I usually don't have time to read edits...nor do I learn much...usually I conclude that I could have written it myself in an echo chamber. This was a smooth read. Hey, it was in an email my mom sent me.

When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship. Your very own dictatorship .

A dictatorship is exactly what today's Democrats seem to want.

They will cheat so they always win the elections.

Words have meaning.
Arguing and straining rules does not a civil war make.
Killing political opponents (beyond the rare nutcase) to compel submission does.

Excellent reading.

Unlike a lot of Freepers, the last thing I want is a Civil War.

A lot of my ancestors died during the last civil war, and many including the ones, who were mothers or became mothers during and after the war died in their 20-30’s. My Dad’s mother died when she in her mid 20’s and apparently had poor health.

However, the left wingers who control DC and our government have declared civil war on us as this excellent writer tells us.

Rather than view it as another Civil War, I like to think we would be fighting another Revolutionary war.

We could even use the same Declaration of Independence, just adding a few grievances to the list and addressing it to the Federal Government instead of King George.

Re-ratify the constitution and roll back a bunch of the amendments that never should have been passed.

I think Wall Street and Silicon Valley need far less revenue.

Avoid buying mutual funds and certain products and services.

Our votes will be drowned out by illegals, but our dollars in our wallets and purses can speak loud and clear.

Lets not forget that a true civil war is a violent contest to control the central power of the state; eg Mao v Chaing in China or Lenin v the Whites in Russia. A civil war is not a war of secession, that is a struggle by a part of a country to withdraw from a national union and form a separate government. If violence had occurred, the dissolution of the USSR would have constituted a war(s) of succession. By this reasoning, the conflict in the US between 1860-1865 was not a true civil war but was a war of succession, as Jefferson Davis had no intention of marching on Washington and replacing Lincoln.

We are in a Civil War in which only one side is fighting.

If a poll was ever conducted with the question “Is our two party system working” ? The response would be 90% negative. What is being employed by This so called coup d’etat against Trump should not be viewed as against Trump but an impeachment of our constitution. .

Everything the man has attempted to get done has been blocked by a radical group composed mainly of members of the democrat party in top leadership legislative and judicial branches of government who view the constitution as an obstacle to their concepts of government intrusion on individdual liberty guaranteed by it as they advance their policies.

Don’t forget the re-education work camps for opponents.

Thank you. This is an attempt to define
Civil War down and strip if of meaning.
When the actual war comes, it will be
more than words.

Although, some say we are already in a
Civil War involving killing that only
one side is waging.

“Unlike a lot of Freepers, the last thing I want is a Civil War“

It’s likely the only way I’ll be able to get rid of the lazy left wing bastard living next door.

When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.”””

If Trump wins next election the left will meltdown. If he loses I doubt I’ll be able to believe he wasn’t cheated. The guns gonna start in ‘20...

OK, OK, it’s Snopes; but Snopes says it’s not by Dr. Minzey, and is a mishmash of several viral emails.

........

I know what you are saying, however, when analyzed, you are wrong.

Both sides are fighting...you are giving the traitor side, (McConnell, Ryan, most of our R-congressmen, R-senators), credit for being on our side, but they really are on the traitor, the Coup-side.

Our side, like you, me, PDJT, Nunes, etc., are fighting the civil war with the Left, commies, MSM, etc.

Semantics, but I had to correct it. thanks!

Playing Cowboys and Democrats could be interpreted as a Civil War.
