I believe that we have become two separate, hostile peoples within one national boundary. Nationality can be considered to be a combination of shared language, history, and culture with an attachment to a specific piece of land.

Speaking to Democrats and their allies farther to the Left who are included in all that follows; you find that they do not speak the same language as we do. Logic, cause and effect, and the very meaning of words in standard English are not there. Everything is filtered through Leftist cant and fabrication. Even the concept of there being a fact or evidence based reality is considered to be a “bourgeois construct” inferior to subjective reality. It is the closest thing to the Muslim concept of Taqiyya that I have seen in the West. Coupled with this is the automatic insistence that everything we say is a lie, while their most blatant lies have to be accepted in good faith. Failure to do so, is considered to be evidence of our own bad faith. And we go along with it.

You cannot honestly say that we share a history any longer. To Democrats, and their academic cadres; the United States is irredeemibly evil and the cause of all the harm that exists in the world. They share no belief in American exceptionalism, they reflexively support dictatorships and just as reflexively oppose American attempts to support Liberty.

Indeed, the love of an all powerful State and hatred of Liberty and individuality is the basis of the Democrat culture. The individual is nothing and only the intervention of the State in all aspects of existence can make life bearable. The Democrats view any faith in anything other than a special interest group controlled by them, or the State itself, with horror. Look at how they view religious faith of any western kind, the Constitution, or moral values.

They don’t even totally share the attachment to the same piece of land, as they are more than willing to accept and encourage the Reconquista of the western part of the United States by Mexico.

We have been engaged in a Cold Civil War for at least two generations. And we have been losing to the Left, publicly led by the Democrats. In part, our loss has been because we have not taken two of the critical steps in engaging in hostilities. First you have to realize that you are in a conflict. Second you have to identify the enemy, which I did.

[As for rules of engagement — 1. Weed out McCain and other RINOs. 2. Let’s fight in every district for every house seat!]
