    Does anyone else notice that these domestic terrorists always seem to target their own neighbors?

    Wall Street bankers are safe from their rage, but people who rely on the local power grid are their sworn enemies.

        If nothing else, it’s a crappy military strategy.

        If there’s a new Civil War the NC National Guard is going to get called out.

        They are going to remember the people who made them do extra work after a disaster, and also remember that the Federal government actually showed up to help.

      It’s because it takes money and organization and those are had to get on the down-low.

        I always like to point out that back in the day, Lincoln offered Robert E Lee command of the Army of the Potomac. Today’s secessionists couldn’t get a job at the Apple Store.
