Dr. Jack Minzey on Civil War in U.S. Today
….Jack passed away Sunday, 8 April 2018.
Professionally, Jack was head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University, as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein.
This is the last of his works:
Civil War
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can't settle the question through elections because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country.
When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There's a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don't accept the results of any election that they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections. That's a civil war.
There's no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government
This isn't dissent. It's not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election.
When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship. Your very own dictatorship .
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it's inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can't scratch his own back without his say so, that's the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that's not the system that runs this country. The Democrat's system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He's a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can't do anything. He isn't even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has 'discretion' to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn't even have the 'discretion' to reverse him. That's how the game is played That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn't yet won that particular fight.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission but, under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can't serve in if you're not a member. If you haven't been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren't in the club with him.
Now we're seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them, and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down. That's not a free country.
It's not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against Trump winning the election. It's not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It's not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It's not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn't supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.
OK, OK, it’s Snopes; but Snopes says it’s not by Dr. Minzey, and is a mishmash of several viral emails.
...
Good work...it’s still good reading, so I don’t care who wrote it. Cheers!
We used to shoot Commies, now we Elect Commies.

Hold on...I replied too fast...Snopes???
That is a Left wing wacko site...they’d not want to have a professor being conservative...so I doubt Snopes.

The dims and their media demanded that Trump accept the results of the election before it happened, now they have not and will not accept the election results because they lost.
And I agree, IF Trump loses in ‘20 it will be to massive voter fraud and there will be a lot of people who won’t accept the results of the election.
After that, I cannot predict.
If you want to see the government the Democrat Party wants, watch the HBO miniseries “Chernobyl”. It’s all right there.
Well, maybe you’ll accept the site TruthOrFiction, which also says it’s misattributed to Minzey:

Can’t be too many civil wars that happen in countries where the poorest are the most likely to be obese and are the most entertained poor people ever.
Both sides seem poised to not accept negative results. But eligible voters that choose not to vote will still outnumber either party’s turnout. To a large number of people, it’s just not that important. I wonder what eligible voter turnout is before civil wars break out in democratic countries.

Now that sounds like a good idea
I’d rather have a civil war than a corrupt spying, unfair, unjust, unequal justice government...
The thing about this President, is that he fights!
McCain endorsed his opponent BEFORE he lost the election. Romney had Obama on the ropes after the first debate, but he refused to bring up Benghazi and Obama's record forcefully, and with clarity during subsequent debates. In the future, if the Republican's nominate another milquetoast candidate, why should we bother to vote?
Now, I hope President Trump won't crash the economy with the tariff wars before the election.

Ok if he didn’t write it what changes? So what.
It's up to all of us not to post fake news attributed to a real person, and one who was very accomplished and probably has a living family.
You are aware that JimRob has been through various lawsuits from things people posted, right?
My impression is that he and Hilary only come together for pubic occasions.
Yeah, that is the real truth. I remember her buying this place; and, I think she and Huma lived there. Bill lived in the Chappaqua house where he was having an affair with some woman who lived in the neightborhood. Plus, I believe she/they own a condo in NYC. Also, Chelsea and her hubby have a luxury apartment in NYC.
That fraud of a foundation provided a lot of the funding for their lifestyle.
...
Good grief, still at it...just shoot me and my mom for sending it to me...we are guilty...I’ll fetch a rope. I’ll check mom mom’s email log, too, to see whom else we need to track down to hang.
A simple acknowledgment on the thread that Dr. Minzey was not the author would have sufficed.

I posted a good read. You or mod could have done that with much less pomp and circumstance. You’ve made the point, so what.
Uh, the mods don’t read every thread. It’s up to readers to report the fake news. I didn’t report it, but you’re still complaining?
Maybe someone will start a big viral mess sometime and attribute it to you, claiming it’s a part of your careful life’s research, If you actually do any careful research, or any thoughtful work at all. If you did, you might then understand what it is to have false info out there in your name.
Until then, farewell to you.

Ok
You don’t have to read my posts.
It could turn hot at any time.
LOL! (I have a very strange sense of humor...)
Rednecks and leftists at 400 yards, the left won’t have a chance.
