard Dean is Democratic party Chairman. And the liberals are trying to get their views taken as gospel. And it looks like they are getting their propaganda more and more accepted. And you can bet that the Republicans are going to do their utmost to get and keep power so you have a powder keg that can be torched off.
Titor claims that this Civil war slowly gets started and like the events leading up to the Civil war it slowly drew everyone into the conflict. All I am after is a rational discussion about the possibilities Titor suggests and so far as I can tell the news articles supports his out look and predictions.
And just what do you think the will of the people is that we are almost split 50 50?
