Indeed, Jonah Goldberg in National Review said as much. He denied that we are in the midst of a civil war on two grounds: One is that it is not violent, and the other is that we are fighting a “culture war,” not a civil war.
This statement from Jonah Goldberg shows how ignorant of history he is. The 1st U.S. Civil War didn’t begin as a hot war. It simmered for decades as a political confrontation and power struggle within the Federal and State governments.
You can be critical of the President...and still not be a never trumper. Just ask kellyanne Conway’s husband...who has set off a firestorm that will likely have repercussions for his wife.
Btw..he is right in what he said...
That about sums it up. Trump offends the Republican country-club set. The trust fund babies. The American gentry. They prefer someone from "within the club".
But, but, but . . . Mr. Prager, you lost your target. It’s a war and you made it a personal defense.
In any case, Clausewitz saw military force as an instrument that states and other political actors use to pursue the ends of policy, in a dialectic between opposing wills, each with the aim of imposing his policies and will upon his enemy
Hence his,
"Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat the enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war. Pleasant as it sounds, it is a fallacy that must be exposed: War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst."
Goldberg is less well read than he imagines...
That’s it. And yet they didn’t mind a screeching Arkansas hack in a bad pantsuit being president. That was “classy” to them.
Or simply put “War is hell.”
And to think that “slavery” wasn’t the ultimate cultural object of war! That’s true even if you think it was a secondary reason for the war.
Goldberg, Krauthammer and many other of the Conservative pundits are really liberals. They just play the Conservative part on television.
Political punditry is entertainment. Someone has to play the liberal, someone has to play the conservative.
BTTT
He does..but at a certain point he has got to understand the lawyers have a point. Look at the bio of kellyanne Conway’s husband.
He used a twitter account that has been dormant to come out and criticize trump...And mentioned how lawyers agree with him.
He withdrew himself from joining the admin...and then publicly blasted trump...but still supports him
He has confirmed it is his twitter account
Now..what are the chances that trump will stop and think and pay attention .....
None
Kellyanne will not remain unscathed from what her husband did
Goldberg is a loser punk poseur, like a lot of the pretend "conservatives" out there.
They'd be HAPPY to be eating Hilly the Felon's excrement as she appointed Lefty after Lefty to the Supreme Court.
Jonah and his snotnose loser punk buds would be able to revel in their loser status for years and years - instead of being on the Winning Team, with President Trump.
The fact is they are not “Conservatives” they are Bushies.
Goldwater-Regan were American Nationalists. The Bush family dominance of the GOP for the last 30 years corrupted the GOP with the disease of Globalism. Trump is a turn back towards the Reagan-Goldwater Conservatism and a rejection of the Bush family’s Globalist viewpoint.
Those claiming to be “Movement Conservatives” aren’t really Conservatives, they are merely Bushites.
That may be..with some exceptions..but it doesnt change the fact that trump should be taking a hard look at what kellyanne’s husband said and taking it to heart
But he didnt...
His latest tweets are snowballing Conway’s comment
I suspect that he often doesn’t take the advice of Bannon’s war room.
A Hillary victory would be a global catastrophe. I imagine the cost would be as high as or higher than when Europe entered the Dark Ages - literally a thousand years of deterioration, cultural and intellectual retreat, decay, disease, and never-ending war on a Biblical scale.
My prayer (which I am not optimistic will be granted) is that President Trump will change the political landscape so much that the West will be able to withstand the next globalist totalitarian liberal to take power. That's a high bar to clear. Even though Trump is the best choice for the job, I still have very little confidence that he can do it. I expect our future to be indescribably ugly unless President Trump can pull off a miracle.
Those in power don't want the established order to be upset. They're too invested in it. The elites see the public as below them, and in 2016, like in most elections, they offered up what they thought of as a "choice", which is to say no choice at all, but maintenance of their power thru fear and division of the people. The elites fully expected the "choice" in 2016 would be between Clinton and Bush. Our very own version of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. A fake choice between two sides of the same coin.
It is almost obscene what the elite attempted to foist on the American people. Certainly on the Democrat side they succeeded by rigging the election so severely Clinton could not lose. Between their pre-weighted super-delegates (those who paid the biggest "contribution") to the duplicate poling places for Clinton to help re-weight the vote tally in states like NY, they did everything they could to turn the election process into a sham in representational government. Both the Dems and Republicans are guilty of this, putting their power and control over the interests of the people. It's just by some miracle Trump, by playing an unpredictable and unconventional game, broke thru and destroyed Bush.

If the other side succeeds in their efforts to remove President Trump, the blowback is going to make the first Civil War look pretty tame.
The biggest point would be: "Why bother voting any more - since the Media and the Deep State will just 'remove' your candidate if he or she wins? See: Ted Stevens, Alaska, and many others."
Compare McCarthy on the front line: on target: "What does Theresa May know about Islam such that she can decide what is a perversion of it? Precious little, I’d wager. Otherwise, she’d not babble on about “Islamist extremism,” a term right out of the Department of Redundancy Department.
Have they expanded their voice. I was watching a Breitbart video link to a NBC panel discussion, iirc, and there was Bill Kristol.
Yeay Dennis. I have been harsh on him at the beginning of the campaign. Unlike almost all others talkers he came around to the idea of Trump as president pretty early if I recall correctly
