Reply #25: I really think we are going to have to have a civil war. [View All]

I don't want it, but it seems like it's getting hopeless for us to try to hold our country together under the present constitution while the neo-cons systematically destroy it. Hopefully, it can be a war of resistance rather than a war with guns. I think secession of the blue states is in order and that we need to form a new democratic government as a antidote to the war-mongering corporate America we have now.

As a model, I can offer post-war German which was split into east Germany and West Germany. Liberal West Germany prospered under the occumpation of the allies while East Germany fell into poverty and totalitarianism as a client state of Soviet Russia. East Germans risked their lives to escape into West Germany during that period.

When the Berlin wall fell no one knew exactly how bad things had been in East Germany until then. Rebuilding East German after the reunification almost broke the West German economy. I think if we split into two countries, there will be parallels in history here. We will also need some countries in support of our backs to hold Christo-fascist America at bay. I don't think this will be difficult since no one backs Bush in the world other than soon to be British ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Okay, got my asbestos suit on. Flame away.
