Can We Prevent a Second Civil War?
Via Sipsey Street Irregulars
There are three issues that could presently trigger a Civil War in America:
- Illegal aliens. A government that refuses to protect our borders, the methodical structure of citizenship, and the rule of law, will only be tolerated for so long. America is reaching a tipping point on this issue.
- Abortion. Irreconcilable differences here. This may likely become as potent an issue as slavery was in the 1860s.
- The right to keep and bear arms - see "2A Today for The USA"
No other significant present day problems could potentially result in the “brother against brother” tragedy of a Second American Civil War.
Sooner or later, the massive invasion of America by illegal aliens will be confronted, if not by the rule of law then by either armed police officers and soldiers … or armed citizens. There are twenty million or more illegal aliens entrenched in this nation now. How many tens of millions more will it take to reach a tipping point? At what point will law enforcement agencies and/or the military begin to do the job they were sworn to do? At what point will citizens themselves be forced, by government inactivity, to confront this invasion by force of arms?

"I like this idea.
Please find attached a template.
This works well on laser printers. Print the sheet. Stick your 3 x 3 sticky notes over the top and run it again.

In defense of college
"This Cracked commenter's explanation of why college is worthwhile is more than a little amusing:
College sucked for the first two years for me (as in I was one phone call away from talking to an Army recruiter) but then I ended up studying abroad for a semester, meeting some really cool people and professors and took classes in my major (Rhetoric) which were really eye opening and awesome. I started out as a judgmental hyper-conservative p***k and four years later, here I am graduating in three weeks as a well rounded, tolerant atheist. I don't mean to toot my own horn (although if I could, I would, heh heh) but I'm certainly much better off, mentally, than I was before college. To me that's what makes my mountain of debt worth it.
So, there's some good news and some bad news, Mom and Dad."

THE SOUTHERN LEGAL RESOURCE CENTER NEWS RELEASE
APRIL 28, 2011
VISITORS TO PARALYZED VET WHO DISPLAYED CONFEDERATE FLAG IN HOSPITAL ROOM. SAY VA SECURITY THREATENED THEM, SEIZED THEIR CAMERAS, DESTROYED PICTURES
MEMPHIS, TN -- Family and friends visiting paralyzed Korean War veteran
Perry Thrasher in his room at the Veterans' Administration Hospital in
Memphis say hospital police "harassed and threatened" them, temporarily
confiscated their cameras and removed pictures from them Wednesday.
The hospital police said they were acting in accordance with a "VA policy"
which they would not name or explain, witnesses say.
Several people were in Thrasher's room taking pictures of black
Confederate activist H. K. Edgerton visiting Thrasher and presenting him
with a full-sized Confederate battle flag. Earlier this month, hospital administrators had demanded that Thrasher, the grandson of a Confederate soldier who died at the Battle of Petersburg, remove a miniature Confederate flag he had placed on the wall inside his own hospital room and put it away it in a drawer because it "offended" unnamed staff and patients.
News of the hospital's action went viral on the Internet and has sent
waves of outrage through the South and beyond. Well-wishers have sent
Thrasher dozens of letters and cards of encouragement, many containing
tiny Confederate flags. The Sons of Confederate Veterans has made him a
life member. And The Southern Legal Resource Center and Memphis Attorney
T. Tarry Beasley II have sent a letter on behalf of Thrasher to Memphis VA
Hospital Director Jay Robinson, demanding that the hospital cite any legal
authority they rely on for banning Thrasher's flag from his private room,
an action which the SLRC says is in gross violation of the hospital's own
Patient Bill of Rights. The letter also demands an explanation of the
"policy" under which the hospital police seized the cameras and removed
the pictures.
"It's disgraceful that a veteran who defended his country should be
treated in this manner in a Veterans Administration Hospital where the protections of the Bill of Rights should theoretically apply," said Edgerton, himself a Vietnam era veteran.
"Mr. Thrasher displayed his flag to honor the memory of his Great
Grandfather, Sgt. Gilbert Thrasher, Co I, 44th Alabama Infantry Regiment
who died of wounds received in action at the Siege of Petersburg. We
support Mr.Thrasher's stand to honor his ancestor's sacrifice." said
Forrest Camp member Karl Amelang.
"This type of outrageous infringement should not happen to a veteran, in> America, in a federal facility," said attorney Beasley.
"Ever since this story broke three weeks ago, there has been widespread support and sympathy for Mr. Thrasher. The VA needs to do the right thing and let him display his flag," said Lyons, who is the SLRC's Chief Trial Counsel.

advocates on behalf of persons whose civil rights have been infringed in
connection with Southern heritage issues.

Who Killed General John Sedgwick?
Benjamin Medicus Powell, CSA (1841-1917)?
"At the battle of Second Manassas Col. Barnes placed me in command of the Infirmary Corps in which capacity I served until a few days before the battle of Gettysburg when I was presented with a long-range Whitworth rifle with a telescope and globe sights and with a roving commission as an independent sharpshooter and scout. This rifle killed Gen. Sedgwick at Spottsylvania Court House."
