Reply #128: Yes, here are some signs of this

[nadinbrzezinski]

all them bombings of the clinics... are signs

The disdain of folks from one region to anither... is a sign

The talk in both right and left radio, for the moment chiefly right, that it is time to take matters into their own hands (code word for taking up arms) is a sign. I can mention shows, Savage, Rush, and at times O'Lielly... and yes they are influential... on the left, we had some callers mention in passing the R word in the shultz show... as well as Hartmann.. Those are sign posts

When we had the militias starting to mobilize to rescue a brain dead woman in florida, that was a sign post.

The fact that since '94 you don't have people in congress talk to each other is a sing post (in fact the last time that happened was in the 1840s and 1850s... you do know what happened in 1860, don't you?)

The radicalization of language in both the media and among citizens and that we cannot talk to others on the other side... is another sing post. again read about the country starting in the 1820s with the Missouri Compromise

This is the problem... most folks, if you asked them, in oh 1850 if there was going to be a civil war ten years later... they would have laughed at you...

I could give examples of how Yugoslavia broke apart

I could give you examples of the process in the USSR

The process is similar when it happens, and it is happening here.
