President Obama’s looming executive action on immigration reform represents a Fort Sumter-type moment, according to conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly.
Fort Sumter, where the opening shots of the Civil War were fired, represented the beginning of a ruinous conflict, and Schlafly, like fellow conservative luminary Richard Viguerie, speculates that an executive amnesty might touch off a sort of modern-day conflagration.
And this will be followed in "one-two punch" fashion by the ruling on whether to prosecute the killer of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO. Fears of what that will bring have already resulted in mobilization of the National Guard:
Q: What kind of "President" reacts to an electoral defeat by declaring war on his own citizens?
A: "Tyrant" is the only word which comes to mind. Can you think of another?
I don't think we'll have another armed conflict like the Civil War. There are lots of guns in private hands, but the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. The people have no way to organize an effective force to challenge the government and no secure means of communication to manage such a force even if it could be raised. Any armed rebellion in the US would result in a one-sided slaughter.
