want civil war, or believe we will have one?

the only war americans need to be fighting is the one against the billionaire oppressors and their enablers in washington. there needs to be rivers of blood on the senate floor. there needs to be lobbyists hanging upside down, half naked from gas station canopies with their faces beaten into bloody unrecognizable pulps.

but it will never happen. americans are apathetic towards law enforcement habitually murdering innocent people without warning - often in their own homes - and getting away with it. apathetic towards the upper crust living lives of unimaginable grandeur and with more wealth than entire regions of the world, while they struggle with the most basic necessities and lack enough in savings to afford a single $500 emergency expense

if that's not enough, then i struggle to guess what is. the average joes of red and blue states have more in common than they realize. left wing, right wing, who gives a s**t, it's still the same damn bird and that bird is gravely ill... and if they don't learn to get along it won't be able to fly at all on top of that.

Matthew, the Apostle wrote:
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.  These things must happen, but the end is still to come.  Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.


-- Matthew 24:6-7 (NIV)

This isn't a news website, it's a right wing conspiracy place.

Thus the Biblical reference. It seems that "a lot" of right-wing conspiracy nutters are also fundamentalist Christians -- they will believe any gloom-and-doom predictions as long as they line up with Biblical prophesy.

The left passes laws making it legal and ok for police to murder people In their own homes. Then they complain it happens. Or rather it happens to people they like while they wanted it to happen to those they dislike only

I don’t want a war, will one happen? Yes and unfortunately it’s needed. The founders knew this tree of liberty needs refreshed every so often.
If they were alive today they’d form a second revolution. Our government would ironically brand our founders traitors and history would repeat. We’ve become the very government they fought against.

Also not a call to violence. I don’t do violence unless attacked. But an American spring isn’t out of the question. I think we’ve become too divided and too different with some wanting a police state dictatorship and others wanting to be like the founders wanted. Such opposing views can’t both exist together. So i dont know what will happen and it’s scary.

Take buddy ranch.whar if the government hadn’t backed down. What if they’d got in force. Lost hundreds killed hundreds. Would it been the second battle of Lexington and Concord, this starting the civil war, or revolution as the other side sees it.

Probably while the government backed down. They didn’t want a battle with battle harden combat veterans.

"Pruning Back the Tree of Liberty" does have a nice ring to it, eh?

Just hope that the pruning isn't done in a manner resembling a Beavis and Butthead episode.

America is so divided and it started under Obama.

When tensions are high all it takes is a spark.
I don’t think many other nations who had civil wars thought it’d happen either.

Have you never heard of the Civil War? (Hint: People who still believe in the Confederacy might still call it the "War of Northern Agression".) Slave States versus Free States? Brother against brother? Blue versus Grey?

No wonder half of America hates their only black president, and the other half wishes him back.

Then the problem is with people such as yourself asserting that your views are incompatible with others' views. It's not strictly one party or the other that's capable of following the constitution, that's an individual responsibility & I don't think you're upholding it by saying your way of life is mutually exclusive towards liberals whose same rights are guaranteed by THE SAME CONSTITUTION.

WE KNOW YOU LIKE GUNS. TRY LIFE, LIBERTY & HAPPINESS SOMETIME.
