No way.

It would work out as well as things did for Winston Smith. We have a better opiate for the masses than religion. We have TV.

No, people have no motivation for civil war unless they get hungry. Give them distractions and keep their bellies full and they will go along with anything.

yeap this is why. they do not care or just do not understand.

There is a reason all the laws are passing now. people just do not want/know how to do anything about it.

You would think with corparations being able to steal land for business people would be revolting. sadly they just do not care unless it effects them.

It is only a matter of time until Walmart tries to take land from the wrong group of people and they(the land owners) will take up arms. It will happen.

Nobody could have foreseen a civil war in Russia at the end of the Soviet era. Who would of thunk it? Half the old CCCP was up in arms, but you probably didn't know it because most of it was mentioned in small paragraphs in the American media. The Soviets had alot tighter reigns on the population than this or any other previous government. The catalyst for the unrest was hyperinflation which happened when all of the staple supplies (natural gas, petrol, food, toilet paper, etc.) of their economy suddenly became limited in sporadic cycles.

You know, you're right, the Libs wouldn't want to start a Civil War. In fact, when I think of a group of people willing to kill their fellow countrymen over a difference of political opinion, my first thought isn't of the liberals at all.

I guess... The real question is... If a war did break out. Would you go?

I guess it really depends on the issues. But I suppose I could kill a few christains for the sake of science as I was a sharp shooter....

Topic Summary: in your lifetime?

With all the contraversy over politics, war, religion, and oil, and all the lies made by the current administration, do you think that civil unrest could happen and lead to a civil war (people vs. state) in America in your lifetime?

With each new law passed stripping the Constitution, yes I beleieve the U.S. will see a Revolution in it's borders very soon.

That is why the Republicans are working so hard to ban citizens from owning guns.

Wow. When did the Republicans start trying to take guns away? Last I heard, it was the Democrats.

Oh wait. I'm sorry, I didn't realize who wrote that post. Nevermind.
