I think we talked about this some months back, briefly, in this thread (or perhaps it's predecessor). There's a distinct possibility of those outcomes given that many on the left have been allowed to get away with cheapening reasonable discussion of racism. Look (if your stomach is strong enough) at the silliness that goes on MSNBC...............wherein the likes of Matthews and O'Donnell can spend an entire show effectively justifying the use of the name "Chicago" as racist code. The operative word being "code" as that bit of trickery allows them to make any word/phrase they choose labled as "racist". Clear thinking folks recognize this as an opportunistic exercise on their part, but there are people driven by other motives who have embraced those notions.
I would worry less about those folks quoted on twitter, they're probably just blowing off steam. The ones to worry about are the ones not shooting off their mouth. Think about the number of Hollywood twits that said they would "...leave the country if Bush is re-elected...". They're still here................... However, California has had a significant exodus of people who have become fed up with the deterioration of their state. They didn't make a big show of it, they didn't shoot off their mouths, they just quietly came to a decision to act, arranged their life circumstances in as favorable way as they could figure for themselves, and executed on their plan. Some retired to other states, some moved their businesses to other states (a few to other countries), some found work elsewhere. As long as the entire country isn't reduced to the same lower level, motivated people will migrate to where ever they perceive the opportunities for them lie. Others who have a grimmer view (or more prescient) have left the country. As an example, there's a comparatively sizeable community of medical professionals who have moved from the US to Costa Rica in search of a more hospitable environ. I suspect there are others likewise motivated. All that happening without any big rallies or uprisings. Those folks may have complained to friends and family, may have written letters or emails to political representatives, or done whatever they felt were their best efforts to change the directions they felt were disadvantageous, but in the end they didn't bluster or cause destruction, they just acted. Those that would riot as that article suggests may swing into action as a result of election results and the urging of charletons such as those named above, but after the riot their lives won't be any different. If they never took the time to learn a skill, learn to read, build a productive life, they'll still be impoverished in whatever way they were before the riot. They chose not to learn it isn't the actions of others that has held them back, but rather their own poor choices and allowing others to use them as tools for their own benefit (whether they be politicans, celebrities, or well meaning but misguided folks). Such is the way of degrading societies............they don't fall apart in one event, or overnight. Rather, it's like a cancer growing one cell at a time, as uncivil behavior is not shunned as it occurs but is instead, allowed to propagate.
In 1968 there were riots in over 100 cities and I would not be surprised to see that again this year if ZER Obama is not re elected------
Chicago had the Illinois National Guard deployed as well as all the police---it was called the riot by the police as they took action against the protesters
I'm getting kinda jumpy as to what we can talk about on this thread so I'll ask first.
Can we talk about Abortion here?????????????????????????????????
I wouldn't suggest it
you'll know when the power that is decides. your post will just go away.
nawwwww, think I'll pass so I don't end up pissed - - - - have a great weekend Y'all - - - I'm going to a Fish Fry 'neener neener'
damn yellar , now i'm craving fresh catfish or crappie .
I realy think the people of this country have grown a bit since 68. I lived in Chicago's southside then. People acted realy DUMB both side were wrong and no one wanted to admit to it. It was very localized and on the southside. The media hiped the crap out of it. If they would have said less it wouldn't have been anywhere what it was. Just my opinion since I lived right in the middle of it.
Yep--your right--the media actually let/set up some of the confritations-----so do you think the present day media are better or worse----
Have you been keeping up with the shootings/murders in your old neighborhood????
sure was goooood too and these subdivision ladies had all their ducks in a row - - - - - some of the sides were almost as good as the fish - - - - - - fresh Lake Conroe catfish fried to perfection - - - - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside - - - yum yum yum "burp"
Keeping up ? Nope left Chi. in 94 you couldn't drag me back there.That was a different time and a different life. The media is still the same sensationalizing everything. They say thats what sells newspapers...hahaha there about all gone now too. The media trys to control how you think and feel about "There News" If there is nothing to report the invent or import trouble elsewhere. You realy have to read between the lines to get the truth, and then its tough. I believe this world (your life) is what you make it, work hard, pay your bills, be honest and the best you can, pray and wait till its your turn to go home
Hmmm. Catfish does sound good!!!! No place local to go get any cats, but we do have our fair share of Walleye!!!!!
Riots after the election??? I doubt it, really. I think people are so fed up with the negative campaigns that both candidates are running, and the 24 hours a day, 7 days a week media bs about THEIR take on what the candidates really said about the only thing we'll here on election eve is a collective sigh of relief that it's all finally over!!!!!
Wonder if we can vote out the media HAHAHA.
If I want cat fish I just walk about 500' out my back door and catch them
My son and I just ate catfish in Granbury and you guys are making me hungry again!
i thought i felt a disturbance in the force :3dSMILE:
you still have some ford frames ?

I started to say "That's amazing!" but it really ain't, is it?
The Piper has resorted to recycling some of his SOS in order to maintain a steady flow of the "S" his disciples want to hear.
Note: I'm not talking about that breakfast delicacy called SOS in military dining areas. That would be "S" on a shingle.

Sad part is that ?IF? he gets re-elected then we will have 4 more years of that "ECHO" along with MORE wasteful Gooberment Spending.
The Libbies are always using "outsourcing" as a weapon against their opponents.
Have Y'all seen this one?
