The 'Rats are fairly close to where they were in 1861 - defying the prevailing public opinion; their intent was to build a rational base for their plotted civil war. The die was cast when they fired on Fort Sumter.
I listened to Mayor Johnson of Chicago today; he insisted that 'we must band together to resist this invasion by the federal government!' Not the invasion of millions of non-American non-citizens who are grabbing all of the taxpayer benefits, benefits to help citizens in need, taken from them to make the lives of non-taxpaying foreigner dead beats comfortable, easier.
Of course that defies common political logic, BUT it defines the ground they are preparing to stand on for their new war with America.
That political party should have been outlawed in 1865 and should probably be outlawed now! They are clearly stating that they are not fighting for our Constitutional Republic - as they were also stating when they fired on Fort Sumter. They are fighting to defeat the federal government and establish a new state, a state where ONLY they rule - supreme. It is STILL about slavery (Mayor Johnson even alluded to it), the slavery of the real 'American people!'
They would be the same thing under a different name.
Very good comparison. And President Lincoln legitimately used the Insurrection act. Thus...
