POPSTweeting the Civil War: 150th Anniversary, Live Re-enactment Historian tweets the 150th anniversary events LIVE, from 1861. Interesting! Planning to follow the war, month by month, year by year with tweets. It's March 1861 now....war is looming and NC writers are worried. It's timely, it's relevant. Big Government began with Lincoln , and the Constitutional conflict surpassed the events of the Tea Party and American Revolution by far. In fact it was an overthrow of the Constitutional and limited government to one of Consolidation, by The Great Consolidator (says Walter Williams on Lincoln). The so-called Civil War (where the Southern States seceded on the same principle as the War for Independence) cost the lives of over 620,000 Americans, more than all other U.S. wars combined! It started U.S. policy of Unjust Wars (see Clipmark) for "freedom".

POPSIraq on the brink of another Civil War
Whenever and wherever a despot has died and left a country in political limbo, that country has had problems. When Spain and Portugal went through their Nemesis in the 70's and 80's, they had stable European neighbours to call on. Of all the deaths that threatened stability, it was perhaps only Franco who had made provisions for his demise and reinstalled a King to give the population a focal point. Tito made no provisions at all and the result was the worst form of Civil War imaginable, with, one has to remember, the defining of Ethnic Cleansing. Those countries were safe for law abiding people. Armed policemen patrolled most streets and their form of rule and law prevailed. The soft minded liberals infested the emergent countries with wholly unattainable ideals. Ideals that do not even work in a stable democracy like Britain. Why does Liberalism not work? Because there are those out there who wish us harm and the Liberal Elite cannot conceive such a truth.
