Why a new civil war is inevitable in Amerikkka
For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
Hosea 8:7
A new civil war, actually more of a civil war/revolution hybrid, is inevitable due to a confluence of trends culminating in a perfect storm. Cointellpro hacks and Echelon spiderbots: clearly understand this, I am neither calling for it, nor do I advocate violence (in spite of the horrific violence that undergirds the history and contemporary reality of Amerikkkan state power). Indeed, in the course of the coming turmoil, many people who don't deserve to will suffer - although of course many people who deserve to meet justice will instead grow rich in safety. And the end result is likely to be the replacement of one set of corrupt elites with another, as has happened with every revolution - sorry doctrainaire revolutionary socialists (and shallow enthusiasts of the American revolution). Nevertheless, when one studies the assembled evidence from an intellectually honest, historical materialist point of view, it seems to be coming soon, sure as the sun sets each day.
The biggest reason why is probably because the "right" (what do labels really mean - virtually nothing at this point, with both parties clamoring to execute the wishes of the same military-industrial complex Board of Directors, fused together in perpetual wargasm), as it clawed its way back to power since Watergate (in what, tactically, was truly a masterful long march through the institutions), focused their pitch to the fuck-kill-eat lizard brain part of the brain. Actually, not even the brain - in human beings, rather, it is the brain stem. This meant the use of image and sound bites appealing to emotion over critical reason, in fact suffocating critical reason, a course of action made decidely easier by the rise of a virulently anti-science/anti-reason, reactionary, jingoistic, bible-thumping evangelical fundamentalist christianity (who know nothing whatsoever of Jesus' message as the prince of peace) as the handmaiden to "right-wing" power and the wholesale collapse of public education, which has raised two generations of selfish, consumerist, know-nothing zombies.
In cultivating this obese, brain-dead horde of sheeple clamoring to trade the achingly beautiful evolutionary miracle of reason and consciousness for blind submission to authoritarian reactionaries, the scumfucking "leaders" were especially fond of "fetishizing violence as a token of moral toughness" (nice wording, posted by Lemon Merengue at Poor Man). The phrases below are merely a few of the choicest morsels in this gluttonous bloodfeast of hate.
Unfortunately, the unstoppable force of a vast pool of willfully ignorant morons slavishly devoted to authority figures who eat their substance while peddling them filthy hateful lies, who have a bottomless capacity for self-delusion and cognitive dissonance (which by all laws of physics should have already made their heads explode long ago) are about to be confronted by the immovable object of Reality: Amerikkka's full-blown, permanent economic collapse, possibly intensified by the effects of 50% of Americans finally (with soul-numbingly painful slowness) realizing that Amerikkka's military imperialism is anti-future, anti-human and anti-planet (to say nothing of financially unaffordable) and perhaps the karmic hammer of Peak Oil dropping down (although more on my agnoticism regarding Peak Oil later).
In other words, when the shit hits the fan, the knuckle-dragging dittoheads, freepers and other assorted holy rollers are going to blame anyone their vaunted "leaders" tell them to blame as long as it helps prevent them from blaming themselves, their venal RepubliCrat war pig politicians, 115 years of raw military imperialism, and the karmic baggage associated with being a nation built on genocide, land theft, and slavery of a scale never seen before in human history. When the unwelcome effects of Reality begin to intrude on their beloved Freedom - which is nothing more or less than the "freedom" to watch cable TV, drink beer, shop at Wal Mart and worship celebrities in an undisturbed solipsistic haze while the rich and powerful that they adore so much lie to, murder and steal from them - they are basically going to flip out and engage in the violence for which they have been primed for so long.
While this may give them some of the first exercise they have experienced since high school, it won't be healthy. Running down crosses at Camp Casey is just one of the opening shots.

We’re going to keep building the party until we’re hunting Democrats with dogs.

I tell people don’t kill all the liberals. Leave enough so we can have two on every campus - living fossils - so we will never forget what these people stood for.

Environmentalists are a socialist group of individuals that are the tool of the Democrat Party. I’m proud to say that they are my enemy. They are not Americans, never have been Americans, never will be Americans.
Rep. Don Young (R-AK)

Get rid of the guy. Impeach him, censure him, assassinate him.

Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past - I’m not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble - recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin’s penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an ‘enemy of the people.’ The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, ‘clan liability.’ In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished ‘to the ninth degree’: that is, everyone in the offender’s own generation would be killed and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed.

The middle part of the country–the great red zone that voted for Bush–is clearly ready for war. The decadent left in its enclaves on the coasts is not dead–and may well mount a fifth column.
Andrew Sullivan

Why are we sending aircraft carriers halfway around the world to look for enemies, when our nation’s worst enemies–communists proclaiming an anti-American jihad–will be right there in front of the Washington Monument on Saturday?

Talk about ironic: the same people urging us not to blame the victim in rape cases are now saying that Uncle Sam wore a short skirt and asked for it.
Jonathan Alter
Newsweek, 10/1/2001
We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors.

My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building.

John Kerry has it tough. As I’ve mentioned before, he’s been trying to send a positive message on the war when many people in his own party are actively rooting for the other side.
Glenn Reynolds

I have known some of the liberal world quite well and for a long time, and there are quite obviously people close to the leadership of today’s Democratic Party who do not at all hope that the battle goes well in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Christopher Hitchens

Bush hatred has become a defining characteristic for many liberals—so much so that they appear to identify with it more surely and swiftly than they do their American citizenship. At times, some extremist liberals seem to be rooting against their fellow Americans and in favor of those who would kill us.

One can only admire Hendrickson’s candor in admitting what is usually hotly denied: that even many leading realists, along with many liberal internationalists, are rooting for an American defeat.
Norman Podhoretz

Let me put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts to the region the words of Senator Durbin, certainly putting America’s men and women in uniform in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals.
Karl Rove

Everybody got it? Dissent, fine; undermining, you’re a traitor. Got it? So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they’re undermining everything and they don’t care, couldn’t care less.
Bill O’Reilly

While our men and women in uniform put their lives on the line each day to defend our safety and to protect our freedoms, I am sure the least they expect is the backing and the support of their leaders at home. To the contrary, what we’ve seen from Democrat leaders is a growing pattern of jumping at any chance to point the finger at our own troops, bending over backwards to promote the interests of terror-camp detainees while dragging our military’s honored reputation through the mud.
Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-OH)
6/23/2005
[It] is just inconceivable and truly incorrigible that in the midst of the war, that the Democratic leaders would be conducting guerrilla warfare on American troops. … [The Pelosi/Waxman proposal for an independent commission to investigate conditions at Guantanamo Bay is] simply another example of some Democrat leaders trusting the words of terrorists over the proven decency of U.S. troops.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC)
6/23/2005
The Democratic leadership priority is to actively engage in the politics of division and distraction that can undermine our national security in favor of a left-wing agenda.
Ron Bonjean

Wouldn’t it be great if anybody who speaks out against this country, to kick them out of the country? Anybody that threatens this country, kick ‘em out. We’d get rid of Michael Moore, we’d get rid of half the Democratic Party if we would just import that law. That would be fabulous. The Supreme Court ought to look into this. Absolutely brilliant idea out there.

The citizen has privileges which are not accorded to the alien. He is the master in the Reich. But this high honour has also its obligations. Those who show themselves without personal honour or character, or common criminals, or traitors to the fatherland, can at any time be deprived of the rights of citizenship. Therewith they become merely subjects of the State.
