Not only that, but the government would crush any opposition easily. [/quote] I can't fully agree. Americans like any other animal backed into a corner, will fight with everything they have to survive. The military will NOT kill Americans...Because THEY are Americans too. Enlisted folks take the Constitution more seriously then anybody anywhere...We can see this in the past election when the majority of donated monies went to the Ron Paul campaign. The only real weapon the Gov't has is the domestic police forces. Police as a group, are some of the most unenlightened individuals you'll ever meet in this country. They are programmed robots who fear the loss of their jobs which takes care of their families...So they obey orders. American soldiers have a history of disobeying orders from superiors when morals are questioned. I believe it was less than 5% of the population that drove England out in the Revolutionary War. We were facing better equipped men who were trained far better in warfare. You know what won us our freedom then... Today will be no different. Drones can be hacked, internet cannot be shut off (communications helped Egypt), and we as a country are creative, crafty, and fucking nuts. The government wouldn't be going through gun control if it knew it could take us anyways...I have faith in my countrymen. There are a LOT of pissed off rednecks who'll die before giving up their arms. No country can take us...We could barely take Iraq and Afghanistan if at all..It took us 8 years and trillions of dollars to figure out we can't take over the world like we think we can. If there is a civil war, mark my words China and Russia will help us. We are fine. Checks and balances my friend. Side-note* - Our Gov't has never attacked a nuclear power. Saddam is a jerk to his people so we killed him...Gadhafi was a "jerk" to his people so we killed him...North Korea starves its' people but we keep sending them fucking rice! [/quote] Very well said. You are absolutely right about our military would never kill Americans. Because most of the military are conservative good ol boys. [/quote] and cops would never shoot peoples dogs while in their yards. If you think that a significant proportion wont do what theyre told for a paycheck you seriously havent been paying attention. In a group, most all will defer to their boss and their feeding their wifey and chirrin. It doesnt take many people to target the homes with drones from the comfort of some remote base, especially if it saves their own assets [/quote] Then I guess we agree to disagree eh. [/quote] That would be as usual. Modern technology allows a very small cadre of true believers to control the society any damned way they want. And they want. It's about getting rid of the evidence of wholesale theft and those who would want revenge [/quote] Ok, now you lost me... [/quote] you must be a practitioner of some sort of uncertainty principle... [/quote] Ok... [/quote]

Some have said my warnings about a coming civil war between makers and takers are exaggerated.
It’s true that Argentina’s politicians have been waging class warfare since Juan and Eva Peron–and they aren’t fazed when it turns bloody. Obama and the Democrats are relative newcomers to the game. But Argentina reveals who really suffers when those who create a nation’s wealth get mugged by those who spend it–as just happened this week in Washington.
It’s the poor and the middle class, the very ones big government says it’s trying to protect.
...
Far from adding to people’s standard of living, government is the number one cause of poverty in this country. It forces those who depend on its largesse to live hand to mouth, with no time or money to plan for the future. They become unable to fend for themselves---and increasingly resentful of those who can.
...
When the economy tanks and the government checks have to shrink, their only alternative is to take to the streets.
That’s what happening in Argentina, and in Greece; and that’s where the growth of government is taking us here, as this current budget deal increases handouts–and more and more Americans are finding that an unemployment or Social Security disability check is their only life line.
