New Civil War

No matter how the election turns out the fact is that the nation will be more politically divided than it has ever been. Or I should more correctly say that level of division since the civil war. A radio talk show host, Michael Savage, believes that it will in fact lead to a new civil war in the United States of America, since the liberal left has been so effective in usurping the courts. Yes the lawyers have sure done a good job of subverting the courts.

And if all citizens can not get the protection of the courts, then the only option left is civil disobedience or worse, civil war. Then again the founders wanted the people to have the final say, and since they had their own tea party it is difficult to imagine that they would have a problem with the citizenry getting together to voice their collective F.U. to the courts and any administration in office. The real problem lies in the people being unwilling to do such a thing. Someone once said that violence begets violence. They failed to mention that violence also begets liberty!

Since the conservatives are so concerned with upholding the law, the likelihood that they will defy the law is slim at best. The situation would have to deteriorate to an all time low for the “right” to do much more than talk and bitch. Yet, emotions are running so high that even people who have no particular political affiliation are finding themselves taking sides in this election year. That should not be a surprise since the Kerry campaign is going to take the election even if it means tying the nation in knots through the courts. They are not going to allow a repeat of the Florida scenario this time around.

The fact that there are now more registered voters in Philadelphia than there are adults counted in the last census gives an indication of how strongly people feel about this election. This is being spun as an indication of voter registration fraud, but I would think that it is more of an indication of how poorly the census actually represents the states. This is especially so in urban areas being areas of high minority concentration. No comment as to whose fault that it. It is simply an observation.

The only way that the election isn’t going to be taken to the courts is if the Bush vote is so huge that there is no question that it was a mandate. That is the objective of talker Sean Hannity and I think that even he is feeling somewhat uncomfortable at this point in time. The polls wouldn’t indicate that this is a mandate year. But all bets are off. The “Security Moms” are going to play a huge role this year. It appears that the Jewish and Black vote is not going to hold to the standard democratic pattern this year. War veterans, especially those of the Kerry era a.k.a. Vietnam vets are surly going to play a strong role in favor of Bush thanks in large part to the swift boat vets.

Is this a horse race or what?
