Battleground: 7 in 10 say US ‘on the edge of civil war’

[mack7.62]

Sadly I am beginning to believe it is becoming inevitable, one side wants to be left alone the other wants complete control. The left wants to see a hunger games world, bright shiny cities with super high standards of living and the rest of the county exists to support them. I am sitting here thinking what do those urban shitholes really provide we can't do without and I can't think of anything. Some will say that "but, but, but all the smart people want to live there" but how smart are you when your belief system consists of left wing talking points.

I really, truly wish it didn't go that way. We are better off as a united nation.

The problem is, we are no longer united like we could be. When we have members of Congress openly mocking one of the worst terrorist attacks in our history as "someone did something" there's a significant problem.

When not called out by other members of that same party, we have a significant problem.

When Congress is allowed to create sham investigation after sham investigation all in the hopes of overturning an election, there's a significant problem.

When those same Congressional Representatives continue to lie and oppress the truth behind "rules" there is a significant problem.

When one of the major political parties openly welcomes invaders and chastises others for not being "open minded" there's a significant problem.

Only one party completely demonizes others for the "problems" we face and comes up with a new boogeyman each and every time something hits the news. It's always the problems of racism, sexism, xenophobic, bigotry, the "rich" and other watchwords that the left comes up with. Claiming others are "fascist" and not even understanding (or maybe they do) these tactics were exactly what the real fascists used to control their populations. Focus the anger of the masses on a group of people that are allegedly responsible for their problems in life.

Regardless, I feel we are on a path to an eventual breakup of the Union. There is no such thing as "too big to fail" on a governmental level. The Soviet Union showed us that. Now whether it's violent or peaceful remains to be seen.

Hopefully the midwestern to Rockies core gets a Putin and not a Yeltsin as its leader. We've already had a dozen Yeltsins with the same awful results here as they had there.

Yeah, this is the way to pick a fight...

Protesters around the world disrupted Black Friday shopping in order to draw attention to climate change days before the United Nations met to discuss the issue in Madrid.

The retail holiday saw protests in a long list of countries -- including France, Germany, the United States -- with some activists entering stores and others holding mock funerals. Near Paris, climate demonstrators blocked a shopping mall and gathered in from of Amazon’s headquarters to protest over-production they say is killing the planet.

People get violent with each other because they can't get that 65 inch TV they wanted. Now you're going to try to stop them from going after it?

LOL, best o' luck.

As we like to say over at RedState, "Not exactly what you'd call a real smart choice of evolutionary strategy there, Sparky." Frankly, as far as I'm concerned ANYBODY who ventures out into the Retail Hell Dimensions and Rioting Mobs that are Black Friday brick-and-mortar is a Darwin Award applicant...

This. It’s really not like on TV or a video game.

and it smells..

[Firefly]

and it smells..

I was trying not to go there but yeah.

The two smells I shall never forget (and wish I could) is the smell of burning flesh and putrefaction.

Putrefaction is just ungodly. Most people don’t hurl because of the sight. It’s the smell. Gag a maggot. Won’t lie. I’ve puked a time or two.

Keep carpenters masks handy....
