Nothing could possibly be more illegal than Obama running a third time, barring an amendment to the Constitution. If you consider that as being at all possible, you are full of shit.



Yeah the Republicans changed the rules after the last time a Democrat Pres won four terms....only he did have the decency to die not long into the fourth.

I'm given to understand that before that, the two terms thing was something people did just because Washington had decided to only serve twice and it caught on. Which really makes it the most successful fad of all time, if you think about it.

Then, we can have Obama repeatedly hitting the Republicans of Congress.

See, in 08 I would have said Obama all the way, but after 4 years of being president, he's starting to show his age.


Maybe Obama learned kung fu? Everyone knows that old people are deadly if they know kung fu.

so what are your Words of Wisdom on this subject


Honestly, the second civil war is looking increasingly likely no matter which candidate wins a given election. The divides between the (liberal) Northeast and West Coast States, and the (conservative) inland and Deep South are simply becoming too pronounced, and worse over time.

A second civil war would never happen. The side that was legally elected would just remind any rebel states that the U.S. has nuclear weapons capable of turning their states into so much radioactive ash. Plus reular people in said states would never support the republican neo-nazis most likely to start the war.

Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

Some revolutionary may stir up some ruckus, a few states leave, the Fed. Gov. does not like = War.

look at it this way the american people have not been coming together to say the least, were divided so much that if someone doesn't share our ideals we automatically denounce them as being a person, our morals and ideas are being thrown away everyday. shoot i don't remember when there were so any shootings in public places in such short amounts of time. i think the people would have no problem killing each other, it happens everyday here in Cali. look at Syria, were not so different. and my philosophical saying is that "revolutions are infinite."

And giving someone 16 years of making life long appointments to the federal judiciary is just way too much power.
2 terms is reasonable, and the GOP did it at a fair time, they knew IKE was going to run on their ticket and IKE would always win reelection because he won the War.

Close up at the time? I doubt.

But right now? Why,the seccessionists would get shot to pieces really quickly, and I certainly wont grieve. I find it exceedingly difficult to think of a punishment severe enough to penalise those who contemplate secession in circumstances that are incompatible with the reasonable application of the doctrine set out in the Declaration of Independence.

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charte ... cript.html

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.-


As I said, this is exactly the same thing as the CSA thread.

I actually gotta give him props for speaking his mind and not trying to sugar-coat his idiotic fanaticism. That takes balls.

He's a raving idiot, though. We may have another civil war someday, but not this year. People like this have paranoid fantasies that Obama is going to go all Hitler on us and start Nazifying the nation, but Obama is never going to make those fantasies come true.
