I think we actually are seeing a civil war in this nation. The left has always been ready to mobilize, using their 527 groups and pay per protest "volunters" to wage battles in the town square. However, the move by Obama to force us into a failing European style healthcare system at a time when the economy is depressed has caused a mobilization on the other side, and the TEA Party formed to do battle for the constitutionalists.
This has been a one sided fight for a long time, and now we are seeing battle lines being drawn. I don't think shots will be fired, but I do hope we are willing to not back down from changing course from where the left has taken us. I have been waiting for this to happen for a while now.
If Barry wins reelection, it will get worse, and I am afraid that things may happen that will result in violence. Passions are high, and let's face it, the left have been really bad winners, so I suspect things will get pushed to the edge very quickly, especially considering Barry will have no reason to seek the good will of the people to win another reelection.
