Civility, Civil War, and the Future of Our Civilization
American Greatness ^ | 13 Oct 2018 | Michael Walsh

Hillary Clinton, the most vengeful, spiteful loser in the history of American electoral politics, has abandoned the Left’s always deceptive, now evanescent call for “civility.” She insists there can be no civility between the parties until the Democrats are restored to power—and, by extension, the Republicans are vanquished.

“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour last week. “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”

These are fighting words, and in more ways than one. But first, let’s stop to examine the extraordinary ignorance she evinces here.

Battling between the parties is almost as old as the republic itself, but the vast majority of the actual violence has always come from the Democrats. Aaron Burr, the proto-Democrat and founder of Tammany Hall, shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. In 1856, on the eve of the Civil War, Republican Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts was nearly beaten to death by Democrat Preston Brooks of South Carolina, presaging the bloody events to come. John Wilkes Booth, an ardent Southern Democrat, assassinated Abraham Lincoln just days after Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses S. Grant. Even after the war ended, the Democrats waged a long rearguard action against the Union, including creating the Ku Klux Klan to beat and murder newly freed black Americans.

And what will they get? Their very own Horst Wessel political martyr? Or will we “Deplorables” discover that it’s possible to shoot back and survive afterward?

“And what will they get? Their very own Horst Wessel political martyr?”

They will spin, spin, spin, and lie, lie, lie, until they create a narrative that the awful right-wingers were the aggressors, and this proves blah, blah, blah. You know how it goes. Naturally, their co-conspirators in the media will be all-in on this.

“Or will we “Deplorables” discover that it’s possible to shoot back and survive afterward?”

Will the shooter survive? The forces of evil will tell any lie, make any threat, pay any bribe to send the shooter to prison.

They are not invincible and they are not immortal. They are flesh and bone and blood like anyone else.

Well, yes, but what are you going to do?

Not only is she correct tat the Trump revolution is destroying everything she and her fellow Marxists believe in, but the Trump revolution is astoundingly effective in doing so. Progs are left with nothing except anger, frustration, rage and violence. It all leads to their final destruction and the renewal of civility in our culture.
Democrat winning will not restore civility. Only the demolition of the democrat party will restore civility.

That’s the big question. So far, we can only act by reacting, and the law is not always on our side as in Portland. You can’t go hunting down Antifa’s, you have to wait until they are trying to kill you or overturn your car before you can deploy deadly force.

And since we Deplorables are law-abiding by nature and Antifa’s by nature are not, it further handicaps us. We have weapons and know how to use them, but circumstances have to absolutely support the use of them.

Be situationally aware and be armed, what else is there to do?
