Jkd, I would very much like to point out that the first Civil War was not about slavery.

It was about state's rights, which since then have been drastically eroded. The last civil war was an intrusive federal government, and if there is to be another, I feel it will likewise be about state's rights.

This very minute, our federal government is spending citizens money, and the money of the yet unborn American citizens.

Racism is overall superficial. We Americans like to fuss among ourselves like brothers, but when the chips are down, we fight arm in arm, race be damned.

Great points. So you think that a civil war doesn't have to be based on a race issuse as the first was?



I do not think the last civil war was based on race. It has only been painted that way by the winner. From historical context their were many events that led to it. James Buchanan was kind of a lame duck president and the industrial revolution in the north was not going as well for the south. Lincoln declaring the first executive order did not help anything... If anything that was the biggest mistake in our constitutional history for when he enacted the first executive order he changes the US from a democratic republic to a democratic dictatorship.

And today Bush has been a very lame duck.... You can bet things will explode on Obamas watch.

...

You seriously believe that the current Keynesian system is a "Free Market" one?
