The Next American Civil War
J.D. Longstreet, Canada Free PRess
“Tyrants preserve themselves by sowing fear and mistrust among the citizens by means of spies, by distracting them with foreign wars, by eliminating men of spirit who might lead a revolution, by humbling the people, and making them incapable of decisive action…” ... Aristotle
You’d think ole “Ari” might have been peering through some sort of cosmic window into modern day America some 2300 years ago with comments such as those above.
There’s another way to look at it, as well. One can grudgingly admit that the Greeks, of 2300 years ago, were smarter than modern Americans. In my estimation—you’d be right. So, I tend to go with the latter explanation.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Re: The Next American Civil War
To the folks on the left, the gun grabbers, if there is any doubt in your minds that Americans will defend their constitutional rights to the death, simply drive across the Lincoln Bridge and take a long look at row after row of white grave markers at Arlington National Cemetery. As you gaze upon that place of honor, remember, we are the sons, grandsons, and great-grand sons of the men lying there. We are no less inspired than they to defend the constitution against all enemies—domestic and foreign.
Nice article.

Re: The Next American Civil War
I never considered myself to be a conspiracy theorist. I have not held in high esteem those who bring forth tin foil hat style arguments but I'm beginning to slip into that abyss.
The President has done a great job of dividing the GOP over the fiscal cliff crisis. I'm beginning to wonder if the idea behind the gun grabbing isn't intended to do the same with the American public. The choice seems to be 1) become completely subservient or 2) become an outlaw. The tin foil hat part of my thinking believes that the fusion centers, detention centers, etc are being designed to deal with the 2nd group. There is no question at all in my mind that if Feinstein and the others had their way, we would be part of a world government. The real open question is to whether they have enough of the American populace sufficiently conditioned to accept that result. Of course, it is going to take a financial collapse to actually bring this direction to fruition but I fear that we are much closer to that than all of the Obama groupies believe.
The conspiracy theory believer part of me believes that that Sandy Hook shooting provided the catalyst for reinstating the gun ban rhetoric. Armed resistance to gun bans would be the catalyst and the excuse for an immediate transition to marshal law. There is no hiding the fact that our President believes it would be easier to govern like the Chinese Communists or Chavez and that he would seize the moment to try to accomplish those results.
Pardon me - I'm now busy opening my next king sized tin foil package.

I highly doubt anything would happen. People will be more than happy to turn in their guns - look at England and Australia.
Please help the wounded store owner who fought off 3 robbers. He doesn't have medical insurance.

Re: The Next American Civil War
will you turn your guns in, or register them - if you had any? I know I wouldn't, if I had any.

'they' already know what I own - everything i own. 'they' think what is mine belongs to 'them'. I agree - 'they' can't have it.

Until 2/3rd of the States ratify a change in the 2A, they aren't taking anything away from me or my family that the constitution grants me to keep.
