Is there a Civil War coming to America?

Is there a Civil War coming to America?

PostBy: mr1precision On: Wed Dec 30, 2009 2:06 pm

Every day I read political posts on this forum and realize the deep split in this counrty. In my lifetime I cant remember such a stark difference in opinions. I can't help thinking that this could happen fairly soon. I hope I'm wrong but this clip supports my concerns.

The country is bankrupt, it won't be long before energy and food prices begin to 'necessarily skyrocket'.

That will make for some interesting times, the L.A. riots in 93' will look like a Sunday picnic.

Did you read about Arrow Trucking on Dec 24th?

If it comes I'm moving to Pottsville where I can live in a shack in the woods and dig anthracite right out of the ground.

I hope and pray that if worse comes to worse, it will start with a state that has it's sh#& together such as Texas. Texas has a low unemployment and has a six billion dollar SURPLUS!!!!! not a deficit a surplus. The federal govt. will push a little too hard and it will break the camels back. Then one of the thirteen states that are financially RESPONSIBLE will start a succession agreement. Why should the people of Oklahoma have to pay for the excesses of California? Or even Pennsylvania?

A bit unlikley. I also do NOT think our military is populated by a bunch of sycophants (did I spell that right? ) and many would not participate on firing on US citizens. THEY actually recognize they have a loyalty to defend the constitution from foes both foreign AND domestic and right now I'm more concerned with the putzes in washington who are damaging this country more than losing an airline or two.

One thing that makes me wonder is, what did the Oath Keepers know that prompted them to unite? What exactly do they know?

I had a conversation with the chief of police for the Susquehanna RR a few weeks ago. Part of the disscussion was about the oath keepers. There are about 25,000 military that would consider firing on American citizens. The soldiers have undergone training on how to deal with rioting Americans. It sounds frightening, but they have had these plans in place for a while.

Whatever is coming is already here and has been since before the colonies became a nation. Things will have to go a very long way downhill before there will be any shooting, if it gets that far the army will be shooting from our side more than likely.

What was it the General in Dr. Strangelove said? They are trying to relieve us of our precious bodily fluids?

Wasn't it GWB that started NorthCom? The first time in history we've had military on duty specifically for use in the US?

And if that doesn't work, BHO just gave Interpol the power to do whatever it wants and be exempt from the laws of this country.

Make of it what you will.....

I wouldn`t be so worried about the military, it would be blackwater & the rest of the mercs. that are supplamenting our military that I would watch out for. Who do you think the recent non-military were that just got killed on an Afgan military base, these people do anything for money & seemingly have more power than our own military.
