Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
[link to www.nationaljournal.com]

As the clock ticks down toward a possible government shutdown, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, isn't holding back.

On the Senate floor before 10 a.m. Friday, the senator gave a speech describing how American politics have reached the level at which "a small group of willful men and women who have a certain ideology"—read: the tea party and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas—have been able to take over the congressional budget debate in the last week. "Since they can't get their way," Harkin said, "they're going to create this confusion and discourse and hope that the public will be so mixed up in who is to blame for this, that they'll blame both sides."

This isn't just congressional business as usual, Harkin said. It's much, much more dire:

It's dangerous. It's very dangerous. I believe, Mr. President, we are at one of the most dangerous points in our history right now. Every bit as dangerous as the break-up of the Union before the Civil War.

Looks like it really is about to go down. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

Re: Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
I don't want civil war (or any war for that matter). I am convinced that the system will not change through politics though. The government has created great divides in our society on multiple levels. The biggest divide which I think will be the breaking point is those who work and pay and those who do not work and get from the government.

Read the article.. He's a moron and trying to rally support for "his" team.

It's all a game.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

It's their fault.

And before anyone tries to say it's both of their faults (to which I would agree to a point), it must be clearly stated that "Conservatives" that vote for war and all this other liberal bullshit are not Conservatives at all - they themselves are libtards.

Re: Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
Americans Sharply Divided Over Repealing Obamacare
49 percent of Americans said Congress should keep the program because of the expanded insurance coverage it provides, while 44 percent said it should be repealed because it is too costly.
A majority of men, 51 percent, are in favor of repeal. But 55 percent of women say the law should remain in place. A narrow majority of whites, 51 percent, favor repeal while 62 percent of nonwhites would rather the law stay in place.

Re: Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
there will be no war, they have 2 billion bullets, run
 Quoting: chipg


They don't have anywhere near enough trigger fingers. The largest "standing" (per se) armed force on the planet is the American citizenry. They may have us outgunned (not even sure if that's true) or out bulletted (which won't matter because you have to fire them for them to be of any use), but we've got them outmanned by several orders of magnitude.

Don't run - no, instead Stand Your Ground, and you'll see THEM run!

This is what I was going to post. If it gets that far it will be a revolution against the government not in-fighting between Americans.
Unfortunately what will most likely happen is just when the damn is about to burst tptb will send in a savior or saviors to quell the storm. Americans will think they narrowly escaped catastrophe but in reality it will be a New Order out of Chaos.

Re: Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
Just according to the script. I think the Cruz filibuster will be blamed for not allowing Congress to "fix" things or "prevent" the coming economic disaster. Gotta have a scapegoat so the sheeple think the blood isn't on their bought-and-paid-for hands (even though it is).

I think it might be appropriate here to dust off a related thread I started back in July.

Thread: Dear Government, Without OUR Constitution, You Are Nothing But Violent Thieves Fit To Be Hung From Trees!

It points to an article I enjoyed off-site that is mainly an open letter/warning to Obama and many others.

We have a two-party system that is in cahoots with one another.

Cruz and friends aren't playing the game right. So the institution will portray them as "dangerous", "reckless", "crazy".

There IS no way to play the game so you don't get portrayed as "dangerous", "reckless", or "crazy". Fortunately, "how they are portrayed" isn't the goal, i.e. this isn't about "image management".

That's analogous to the fox blaming the hens for being eaten by the fox.

Democrats can't debate the issues, because they know they'd lose. All they have in their limp bag of tricks is childish name calling and character assassination.

Back in the day they'd all be tarred & feathered

Re: Senator says US is on verge of Civil War
Civil War won't happen yet!! Not until the banks close, and the people are hungry and frustrated and know that their government has been robbing them and cheating them all this time. Not until they know that the International Bankers have also been robbing them all the time. Not until they realize that they don't matter anymore and their families are in grave jeopardy. Not until they know that President Obama's Administration was the worse ever; and why did they elect him twice. Actually, I still contend that Obama won the last election through massive voter fraud. However, Obama had done such a great job in destroying America economically, that his Puppet Masters had to have him back for another evil and fraudulent term.

But in the end; they will all wind up in the worst parts of hell fire and brimstone imaginable. As their lord Satan is defeated and his fallen angels conquered; and Satan's antichrist beast leader is thrown with him, into the bottomless pit; where their tormenting's will be hundreds of times greater than the most wicked people on the planet!!
