This article grounds itself in the recent past and makes a good projection into the near future of what dangers we face as a democracy because of the violence-loving right wing of the now practically defunct GOP. Ironically, in preparing for the permanent Republican majority, the Bush Administration handed over a military honed to a razor's edge in Iraq, and plenty of precedent for violating and ignoring the Constitution in the name of national securtiy. A civil war would be the most dire threat to national security short of an invasion from another solar system. Obama has already shown that he is not afraid to use the military to kill people if they are deemed a security risk.

Mr. Greenwald gives a brief look at anti-government "militia movements" from '92 on and how they ignored the transgressions of BushCo but now seem to be coming back. He gives a specific example of a recent Fixed News program.

Greenwald focuses in on the crazies, but they are featured on "mainstream" big corporate media. This is bordering on inciting to sedition.

A report that may not be long in coming true. While the expert sources are conservative idiots, what they say rings true. With Fox news and Hannity building the bomb, and the pinhead Rush lighting the fuse, it may not be long before some homegrown terrorist does another Oklahoma, and the republicans will say "I told you so".

Holy judgemental
