Question for anyone here...

20-30 years at the least, IMO. States are going to start pushing harder away from the Federal Government at some point as the citizens decry the Orwellian bullshit that is being passed through. It is easier to fight it at the state level, so we'll see it start there. We're seeing it in Arizona, and with the several states that filed lawsuits about the Healthcare bullshit. People will leave the weaker bankrupt states with high unemployment that depend on the Government assistance, and those states will be the ones that stick behind the country while the stronger states pull away from it. If we could get a halfway bright CIC in office we might not have to worry about it, but I don't have my hopes up. Who knows if that is how it will play out, but it makes sense to me thinking about it.

I say sooner then that if the government doesnt get their shit together. Higher gas prices, higher taxes, and more MF's sitting on their asses sucking the governments tit is all it is going to take.

100% agree here

Of course it is all speculation at this point but over the past couple of weeks I have just felt a stronger push by the Gov't to play big brother. Don’t know if it is warranted or not but I feel something you know.

Also, the complacency in this country is sad...how did we go from a nation of go getters to a nation of followers? So confused it is frustrating

So how much longer do you think we have?

I can see more of a civil war dividing the country then anything else, but I don't see that happening for 5 to 10 years at the earliest, if Obama gets reelected, and keeps going the way he is that is.

Doubtful, we're far too complacent
Yes
No, at least not physically. Fiscally, yes.

With all of the threads latley regarding laws, how pissed we are or how wrong this is; who here truly thinks that one day our citizens will revolt in part? Who thinks "the man" is just slowly positioning himself to suspend the constitution? And finally, if there was a revolt, do you think it could be pulled off without one of these damn South American or M.E. countries trying to take advantage?
