Question

Is the 'United' States already on the long road to civil war? Will Rep. and Dem. fighting lead to unrest?

Answer 1

No. It's just politics.

Answer 2

No.

The Republicans have all the guns.

(hay just kidding, smile a little)

Answer 3

No for a couple of reasons.

First of all people today will not risk everyhting they have over a partisan debate. They will not go to war with each other in this day and age simply becausde of a heated argument.

Secondly only 1% of the entire population is in the military. There would need to be two seperate organized governments and they would have to enstate a draft to raise Armies to fight each other. This is not the same America it was back in the American Civil War times. Also whichever side had the current uS military fighting for it would easily decimate any start up militia or such kind of group.

Thirdly there are a lot of better  more effective ways in our system than war to get what you want or need.

Answer 4

With less than 1/4 of the population even showing up to the polls?

With "Republicans" and "Democrats" only making an appearance every four years?

With the state of Florida asking a supreme court judge to decide the election because so many people screwed up their votes?

The United states is in far more risk of ceasing to have actual elections at all than it is of civil unrest.

Answer 5

Judging from the discussions at my office, more people seem to get upset about the latest "American Idol" voting than anything else. What a sad commentary on our country. If our founding fathers saw us now, they would throw up their hands and say, "Why did we bother fighting the Brits?"

Answer 6

The greatest division that I see is in my own Democratic Party.

The radical extreme leftists of the 1060's have been trying to hijack the Democratic Party for years.

the radical extreme leftist of the 1960's discovered that they did not have the will or the organizing ability to start their own political party so they decided to hijack the Democratic Party and have been trying to convert the Democratic Party into a radical extreme left political party for years.

My grandfather served in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Administration and was one of the Architects of the New Deal.

My Grandfather would be horrified if he were alive today to see what the Democratic Party has become.

During the Roosevelt adminsistration the top goals were to make available adequate quantities of low cost energy, food and housing so that all working people could own a home in the suburbs with a yard wher children could play.

Adequate supplies of low cost gasoline to that people could drive to work, take their children to school and go on vacations to the Beach, to the mountains and other parts of the United States without breaking their budgets.

The radical extreme left that I see today here in the Silicon Valley hates us and hates children. The radical extreme left uses the dericive epither "urban sprawl" to describe our houses in the suburbs.

The radical extreme left says that there are too many of us and that we should not have children and that we should all live in high density high rise squirrel cages rather than in homes with yards in the suburbs.

Unfortunately Barack Obama is the candidate of the radical extreme left.

Barack Obama has been extremely vague on the details of the change that he has in store for us.

However based on my conversations with some of Barack Obama's supporters those changes include high density high rise squirrel cages for us to live in rather than homes with yards in the suburbs, and much higher gaoline prices to force us out of our cars and our homes in the suburbs and high density high rise squirrel cages whether we like it or not.

The goofy radical extreme left supporters expect the rest of us to vote for this clown, Barack Obama merely because he is registered as a member of the Democratc Party even though Barack Obama and his supporters do not support the traditional goals and values of the Democratic Party.

The radical extreme left have made what was once a wonderful party that supported the goals and aspirations of working people into a disgusting mess where I hear these radical extreme leftists who call themselves members of the Democratic Party refer to working people with the derisive term "hard hats"

the term "hard hats" was a derisive term dreamed up in the 1960's by extreme leftist to refer to construction workers who were members of Democratic Unions who had good paying jobs and supported their families and owned their own homes in the suburbs.

The radical extreme leftists that are attempting to hijack the Democratic Party are attempting to dismantle all of the great things that the Democratic Party has done for working people over the past 70 years.

The conflict that I see is those of us who support the right to have a family and raise children in a stable environment against the radical extreme left that hates the rest of us and says that we should not have children and should not raise families.

The radical extreme left has done everything that they possible can to make it extremely difficult for us to have families and raise our children.

We need to get the radical extreme left out of our lives and out of positions of decision making power.

If that means that those of us in the Democratc Party that support the right to have and raise a family must make an alliance with Republicans who agree with that right, then I say let us do that.

We must oppose the radical extreme left in any way that we can.
