Thread: Texas judge warns of civil war if Obama is re-elected

Ditto the failure of a two party system,What america needs is a king and a queen that rule for the next 50 years.

That is terrible... A public official calling for a civil war... Maybe we should give him a free ticket to Syria to see how those turn out. Maybe he can pick up some tips and come back and tell us how great those civil wars go?

First off - where exactly do you want to go? To a developing nation? Unless you are highly educated that's about the only place that'll have you. Or do you want to go to a developed nation that's a part of the UN, has socialized medicine and strong federal programs? Because if you want to go to one of those nations, you better have something to offer, and you better be prepared to be even more frustrated by how the man does things there!

There is a reason why millions of people still want to come to America!!

Love it or change it I say! Don't think about running for Gods sake! We need as many smart people as we can in America to make it what it is. Sure some things have gone south... but that was under your watch! Your vote! Going out and killing your brother because you are pissed.... In America... or running away, is an asinine solution "TO ME." YMMV.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The only hope is in change. The moment the system looses it's willingness to change it takes the downhill path of dead empires.

You know what I don’t get? Why are you all allowing yourselves to be tools of the extremists and the political media? This is an election between two moderates. I don’t care who they align themselves with right now. The current political climate in the US is extremely polarized, yet two moderates are running for president. President Obama has infuriated his liberal base over the last four years, and Mitt Romney would do exactly the same thing to his base. If the tail end of the Tea Party swing is able to get Romney elected and give him majorities in Congress, not only will he fall short of the Conservatives’ expectations, but the momentum of public sentiment will swing and elect Democrats in the next election. If Obama wins re-election, he’ll be stuck with a conservative Congress. Despite a polarized climate, we’ll have nothing but moderate policy and/or deadlock for the next four years. So what’s everybody worked up about?

I hope this time around they have a different drink of choice. I'm thirsty and definitely ready for the manhattan party

Or even better, let's import them from Cognac, France.

Yep, America got screwed again! LOL


The biggest problems I see are an uneducated electorate, ignorant of their history and ignorant of how the constitution as well as the legislative process works. They sit on their butts and get everything they know from political ads and pundits . Over the years it has become far more polarized, there is no center anymore(which should be based on the constitution our founding document) only extreme leftism which involves ever increasing government and extreme rightism which involves ever increasing govt. I think the last two administrations are easy examples. Meanwhile as the pot is being stirred, the extreme emotionalism overcomes whatever rationality there was and one side blames the other for everything they both have done. Bill Clinton and the Anti Terrorism Act, Georgie Jr and the Patriot Act and now Obama and the NDAA. are very prime examples IMO. In the end all of this will lead to more confusion and anxiety with the public, both sides being played for fools but it will always be the other fools fault until the lid blows off the pot and there is no more room to compromise, who will win? The right wing nationalists or the left wing socialists, and wth is the difference.


The only winner I see is whoever does the mass manipulating and the government apparatus they control.

They chose that route before, where are they now?
