That's exactly what I said. At no point in our history have we lived up to the principles we said we would stand by.

What none of you realize is that in my hidden super villain lair, I am creating something that no one has a defense against.

My minions are developing an airborne bio agent that will instantly send every human female over the age of 14 into instant mega PMS that would be more intune with a female Trex.

While the men hide in terror, my minions will administer the antidote and take control of power plants and tv networks, and begin broadcasting 24 hours of "here comes honey boo boo" in every known language on the planet.

I think we tried to invade Canada during the first American Revolution, and then again during the War of 1812. If there's any kind of revolutionary-level upheaval in the United States, I don't see how Canada could be totally unaffected. There'd be refugees pouring over the border, and probable cross-border sympathies between like-minded factions. Canadian rightists or leftists might sympathize with their counterparts in the U.S.

And then there's Mexico to our south. If the U.S. is in a state of chaos and revolution, then Mexico would probably also be in a similar situation.

It could get a bit dicey throughout the entire continent, with all these different factions and groups going at each other. Canada may not be as safe as you think. In fact, a revolution in America would probably send ripples throughout the world, so there may not be any safe place.

Canada isn't exactly polarized when it comes to our politics.

Really.

First Nations? Quebec separatists? Fishing rights? Sealing? Alberta tar sands?

You've had some conservative prime ministers that would give us heart attacks.

Lol, ya we got those problems but we've moved well past deciding if gay marriage should be legal or not and other issues Americans seem so hell bent over. We're not free of issues, it's just we're not stuck in the past and one political party's constituents aren't calling for the head of our prime minister. I don't like harper, but organizing support rallies to hang him? Ya, I'd take canadian conservatives over american conservatives any day

And we've moved past separatist states and aboriginals.

In many states, we've moved past gay marriage too. That's just a matter of time.

We are near a tipping point. Whether that point leads to war I don't know. We may just devolve into a bunch of third world countries squabbling over which is the "real" USA while the oligarchs huddle in their enclaves. Or one side or the other may go to war. All I know for sure is that if we as a nation don't come to our senses and soon things are going to get ugly.

Americans are too lazy to take such a proactive approach, even given our propensity to violence.

This is all more about someone to blame.

I'm not so sure about that.

What happened at the Bundy Ranch bothered me. How hard would it be for some rich bastard to turn some group of militia guys into his own death squads?

If you haven't been following it the US military officer corps is now dominated by fundamentalist Christians especially in the Air Force. Their loyalty to a Democratic President is questionable at best. The top brass has made an attempt at purging the worst elements but results have yet to be seen.

Now add in the disruptions from climate change.

I just don't know how much the country can take.

No doubt you've "run the math" on that.

...With the right wing as extreme as they are, and with the left more or less complying to the demands of the right in many cases and failing to keep promises which should have been easy to keep, it makes one wonder...

Spoken like a true liberal.

How do you figure?

First, the right wing PRIDES itself on taking extreme stances, even arguing they don't go far enough.

And second, the rest of that post criticizes the left for breaking easy promises.

Knee jerk reaction much?

I just don't know how much the country can take.

First, some rich bastard turning a militia into his own death squads isn't really practical in this country.

Now some rich bastard using the media to incite a populist uprising is more possible, but still I doubt if enough people will take up arms and it will quickly put down.

Regardless of religious beliefs, I doubt a military coup is gonna happen unless Obama dissolves congress and declares martial law. He may be stupid, but not that stupid.

This country weathered the great depression, the civli unrest and race riots of the 60's and early 70's and it will get through this as well.

However, should some great calamity befall the country, pandemic, famine, or some other event where it appears that the government and the wealthy are getting food, medications etc while the rest of the country suffers, then yes, a full scale popular revolt would happen.

Of course, should this happen in the US, it will be happening all over the planet.

Of course, should this happen, I have a place to go, supplies for 20 for about 2 years, enough ammo and weapons to hold off most threats, adn am considering setting up an underground hydroponic operation. If it works for pot growers, it should work for growing food.

Right now, the only thing that will get the militias to start fighting is if FOX news can convince them that the NWO is finally taking over.
