Lol flawed arguments.
Love that part in the constitution where it says “except crazies”
Local Waco cops just got those Abrams tanks from motor pool
David Koresh broke laws?And that was a pretty lame attempt to discredit my post. David Koresh was a delusional polygamist and took several underage brides. Not to mention the many federal laws he and his followers broke. The Weavers and Harris opened fire on Federal Marshals as they were doing recon before serving a bench warrant as it was known that the Weavers held a large cache of firearms. So please tell me what part of the constitution allows this type of behavior and where federal agencies overstepped their boundaries. And I never said local cops were only there for the Waco siege, I was talking about the Civil Rights movement atrocities being mostly perpetrated by local law. Notice I said "most".
As to how all this ties into cal's argument, it is a flawed one as those examples he gave of how the government can quell a civil war before it begins have nothing to do with how the right side of center civilians would act if the leftists were able to force a never ending blockage of equal representation.
David Koresh broke laws?
Please tell me the crimes of which he was convicted.
I'm simply making the connection that the delusional polygamist is to the media then what crazy right wingers are now. Delusional people thinking they can seperate them selfs or overthrow the government when it over steps and infringes on their rights. It's the old frog in a slow boiling pot of water proverb (I hear it's BS, but I don't know for sure), once the ones that would take action get around to it, it will be too little too late. Take into effect that alot of what is out there as far as any resistance is under armed, under trained, and under prepared (mentally and physcally) I just dont see it as a successful uprising. When the dust settles and any uprising is put down the media will lable it as domestic terrorist, sleeper cells, extremist, or some new term they coin. History will reflect how insightful and wise the government was, and a small portion of the population decided to turn on their country. Or maybe I am wrong and another shot heard around the world will yet again win us our freedom. As for me I will continue to be a watchdog for my family and worry about our needs until such a time comes. I will continue to pray for peaceful resolve and a fruitful nation that does not turn on our selfs.
Interesting analysis. Would civil war happen in america? Happened in the past. I don't know.
I hope not.
You missed a major part of that video. That greatest military force is over 75% right wing. How many of them would defect if the government went against the people? The government could take a small number of people with what you described, but take too much and it would get noticed and would be an open declaration of war against the people. Tools and supplies? Who do you think produces most of the supplies? Red states. Blue areas of the country are completely dependent on supplies while most red areas are or can be self sufficient.
Your entire reply suggests you didn't watch the video, or if you did you listened to argue, not listened to understand what he was saying.
I just wanted to point out a few issues related to these opinions. The day before the Waco incident happened David Koresh could have been arrested while walking down the street. Most likely without an incident at all . Janet Reno let him return to the compound and then launched a military attack against the compound the next day. They used Hueys with M-60's and then tanks later to murder all those men ,women, and children. What happen to como posse tutius ? Randy Weaver big crime until he was attacked was cutting off a shotgun barrel. Federal agents shot and killed his unarmed wife while she was standing in a doorway holding her baby. I believe they also shot his teenage son buy, I don't remember all the details about the Weaver incident. I opinion is that both were social experiments to see if the public would support the government in such attacks if the victims were portrayed as mad dogs. I don't remember anyone involved on the government side going to jail for any of this. This will be the same tactic they will use if anyone tries to rebel. This has worked since the Civil War. The victor gets to write ( lie about)history.
