CSM: "US 'civil war' fears abound."

"The UN will not 'mess with Texas,' Martin Nesirky, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s spokesman, tells Reuters."

Well, that's reassuring, coming as it does from that paragon of rectitude, the United Nations. Purty smart on their part, I'd say.

The author of the article, however, makes this statement:

Today’s stakes, though substantial, are not of civil-war caliber. Whether Obama or Romney is elected in November, chances are great that the workings of the Constitution will temper any revolutionary strains, as it has since the end of the Civil War.

This is whistling past the graveyard of history, pure and simple. What if, for example, the election is stolen, or perceived to be stolen?

The damage that has been done to the perceived legitimacy of the federal government by this administration is greater than any other time in history, save in the run-up to the War Between the States, and probably even then. The Gunwalker Scandal is only a small part of that. Does the author think that just because someone declares the election to have been "fair" or the Supreme Court votes 5-4 that something is "legal" when it is blatantly unconstitutional on its face will be meekly accepted? Does he think people will merely roll over for more depredations upon their liberty and property?

This Christian Science Monitor reporter doesn't get around much, does he?

We are closer to civil war right now than at any time since 1861. Believe it.

Anonymous said...: I'v seen this coming for years,I'v been called a fearmonger and much worse. But anyone with eyes and a working brain can see this coming now. At this point I don't belive that the government will allow peacefull change,and I dread war. We are headed for a bloodbath. The only way to avert it is to roll the US back to pre 1900 law, and the fed-nazis are never gonna' do that. I truly beleve that the scum in DC WANTS civil war.; August 28, 2012 at 9:27 AM
WarriorClass III said...: There's no stopping a civil war who's time has come. In fact, it has already started to go hot and the Obama supporters have fired the first shots. What do you think all those "flash mobs" are about?

The Republican leaders have sided with the Big Government crowd with further fraud in their primary as they have done previously with the diebold voting machines overwhelmingly supporting McCain in 2008 and now Romney in 2012.

Even Romney supports can only find one reason to vote for him, - to get rid of Obama. That's not much of an endorsement.

Add to that the Government debt bubble which is about to pop and you will see Government handouts shrivel to nothing and Taxes more than doubled to pay interest on the debt to the banking cartel.

The writing's on the wall, folks.

Judgement Comes said...: Let's see...We have drones deployed...we have troops trained and deployed explicity for domestic 'unrest'...we have a chief executive who is a clear and present danger to the sovreignty of the U.S. ... We have multiple domestic 'law enforcement' organizations who are issuing RFPs for over a billion rounds of ammunition for distribution across the country. Local law enforcement is better equipped than most third-world armies. We have a completely corrupt governing body in charge. We have a media that is completely incapable of clear and factual reporting. What could possible go wrong?; August 29, 2012 at 2:05 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
