Not in my long lifetime in the US have I heard so much open talk about militias arming against our government, supported openly by politicians and state governments. There is more inflammatory rhetoric than I ever recall before. Read about Oklahoma's Governor Blogdon here. We have, and always will have, open disagreement on politics, direction, laws, and even interpretation of the Constitution. It is acceptable to rev up an interest in the history of the Civil War, it is less acceptable to fly the Confederate flag or for Virginia's Gov. Bob McDonnell’s to proclame naming April as “Confederate History Month” without mentioning slavery. For more on this, click here.
The Japanese, Germans, and Chinese show themselves as better losers after World War 2 than our South below the Mason Dixon line, which is still fanning the flames of outrage and call for revenge for the loss of the Civil War. How many generations will it take for people still carrying the torch for something that the world saw as unacceptable (slavery of humans)?
There are groups out there at present who are fighting everything the United States, in majority, stands for and their voices are making the rest of us sound as though we are whispering. As I have written before, our biggest threat now is domestic terrorism. What do we plan to do about it?
