Right . . . N B Forrest had nothing but love for non-whites and those of the jewish faith. . .Right

I'd hate to live in a country that believed what he did about self-determination.

He didn't hate non whites or Jewish, he didn't give a rats fanny about what they do.  The reason he formed the klan was because of the carpet baggers coming in from the north raping and pillaging the south after the war.  In the beginning it was a noble organization stopping the activities of the northern groups coming in stealing everything around.  Then when they went to lynching, he called for the dissolution of the Klan as it had lost its honor.   
BTW his slaves fought for the south of their own free will.  He gave his slaves their freedom for their service.

I've got a rebuttal, but have better things to do at the moment.

Flint, what in the article that Red posted was linked to a racist organization? 

[Varmit]

one thing he doesn't address in the article is the fact that if this were to happen, there would be a secession of states that would provide the needed organization and command structure. 

I disagree.  I think that one of the first things that the federal gov't would do is to activate the national guards units, so their goes alot of the command and control the states could provide. Don't forget that it would be in the interest of state leaders to comply with federal mandates. I know that alot of service members would defect, but alot of others would not.  But even with the addition of military personnel to the patriots ranks, it would still take a while to get organized.  It would be in the interest of Patriots to organize, preplan, set up a logistics plan of operations, establish safe houses and fall back points, means of communication, etc. before this happened.

Theres a multitude of folks that have bug out supplies stashed for that very reason.     6 months worth of food, ammo and rations stored in various locations    And with the ability to be mobile with PDA's and other hand held devices for communication, they will have little trouble keeping in communication.

Flint-

You can call me a political descendant of Nathan Bedford Forrest.
You won't offend me.  I'd be quite pleased with the honor, even
with it coming from the left.  Thank you.
