All free people have to preserve their freedom, it will be constantly attacked, or it will be taken away from them and they will live as a slave. Churchill’s words come to mind (the three phases of war) you can fight when you are virtually assured victory, or you will fight when victory is in doubt, the last option is when victory is not possible (live free or die was once more than a state motto). The first two phases can be (and should be) political in nature, the last can be only resistance (violent or nonviolent) which will assure ones death or incarceration. Each individual, and the people as a whole, have to decide the value of their freedom and what is necessary to safeguard it.
I find it interesting that your reply goes directly to civil war. Reminds me of the quote about impeachment being the alternative to assignation. The view by a media pundit that assignation was unthinkable and therefore so was impeachment. This person did not understand that laws have to be present/and enforced to not only discourage unlawful acts but make them unnecessary. About your prediction, I regard as having the value of a warm bucket of spit (another quote). I have known Old Sarges and Old Chiefs and you sound like neither.
Then you can’t have known many of either.
You are nothing more than yet another Internet Rambo with delusions of mock heroism, filled with the romantic notions of rebellion against authority.
Face the facts. Conservatism as a political group has been set back forty years, and neither you nor I will see its ascendancy again.
