It's a Civil War: What We Do Now

Prager wrote a good piece here.

[popdonnelly]

Prager is right on many counts. What he means is that we are in a national conflict over the future of our country. The Left and the Democrats (pretty much the same thing) have their agenda. If we oppose that agenda, then we must engage ourselves through all legitimate means to do something about it. And we must not give up.

[Diogenesis]

This does not need a civil war.

BRING DOWN THAT BILL

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

“Western thinking has become conservative:
the world situation should stay as it is at any cost;
there should be no changes. ....
The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support
from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see
communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them. In
our Eastern countries, communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat; it is zero
and less than zero. But Western intellectuals still look at it with interest and with
empathy, and this is precisely what makes it so immensely difficult for the West to
withstand the East.”
[Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn at the Commencement, 8 June 1978, Harvard University]

Thomas Jefferson would not be happy with Sunday’s actions.
WWTJD?

[MichiganConservative]

My only concern is what will our enemies do if the War restarts. I don’t believe AQ, Iran, North Korea will sit idly by.

You think they'd support the US Government?

I always figured it would be cheaper for them to sit by and let us kill ourselves, but they might pledge aid and support to The One.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“We defy this Unconstitutional act by not complying!”

Step # 1.

[dforest]

The non violent Iranians have not had too much luck with a non violent civil war. The other side has the guns, holds the power, and counts the votes.

That should tell us something about what is coming on the horizon.

[wolfcreek]

He forgot to mention that we are being prodded/coerced into committing more *violent* actions everyday of this man's presidency.

They WANT a showdown.

Don't poke the sleeping bear.

[Sloth]

Exactly. Abuse & robbery are not “non-violent” just because the victim chooses to acquiesce.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“but they might pledge aid and support to The One. “

If they do, we kill them all fast.

[MrB]

I’ve had a leftist ask me why, when I mentioned the fact that the free individuals of America were arming up to an extent never seen before, that I would advocate murder in order to fight the democrats’ policies.

They JUST DON’T GET IT, or, I believe, they are simply intentionally obtuse to the fact that anything the government does is with the inherent threat of killing those who won’t comply.

[roses of sharon]

A fine piece...except we have heard these same points for a over decade.

AND IT HAS FAILED.

We are facing ruthless SOB’s who HATE us...radicals who want us dead.

Does Dennis not know this?

[wmileo]

You are not going to turn the tide as long as we have 15% of the population in the entitlement class dedicated to OBAMA regardless of what he does. These same folks are not going top give up their free entitlements and government checks on abstract concepts such as principle and sacred honor. Also consider the fact that 20,000,000 new voters( illegal aliens with new amnesty laws) will be on the roles with free health care by the 2012 election.

Unless you are talking about a real shooting war, forget it! The scum who voted for OBAMACARE and the entitlement class are not going to let anyone vote this away in 2010. They have been waiting for decades to take this country down.

We all better get our minds clear as to what has to be done. Otherwise a lot of innocent Tea Party protesters are going to be gunned down this summer.

[MichiganConservative]

There were massacres before the revolutionary war. It might be time that the government will water the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots.

[Mygirlsmom]

Every movement needs a motto. I nominate this.

CHANGE IT BACK!!!!

[MrB]

The Social(ist) Democrats are more than willing to use force, ie, MURDER, to advance their agenda. How willing are we to resist with force as well?

A couple of points of clarification -
1) when using the force of government, the inherent threat of killing the non-compliant is always there.
2) “more than willing” - most leftists get a big ol’ stiffy at the thought of using the guns of government to punish and kill their ideological opponents.

[Travis McGee]

Prager is catching up to the harsh reality. But he’s still behind the curve.

[Dem Guard]

All good points. I was thinking about our schools again yesterday, and I was thinking conservatives have to be much more agressive in controlling our schools. We should really have a core agenda we want taught in our schools. We should also look at liberal and conservative school teachers and professors and demand parity in staffing with our public funds.

Like Waco?
