When George Santayana warned, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it” he did not mean exactly in every detail. We are not going to have a re-enactment of the War between the States.

It will IMO be far more like a counter revolution against abuses from the left. I.e., those who Steven Den Beste called tranzis, transnationals; against heavy-handed, lying gun grabbers -- going state-by-state after realizing a federal law ain't going to happen; ILLEGAL immigrant rights advocates pushing, pushing for more, more -- stirring some of the ILLEGALS to violence; enviro wackos pushing. pushing for more, more "rural cleansing" -- it almost sparked Lexington-west at Klamath Falls just a couple of years ago.

Maybe even the "angry white male" made famous by the movie Falling Down will re-appear not as a single unemployed engineer but as a mob in Falling Down, 2004 -- no, this won't be two armies squaring off. Nor will it be IMO a revolution against "the government." It's entirely up to the left's chicken hawk revolutinoaries in the media, the universities, etc. and how they manipulate their mindless minions.

It will be total and absolute chaos out of which will emerge a patriot-dictator, a Man on Horseback. The left will fail to "bring it all down, man."

I've wanted to see it since 1970. Many knew in those days the day would come when the New Left's war against America would have to be confronted. We are there. This is a war within a war. It is part of the war to protect our Republic from radical Islam. The left is an ally of any who would "bring it all down, man."

Yes! Exactly! If they can't bring on their fuzzy social utopia through the ballot box, they will do anything to wreck the present status quo, turning over the table and hoping that from the chaos they will emerge on top.

They won't.

I don't think that leadership of the sort or with the character of those who led the Confederacy either politically or militarily is there to do so today, but it's at least possible that it could develop, as such Confederate examples as Cleburne and Forrest did on that first go-around.

But that may be a mixed blessing, in that without such leadership, individual hotspots of conflict may particularly develop, and without a unified state or national command, it may get pretty difficult to get such things to abate once begun.

But I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see symbols of the Confederacy become rallying flags for some in the days to come. And possibly, the uniforms and unit designations and guidons of regiments from long ago as well.
