"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, having its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -- Declaration of Independence

No, most Americans are very patriotic & their views are so different than on Q&A. I have helped take polls, read polls, have lots of friends & acquitances both Democrats & Republicans
and nowhere is this hatred & bigotry between political parties.
Most people understand that sometimes your canidates win & sometimes their canidates win. No one is meant to agree with every law or policy. That would be a Monarcy & they are not working these days.

True Patriots will protect the US, we saw what happened last time. It is estimated that 618,000 Americans died in a war that took decades to recover from & we are still Southerners & Yankees. Sad there was ever such pride to have a Civil War just to be right.

As I said on your other question, yes, I see a Civil War in our future. Abortion, gay marriage, the slice of swiss cheese seperating church from state, ......... these issues divide us.

In "The Federal Courts, Politics, and the Rule of Law," by John C. Hughes (published 1995), it says:

"In the contemporary political context, those who fear conformity have tended to describe themselves as liberal and have tended to applaud judicial 'protection' of human rights. Those who fear diversity have tended to call themselves conservatives and have been appalled by judicial 'usurpation' of the majority's discretion to form the kind of community it finds most conducive to its own happiness. The former tends to approve of the expansive theories of constitutional interpretation, while the latter tends to prefer the restrained theories of judicial review. These alignments are neither perfect nor inevitable, but the debate has surely been shrill."

And, in "The Tempting of America," by Robert Bork:

"Perhaps those liberals who want a political Court are correct in their confidence that in the modern era judges will usually be more liberal than the electorate. If so, they are right, in terms of their immediate self-interest, to oppose original understanding and judicial nominees who insist upon it. That stance is, however, profoundly antidemocratic, and it is dangerous to the long-term health of the American Republic."

We've been at civil war since the beginning of the Bush administration. People just fail to realize it because we aren't actually killing each other yet.

no. this is not back in the days where an army could be raised in secret. the most probable thing that could happen is mass protest to change policy. other than that the government would crush any rebellion. before all you needed were a ready supply of rifles and hand guns. now you need airplanes and tanks.

I'm more afraid of a World War. If we somehow manage to avoid that, then yes.

No but if the reboobs continue to buy elections results from Diebold, there will definitely be a second great American Revolution.
