Of wars and rumors of wars

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
                                         Matthew 24:6


Kos called Andrew Breitbart's random musings a "psychotic break."  I'm not so sure--I think Breitbart's hopes are shared by most, if not all, of his like-minded allies in the tea party.  I truly believe most people in the tea party would like nothing better than to get out their guns and shoot all the Liberals, and take back the country that exists only in their puny minds.  Contrary to their wishes, that civil war will never happen:  the monied interests who pull their strings and call the real shots would never--repeat, never--let a civil war get in the way of their making money.  That being said, a few points on Breitbart's comments:

• Breitbart notes that they've "got the guns."  Apparently, Brietbarts mind is too small to grasp the fact that should it come to that, Liberals would have no fucking problem getting guns, too.  Getting guns in America is about as hard as getting sand in the fucking Sahara Desert.
• Breitbart says the military would be with them.  I have no doubt that some in the military would be with them.  But as a whole?  Not fucking likely--the military has strategic plans for dealing with global warming; the military is not counting on drill, baby, drill to solve our oil problems.  In short, the reason our military is so successful is because its leadership is full of well-educated people--and they aren't about to support a group full of illiterate dupes.
• How many supporters, do you suppose, would last in their "cause" when it became brutally obvious that they were fighting to save the wealth of the few, who would never share with the grunts their success?
• And in the end, what does it say about the tea party and its supporters that the only way they can foresee their ideas becoming mainstream would come at the end of a barrel of a gun?  Somehow I can't imagine the Founding Fathers pursuing the ideals that made this country what it is by pointing a gun at their fellow Americans and saying "Believe our way or die!"

Unless things change, though, I do believe Brietbart will get his wish of a civil war.  As we've seen in the Middle East, you can only feed the poor shit sandwiches for so long before they attack and try to stuff them down the throats of those who have so much.  With almost 1 in 6 Americans living in poverty, Breitbart and his monied backers should beware:  there is no soldier like a soldier with absolutely nothing to lose.
