I know a lot of people who think that another civil war is now inevitable in the United States. Some people think that a McCain victory would lead to an immediate rebellion of liberals, but they would lose. Others think that an Obama victory will eventually lead to war, but in that case liberals will have the upper hand. I would like to think that a civil war is still avoidable, but news articles like this Rasmussen Report that says 25% of liberals have a favorable impression of William Ayers is depressing for me. This indicates that there is a huge group of people who support violent action.
