Something that some people don’t understand, is that it isn’t just about the killing, it is about the dying as well.

Liberals look at it as a match between the two armories and numbers and organization and political power and training, etc.

What they don’t see is how an argument within a nation changes as the government wins the battles, but loses a war.

Arms mean that the people die dearly, loudly, and in large numbers, over a longggg, sustained period of time.

Under those conditions scenarios change, there isn’t a straight line anymore with all results determinable from the starting balance sheet.

Exactly.

Millions are willing to kill for socialism.

Many fewer will die for it.

You think the Taliban are fierce fighters! Get the American people angry and you will unleash a force that will make them appear like a Sunday school picnick. Think Irish Republican Army on Steroids. Suicide bombings, Railroad de-railings, Power towers pulled down, assassinations, why we Americans INVENTED Terrorism! Look at the tactics used in the early Labor movement? Look at the KKK in the south, Look at the Gangsters in Prohibition. If angered the American people will become un-governable. The government might own the cities—but the countryside will belong to the Partisans. All the drones in the world can stop this from ripping away the infrastructure— Liberals are fools to think otherwise—and they haven’t studied history.
