The U.S. Constitution and civil war

The left is pushing for civil war.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What’s interesting is if you read about the lives of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, you’ll find out the Democrats of today are a hell of a lot more racist than Lee and Jackson ever were.

The first shots in the United States Civil War were fired by the South during an attack on Fort Sumter a century and a half ago on April 12, 1861,

Union fired first shots at Fort Pickens January 8, 1861.

The civil war is here.

It started just like the last one. A President who is hated by the Democrats won election despite their opposition and just a few weeks after his inauguration the first shots were fired and blood was shed.

When this civil war finally concludes it will necessitate the legal end of the Democrat Party and the prohibition of Marxism and collectivism.

These things have demonstrated that they are anathema and openly hostile to the principles of a Constitutional republic.

The Constitution provides sufficient political and legislative processes, if wisely used, to implement necessary changes and enough judicial safeguards to prevent Federal overreach in doing so

Yeah, right. When do we start forming state infantry regiments?

[ALongRoadAhead]

About the same time hell not only freezes over but has a blizzard, pigs fly higher than a 747 and universal suffrage is overturned by the Supreme Court.

28 eight days? Noob.

Union fired first shots at Fort Pickens January 8, 1861.

Flordia seceded on January 10. How could those be the first shots of the war if Florida was still a state in the Union at the time?

[Uncle Sam 911]

Ask those advocating for the removal of statues to traitors how they feel about California secession. You might get a different answer there.

[DoodleDawg]

You know what? Never mind. I withdraw my question.

[GingisK]

Only we can prevent another civil war. Will we?

Should we?

I've about have enough of those commie scums.

Dan’s a GOOD blogger; he posts the whole article instead of just a tease. So I’ll give him a click and check back from time to time for other stuff of interest.

I gave you a link. Why can you not read it?

According to Lee,
There is a terrible war coming, and these young men who have never seen war cannot wait for it to happen, but I tell you, I wish that I owned every slave in the South, for I would free them all to avoid this war.

Most likely, that is another fake quote.

I did read the link. And I also decided I didn't want to go down another rabbit hole with your wacky conspiracy crap. That's why the second post withdrawing my question.

Horse Hockey!

The Constitutions means NOTHING without the force of a gun. Civil War took place in spite a constitution, in direct conflict with the plain wording of same, and was only resolved under force of the gun.

That states want to secede will be met with force to remain is without question. The problem is, both sides want to compel the other to live their way.

The issue is then, do YOU want to live under rules anathema to your character, spirit and G-d given rights?

Me neither.

” . . .with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”

Not since the 17th Amendment.

There’s an interesting discussion of the quote here: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/why-do-some-people-claim-the-civil-war-was-fought-over-slavery.25608/page-20 including a convincing comment that claims it as a paraphrase:

“This appears to be a paraphrase from the following book written after Lee’s death: John William Jones, Personal Reminisences, Anecdotes, and Letters of General Robert E. Lee ( New York: D. Appleton, 1875), 138”

The relevant reference from the book mentioned above:

Nothin personal meant t'wards you, Macoozie. Just sayin'.

"..with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor..”

Yeah, as long as it doesn't interfere with the kid's soccer schedule or some jaggov's favorite TV show.
Work? Anybody wanna be "that guy" to get canned for insurrectionist "hate speech"? i.e. The Truth?
I'm really curious to see just what it takes to "set this f***ker off".
Lawdy knows they're tryin. But then again, I don't see anything close to the crap I see on the TeeVee and read about here anywhere around my AO. Us rednecks and the colored folk all gather at Casey's for prime Southern Cookin' and nobody sweats the schtoopit stuff.. Very cordial. Dunno WTF that smack they're talkin on the tube even means.

Don't piss in my grits, cuz. d;^)
