Is Obama creating a civil war in America?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Hollywood conservative has headed East. It's "Freedom Concert" time for Jon Voight. The Academy Award winner will join Sean Hannity in Cincinnati and Atlanta this weekend to honor fallen soldiers and present college scholarships to surviving children. Mr. Voight -- a warrior himself in many ways -- has been cogitating about the state of America, meanwhile.

"There's a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?" Mr. Voight tells Inside the Beltway.

"We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true. If we permit Mr. Obama to take over all our industries, if we permit him to raise our taxes to support unconstitutional causes, then we will be in default. This great America will become a paralyzed nation."

Be outraged, Mr. Voight advises.

"Do not let the Obama administration fool you with all their cunning Alinsky methods. And if you don't know what that method is, I implore you to get the book 'Rules for Radicals,' by Saul Alinsky . Mr. Obama is very well trained in these methods," he continues, citing a television campaign critical of the Republican Party and contentious town-hall meetings about health care reform.

"The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them," Mr. Voight says. "So I ask again. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?"

This could be fun!

This is why Jon Voight is so great at the role of playing the defender of big corporate interests pizzing down on Jane and Joe America. He ain't really playing these parts, he's just being himself.

One of my customers said this same thing the other night.

Maybe Jon is right and is just concerned at what is happening to his country like you are.

No Sarah, he ain't right.

I think there is some very scary stuff going on out there - whether this could lead to 'civil war' might be a stretch.

When I see news reports of individuals carrying weapons to the perimeter of events, it does concern me as to what the mindset of people is turning too.

If conversation about "civil wars" is on the table now...... you ain't seen nuthin.

But seriously, any civil war would be one where lines of ideology are the dividing point and not the Gov against any group... after all States and the armament sitting on their regions would be at their disposale.

Just for fun....lets consider the "two" sides and what this field of battle might look like.

On one side we have battalions of NRA teachers alongside Platoons of "Give peace a chance" crowd.

Backed up by "Green Wariors" insisting their side fight in an eco-friendly way.

And then on the other side of the field of battle we have........ well you get the picture.

Excellent.

America truly is barmy. Civil war when the elected process is still working? Loony tunes.

When you elect your representatives, you are supposed to know what policies they were elected on and support the implementation of these policies. This idea that a politician makes up the policies once they are in office just doesn't make sense. What you seem to want is a system of government that is able to flex every five minutes, not every 4 years as was envisaged. How anyone expects anything to get done under these terms is beyond me.

Every knows there are only two issues that concern the American people when it's time to vote: Abortion, and the War, whatever war it happens to be at the time. So far, Obama has already dissappointed the anti-war crowd, but he has made the NARAL folks happy. Two for two, I guess. Bush left not making anybody happy. So far, I guess Obama is an improvement.

Abortion and war? Well, that's two faces of the same coin now isn't it
