So at the end of yet another ho-hum overwrought denunciation of his ideological foes as nutty theocratic extremists, Andrew Sullivan looks into his crystal ball and sees a civil war coming in the aftermath of an Obama loss.
Well, what else can reasonable, deep thinking people do when their favored politician fails at the ballot box?! These Republicans are virtually thrusting the weapons into their hands by fielding a candidate against The One at all!
It sort of reminds me of this exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and a supporter at a Town Hall meeting just before election 2004:
Supporter: I’m just worried there’s going to be riots afterwards.
Edwards: Uh…well…not if we win.
Hilarious. Andrew Sullivan “fears” what his own allies might do if they lose the 2012 election, but still manages to define “extremist” as essentially a disagreement with Andrew Sullivan, circa 2011. (If you agree with Andrew Sullivan circa 2002 you are, of course, an unilateral imperialist whose adore for torture and Islamofascism knows no bounds…)

Actually in certain scenarios urban riots and outright warfare may be a possibility. Should the GOP prevail the victim class that The Left has created will be told (and feel themselves) that they are disenfranchised and that their entitlement are being taken from them. They will fight to retain their access to other people's money. It is a danger.
Conversely, what will Conservatives do should The Left prevail? Are they willing to defend their various States against the Federal government? What are their Liberties worth? Have we reached the "alter and abolish" decision point and if so, what changes do we require?

Al,
on many other threads I have said it. WE SIT DOWN AND DON'T DRAW INCOME.
ie: no taxes no money for the poverts.
