CNN POLL: Whites give president thumbs DOWN 61%-36%; Non-White thumbs UP 67%-32%...

What is the possibility of major race riots nationwide, or something worse than race riots. Could America face a Rodney King-like backlash on a country-wide scale?

After MLK was assassinated, there were riots in D.C., and pockets of disturbances throughout the United States, but could something far worse be on the horizon if Obama loses the 2012 election?

CNN Poll: Obama ranks low among recent incumbents

p.s. how the hell do you spell ractial, racial, wtf??

I think it' s a big drop in the "Minority" side from nearly 90% bammy had in the election. I think quite a few of folks are starting to leave the "plantation".

I do think the urban areas will see racial unrest but I hope in flyover country it won't be to bad.

I agree MW I couldn't vote for mcain even though I knew Obama would be a complete disaster as a President. If the repubs think Romney is their guy that's on them. I still won't vote for him! If Obama goes completely full retard as I expect in a second term perhaps folks will wake up. Protest vote and meekly accept what the RNC gives you. Not for me, I think it was P.J O'Rourke said  "Don't vote! It just encourages the bastards." 

I will vote locally to make my city, county and state as strong as I can but I will not buy into the crap idea of anyone but Obama. I see Newt as a VP but not as president, I had hopes for Cain but he is imploding. I'll vote for Paul even with his naive foreign policy because I think he may do well domestically.

It's a terrible solution, but it's the best I can do at this time.

Mittens is a great politician and he's got great hair but he is a Wall St. guy from jump. Do you think he will regulate his buddies? At least Ron Paul may introduce legislation against the insider trading, killing the Fed and daring congress to vote against it.  

JH:

but electing another will slow down the process. Even Ron Paul doesn't advocate your plan. It may be possible to work within the republican party and change it but building the libertarian party into a viable alternative is not going to happen….too far to go and not enough time. So go ahead and vote for Obama by default if it makes you feel better. I'll work with what I have,not what I wish I had. 

Electing another will not slow down the process. What evidence can you possibly have to say that? Did Bush slow down the process 01-05? What about 05-09? Ha! a laughable consideration!

Second, Ron Paul doesn't advocate my plan for what? He has said in no uncertain terms that he won't support THEE GOP candidate unless they are on his side of the major issues: military intervention: NO, Sound Money: YES Patriot Act: NO, Torture: NO and others. So, wrong again my furry friend.

I do not sanction the building up of any party, let alone the Libertarian party which I give no money or other support to. I'm against parties, per say. Working within the system to change it is a noble effort, the fruitfulness of which will most likely be measured by the propagation of the ideal of Liberty and the advancement and reestablishment of constitutional fundamentals NOT in successful elections. Why? Because the government is too far gone to be "fixed" within the confines of a system which not only allowed for but encouraged its decline.

Voting for Obama by default? You do realize, don't you, that Romney, Gingrich, Cain and the others are no more than a hair-breadth in difference from Barrack Hussein Obama?

If you don't know that, then you must be letting some preconceived, but comfortable, notion get in the way of truth.

P.S. Regarding the last line of your above quote… pragmatism does not become a Patriot. Observe the following quote:

"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." -Barry Goldwater
