Conservatives want another Civil War, badly.

The first one was (mostly) over whether whites could keep dark brown people as property.

This next one would be over allowing other brown people to stay in the US.

And just WHO is "indifferent and hostile" towards working Americans?
How about those who willingly whore themselves out to the 1%?

Conservative Activist: Immigration Action Will Trigger 'Civil War'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 11/7/2014 11:55 am

Richard Viguerie, the renowned conservative campaign operative, is warning that President Obama’s stated plan to use executive action to relieve some undocumented immigrants of the threat of deportation may cause a civil war. Viguerie told WorldNetDaily yesterday that such a move “could ignite, quite frankly, a civil war across America against the Democratic Party,” which he says has become “an elite special interest party” seen as indifferent and hostile to working Americans.

Obviously it would be a dark time for America if they did that, but nobody should be deterred by such threats.

12. I dunno, what about "stand your ground"

Seems to only generate a not-guilty verdict if applied to well-to-do white (or sorta white -- G-Zim) guys.

Meanwhile, a (black) woman from Florida, Marissa Alexander, faces a mandatory 60 YEAR SENTENCE (basically life) for firing what amounts to a "warning shot" at her abusive husband and attempting to invoke "stand your ground" as a (rejected) defense!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marissa_Alexander_case

By the way... absolutely NO ONE was harmed by the gunshot, and Alexander's abusive husband has not been charged with anything whatsoever. Angela Corey, state prosecutor, is a filthy, worthless, racist piece of slime.

And AWGs (angry white guys) might very well get away with pulling a Zimmerman on "undesirables" who get "uppity" and don't toe the line.

Look for good old-fashioned lynch mobs on the horizon someday soon as well.

lives miserable. Don't be surprised to see bills that will try to wipe out the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

and there isn't any Law that's being broken by so doing?

6. Of course they do. They'd win this one.

Conservatives have something to fight for, and they stand together. Our side is a motley collection of those people who have been demonized by conservatives, and our strategy consists of drawing straws to see which faction of our side gets sacrificed to the wolves today. I'm under the impression that the average Democratic politician feels even less respect towards his supporters than the Republicans do for theirs. If it did come to war, the leadership of both Parties would be happier if the left was wiped out.

7. No war; could we just give them Texass and 3-4 other Dixie states?

AL, MS, SC, GA move them out of LA (food and music are too good to give away...)

Then build the fence they've always demanded...to keep THEM IN!

9. Um, Mr.Viguerie, *who* is hostile to working Americans?

Who has been spending the past forty years doing everything they can to destroy unions? Who is opposed to increases in the minimum wage and improved workplace safety? Who is fighting the ACA? Who is fighting environmental regulations that protect the soil, air, and water for us all? Who wants to gut Social Security and Medicare and cut off pensions? Who goes ballistic over the idea of poor people getting food stamps? The nerve of them, wanting to eat after they've worked their butts off all day. I think you read Charles Dickens and came away with the idea that he was describing some sort of utopia. Like Romney, you would visit one of those slave-labor factories in China and salivate. And while we're on that subject, take a good look at the stories about the pollution and myriad other problems in China caused by nineteenth-century-style policies. Move there, if you think that's so great -- just don't forget your gas mask.

11. Please, the idea that there's going to be a war is sheer lunacy.

People have lives, and though they may vote differently than us, they still have loved ones, they have assets they don't want to lose, and most of all they have a comfortable law and order. The LAST thing that's going to happen is armed conflict between political ideology.

The thing about Richard Viguerie and Rush Limbaugh, is at the end of the day after spewing their hatred, they go home to their families, and they depend on the government to keep them safe. If something were to threaten that, they'd be the loudest cheerleaders for government intervention you've ever seen.

imminent violence (speech not protected by the First Amendment). And WND also should probably get the same visit.
