My Turn: Make no mistake – President Trump is the enemy
Concord Monitor ^ | Feb. 20, 2017 | ARNOLD CODA

Posted on 02/20/2017 4:24:38 PM PST by HarleyLady27

In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar, governor of Gaul, and his legion forded the Rubicon, the dividing line between Gaul and Italy, and marched on Rome, thus declaring civil war.

Rome was the last of the free cities that had existed throughout the Mediterranean. They had vanished and finally only Rome, a republic, remained. Her people were free citizens of the republic, not subjects of a single ruler. The Roman Republic of a thousand years ended with Caesar’s invasion and the Roman Empire and rule of emperors – actually dictators – began.

The founders of our republic drew in part from the republican pillars of Rome as well as those of Athens and also from the Magna Carta in forming our country. They recognized the critical necessity of these and other imperatives to the construction and continuance of a democratic republic.

Donald Trump has crossed the Rubicon and has declared war on the republic of the United States. His goal is singular: disassemble our republic and remake it to his desire.

It’s not just nonsense. It’s sedition. It’s darn near treasonous. This person should be arrested.

I seen that...and there are enough nuts running around out there...

I was scared to death on Saturday at that rally, I don’t trust people and I sat here through all of it worried sick someone would do something bad, and then I thought:

“God doesn’t make mistakes, and He has His Hands on President Trump” and all that went away...

This Republic ended in 1865 when Abe Lincoln and the GOP established a tyrannical democracy and murdered the sons of the Founders.

Trump is a freedom fighter and champion for the American citizen/taxpayer.

HL27, I recommend that when you post obviously leftist articles like this that you include your critical comments in the original post.

Unfortunately, your ping post didnt appear until post #5. Some folks, who havent seen your ping post, have inferred that you agree with the article.

FRegards, D50FFE

Old Bob wouldn’t know a Republic if it came up and kicked him in the ass.

The Concord Monitor has been a far-left rag for years and years...Concord is a sewer of a town ruled by union thugs...the ‘crapitol’ of America’s nursing home, soviet Red Hampshire.

The Roman Republic of a thousand years ended with Caesar’s invasion ...

Idiot. Rome was founded 753 BC. He's short by 300 years. But, 1,000 years is a better sounding narrative, and pushing narrative is all that matters to Leftists.

What really happened to Flynn? He told Pence he hadn’t talked about sanctions to Russia but the transcript did indicate that he told his Russian counterpart that SANCTIONS would be looked at, which by the way is NOT illegal.

Could be Flynn didn't trust Pence...Pence is after all, a product of the GOPe...

A few liberals do realize that an internal coup by the bureaucracy is worse than Trump.

Yes, Trump is Dangerous, But the Unelected Deep State Trying to Overthrow Him Is Far Worse

President Lincoln forded all kinds of rivers starting with the Potomac, but I'll bet he's Mr. Coda's hero.

"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide." - Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address

I think he meant Obama.

We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” — Barack Obama, October 30, 2008

“We are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.” — Michelle Obama, May 14, 2008

Oh, for crying out loud.

Does nobody remember when George Stephenapolous worked for Bill Clinton.

I quote Georgie,

“We have crossed the Rubicon.”

He knew damn good and well what he was saying.

A member of the Clinton Administration.

A member of our government.
