I disagree. To confine the movement to geographical consideration is really to misunderstand the objectives, this isn't a geopolitical issue. This is about industrialism and its grip on our political institutions. The american civil war was clearly North vs South, however should such another event take place, it will not be so easily defined by any lines on a map. I would go so far as to speculate there would be more similarites to the Bolshevik movements in Czarist Russia than the American Civil War. Until Diebold and others involved in the election results are raked over the coals and exposed, I wouldn't trust any demographic representations of the sides to be taken in such an event.
As to a civil war being some kind of a purely liberal agenda, you may suprised at the various factions that would take an interest in such an event. What if it came out in the media that the elections were indeed rigged, can you imagine the outrage if the soverignty of a nation had been compromised by a select group of ultra rich? We are not the ruling class, yet we are the majority, and that alone deifes these grandoise principles that we have touted for so long. The Indutrial revolution was more of a revolution than you may be aware of. While most of tend to think of that as a broad and general term to describe the modernization of the western world, it was in fact, a true revolution. The soverignty of the american people was taken by the capitalists, and our system of government has failed to act in the interest of the people of this nation every since. The last I heard, the people hold a constitutional right to dissolve or abolish the governement when it fails to represent the interests of the people it governs. I am not advocating revolution, but I am saying that Uncle Sam is no longer a mandate of the people, and the people have a right, nay an obligation to change that. It doesn't matter if you are a conservative or a liberal, if you are rich, or if you are gay, what matters is the control of our political establishments are no longer answerable to the people, and have not been since the early 1900's.
