Do YOU Fear Obama?

[Ranger]

This has been a VERY interesting thread to read, it really has. Personally, I'm so far right I'm about to swing left, so I have a very biased view if things but there is one thing I believe is quite certain, and I have believed this for a very long time, and that is that civil war will be upon us again. We are in a catch 22 with Obama. First off, let me state without pause, that I am not FOR a civil war or any violence against the leader of the free world - no matter how much I disagree or dislike him - it shames our country. That being said, there are far too many factors going on here. For instance, if someone were to kill Obama then we have the makings for a civil war in that the black population would, I believe, rise up in violence against whites - then whites against blacks. Civil war. If someone doesn't kill Obama then we have the status quo, and now we have this country bitterly divided between the Obama lovers and Obama haters (and more so, republicans vs democrats). Look at these "town hall" meetings, showing that the conservative voice is FINALLY getting out there - we have taken it in the ear too long and are tiring of the establishment. If we don't find a resolution then we could easily end up in civil war, if for no other reason than many of the reasons stated in this thread.

I don't want a civil war. While some may see this as a cleansing of our government (and even our founding fathers alluded to this fact), it would rip our country into two or more smaller parts (can anyone say Czechoslovakia?) and end with the death of many thousands of Americans. Just because I don't WANT a war, doesn't mean I won't prepare for one in case everything goes to hell fast.

Of course I don't know what will happen and can hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I won't stand idly by and watch it happen, I will use every LEGAL means at my disposal to voice my dissent against this tyrant and his policies and can only hope that is enough. He will come for my guns, you can guarantee that my friends, and I will not go quietly.

So much hatred of Obama is very much like the hatred of Bush. I liked Bush, the first term, and thought he was a terrible leader the second term. I like HIM as a man, but as a president he left something to be desired. My own beloved party has gotten out of control, trying so hard to be "moderate" and instituting leftist policies just to appear middle of the road - they have abandoned their principals and have left me with a bitter taste for my party.

We have gone in this country from a position of not agreeing with the opposing party to outright hatred of the opposing party. This gets worse and wore each year and it will come to blows before it's over. Whether or not Obama ruins this country is ALMOST besides the point, we are doing it without him. I'm guilty of this, I freely admit it, I have now gotten to the point that I refuse to associate with a liberal because I detest them and their love of this dictator they elected as well as their outright hatred of the country I love.

Anyway, I figured I would use this as a soapbox to vent . I'm sure many of you may not agree with my standpoints, but this is how I see things and it's actually nice to put them down every once in a while (gotta LOVE America).

Oh, and God Bless the U.S.A!!!!!

Nice, however... I'm not necessarilly interested in lasting the longest per se. I am interested in freedom and liberty and all those good things! Using the Terminator movies as an example: I don't want to "survive" the rise of the machines. I want to prevent it! Surviving the government's attacks on freedom does not look like very much fun... I would much rather prevent those attacks!

But here's something to chew on... When the government has "crossed the line" and "gone too far", I will take up my gun and fight back. But fighting as an individual will just get me jailed or killed. Everyone draws the line at a different level. Where is that line for you? How can we coordinate a counter-attack to defend the constitution if we cannot coordinate at all?

ETA (Edited to Add): ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!

Do not worry.
Most people of this country are ingrained with what we believe in, the rights we have or want and will fight for to keep. those are the people who read the constitution for what it is, not try to interpret it for what they want it to be.
You will see great leaders, great people, known people take a stand, the groups will follow. All you can do is be ready and watch for the signal. you will know what it is when you see it.

i'm just afraid that we won't know it until it's too late...

It may not be a signal fire but there will be a lot of smoke if the health care plan and cap and trade go through. IF this happens... I feel that we are sitting on the edge of a blade and at this point it's hard to tell which side we will fall on.

Compliance or Rebellion?

Did the cap and tax scam pass? Why do I feel a little more opressed everytime a democrap law gets passed and I get a huge feeling of relief when one of their laws don't get passed or sunsets?

[MichiganMilitia]

Compliance or Rebellion?

I think I know which side I will be on...

An interesting question just came into my mind...

What defines a rebellion, as opposed to a civil war? And won't the government and mass media outlets just call it domestic terrorism?

In my mind, a rebellion is a group of citizens that stand up to the government while civil war is a country divided and duking it out to settle their differences. And, yes, I think that the media ALREADY considers us domestic terrorists with itchy trigger fingers just counting the seconds until we get to kill someone, especially a gument someone.

[RRD3]

Yea.... rebellion is the majority of of the citizens against their government verses a civil war which is a country divided.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA


Dear President Obama:

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived
and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. You scare me
because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy
League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible
signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military
experience, thus don't understand it at its core.

You scare me because you lack humility and 'class',
always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half your life you have
aligned yourself withradical extremists who hate
America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the
'blame America ' crowd
and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a
European style country
where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our health care
system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to
responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American
capitalist goose that
lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of
living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use
'extortion' tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from
challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even
consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both
omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on
everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the
Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Relllys and Becks who offer opposing,
conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I
will probably not
feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

TRUE - CHECK: http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/youscareme.asp

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never
acknowledged it. Big
surprise. Since it hit the internet, however, it has had
over 500,000 hits.
Keep it going. All that is necessary for evil to succeed is
that good men do
nothing. It's happening right now.
