I have a feeling the guy who wrote this is itching for a shooting Civil War. I hate the "left" as much as anyone on FR, but thinking that the Left is unified in any stance, platform, or opinion is as ridiculous as thinking the Right is, and that doesn't make for the kind of passion that explodes into outright hostilities. The battle lines of this fantasy Civil War II will be very fuzzy indeed.

You evidently don't know Dennis Prager.
I have known and respected Dennis' intellectual and philosophical approach to societal problems for at least ten years.
Three years ago, I would have said it is unthinkable to hear stuff like this from him.

I think it is uprecedented and remarkable, when these ideas finally penetrate the minds of what are mainly thinkers, and outstanding well-prepared, educated well-traveled and historically aware commentators.

HG, you could not be more wrong. Prager talks about the American "cold civil war" every day on his radio show for the same reason I spent three years researching and writing EFAD. We both are trying to point out just how close the left and right are to a head-on collision today, because we want to avoid the violent collision while there is stil time.

Put another way: we are both lookouts on the Titanic, screaming ICE AHEAD! while there is still time to turn the ship.

Of course, some will say, "why are you shilling that book again," or "Prager must want a civil war, he talks about it all the time."

The Captain of the Titanic probably said, "What are those fools in the crow's nest screaming about now? Someone tell them to shut up."
