I am always amused over the talk of civil war in US. Pray tell, over what issue is the nation going to be divided asunder and cause brother to take up arms against brother?

I don’t know about brother against brother, but I can certainly envision a war of race against race; the uneducated unemployed underbelly of American society who will soon be totally disinherited from their welfare-sponsored lifestyles vs. who-ever still has a job and a car and a house. Statistically, it seems to me that the unemployed and soon-to-be-unemployed public service workers and union members and teachers have got to be reaching about 50%.

Some place along the way, I read that the tipping point for a religion to take over a society is 10%; that when you have 1 in ten who are that religion or belief then it assumes enough strength to be a major player and decision-maker for everyone else. We’re already at 10% unemployment officially and many more than that if you count the people who have quit looking or who were born into a mindset of living on the government dole. What happens if we add another 10% or 20% when the Department of Education is defunded and the IRS and its reams of rules are cast out for a straight percentage tax, and we build a fence along the border and fire all the different government workers who cater to Spanish-speaking clients?

And, once again I shall ask, what race are union members and government employees? We don’t know because if it’s ever been totalled up, it’s a *very* carefully kept secret. But you can sort of get a clue just by looking at pictures of crowds at SEIU meetings, and who is behind the counter of whatever government counter you’re having to belly up to, trying to be a good citizen. Increasingly, I’m pessimistic that we’ll make it through the upcoming tectonic shift without blood being shed, streets being burned, and looting and theft becoming a daily occurance.

After all, it *is* Darwinian that if an entity can’t support itself for whatever reason, it will become dead.
