So much ferocity in some posters give me the feeling they are just itching to have shoot out with the Feds. Does anyone else around here get those vibes?

I think it's the feds that are itching to get into a shootout with the citizens. Ask DHS about that.

It's simple paranoia...when people get excited or fearful, their bodies produce a "rush" of adrenaline and that feels good. Then comes a craving for that feeling, and it takes more and more stimulation to reach that peak of pleasure. As the years pass and nothing happens, such people become the family eccentric and look foolish for having been so easily duped. Imagine how many children will be disappointed when dad passes and all they inherit is a stockpile of weapons and ammo. Woo hoo!
I certainly get that vibe. Many people around here seem to have a militia/survivalist mindset, love to spread conspiracy theories and think that compromise has no place in the democratic process - or at least, any compromise that might be asked of THEM. The other side can compromise EVERYTHING, and that's how it should be. Worst of all we have a POTUS who is a black man, and he actually had the audacity to win a second term. Talk about an uppity n-word! More than a few members of this forum are openly racist and this situation always is festering in their so-called brains.
Look at all the threads that appeared calling for secession in the wake of the November elections. There is a strong "coon hound" contingent here who get their world view from the Rush Limbaugh show and wouldn't recognize an impartial source of information if it was presented to them by the ghost of Robert E. Lee himself. These people feel ever more embattled as they watch the nation become more multi-racial and see systems of belief that run counter to their owr increasingly accepted by the rest of the country.
If all this weren't bad enough, the rise of the home schooling phenomenon has resulted in the blind leading the blind. Science is the work of the devil, math can be discarded for a $2 buck calculator, and literacy is irrelevant in the current age of electronics. Ayn Rand may be the goddess of libertarians and tea party types, but try to find a right winger who can even name her books, much less has read them. And speaking of literacy, our great Southern writers such as Thomas Wolf, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, etc. are read everywhere else in the Country except in the South, where intelligence and education is regarded with suspicion.
All of the above results in an enclave of fanatics, fearful of change, racist in outlook, and just itching to squeeze the trigger on a government that they feel is overly represented by the Blue States. Needless to say, if the Evil Government decided to clamp down on the American people, a few drones and a contingent or two of Navy Seals would do the job, but don't try to tell Bubba that.
