When a democracy is trying to cope with “greedy bastards” there may be little or no common ground between democracy and greedy bastards. Greedy bastards’ greed extends from the natural resources of weak countries(protected by the UN?) to the Constitution of a strong country like America.
Realizing that an attack on America’s Constitution is a grave matter, the neocons, early on, put a civil war alternative on the table. America’s press, using the power vested in it by America’s Constitution, processed that “civil war” expression into something different from the traditional meaning of the words. And that kind of processing is now common place for neocons and their supporters.
Will America’s neocons activate a civil war. Never say never. Neocons have significant strength among those who fired on Fort Sumter.
Neocons’ political support has come from those who wanted to destroy America’s Constitution – along with America. They used the civil war tool in search of their goal. America did not have to “go over-seas” to find people to shoot.
Now – about that confederate money… . It has long been advised to save it – for the South shall rise again. Maybe confederate money is the answer to the woes of the dollar?
An American civil war would not likely remain a civil war for long because of the long list of international enemies the neocons have collected over their twenty-some-odd years of war-mongering. Those enemies from the Iraqi war theater, who were invited to “bring em’ on” by President Bush, may even show up. It might be difficult, due to the many participants in such a war, to define a neocon civil war in traditional terms. But that should not be difficult – neocons and their press are used to changing the meaning of words in their search for ultimate political power.
