I used to listen to Dennis when I lived in California....... for many years. This piece reminded me why I did so.

[Travis McGee]

Even Dennis Prager is calling it a civil war now.

7. Acknowledge that we are in a non-violent civil war.

I write the words "civil war" with an ache in my heart. But we are in one. Thank God this civil war is non-violent. But the fact is that the left and the rest of the country share almost no values. The American value system and the leftist value system are irreconcilable. If the left wins, America's values lose. If American values prevail, the left loses. After Sunday's vote, for the first time in American history, one could no longer confidently believe that the American system will prevail. And if we don't fight for it, we don't deserve it.

“And if we don’t fight for it, we don’t deserve it.”

ain’t it the truth!

Our forefathers fought first with words and ideas and only when pressed and attacked was force used to repel the tyranny.
We must flood the net, the airwaves, the streets with these ideas. When we are pressed and attacked (and we will be if we are not silent) then and only then will force work in our favor.

It’s a Civil War: What We Do Now<>

Why does it have to be civil?

[WellyP]

Where is our PEACEFUL Pinochet?

[Williams]

Love Dennis Praeger, a gentleman and scholar.

More specific suggestions: Until we are militant about representation in the media and education on all levels, this will continue downhill. Most conservatives still just accept liberal domination there and it is killing us.

Thank God this civil war is non-violent.

It's only non violent because our side isn't using violence. I don't know what confiscation of liberty and property at the point of a gun is if not violence.

[ClearCase_guy]

we are in a non-violent civil war.

For now. This sitzkrieg will not last.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“7. Acknowledge that we are in a non-violent civil war.”

And herein is the problem.

Could we have won wars by being “non-violent?”

[Le Chien Rouge]

Conservatives are in a Cold War with the left.

I fear that it will soon turn HOT.

[Man50D]

We defy this Unconstitutional act by not complying!

[NewJerseyJoe]

I agreed with what was in this article -- NINE MONTHS ago. This advice is, unfortunately, dated and now irrelevant. There WILL be a civil war; Obama and his minions have guaranteed it.

I remember telling people, a year and a half ago, "there will be blood in the streets before this is over." Very dark times lie ahead.

[popdonnelly]

Prager is right on many counts. What he means is that we are in a national conflict over the future of our country. The Left and the Democrats (pretty much the same thing) have their agenda. If we oppose that agenda, then we must engage ourselves through all legitimate means to do something about it. And we must not give up.

[Diogenesis]

This does not need a civil war.

BRING DOWN THAT BILL

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
President Ronald Reagan

“Western thinking has become conservative:
the world situation should stay as it is at any cost;
there should be no changes. ....
The communist regime in the East could stand and grow due to the enthusiastic support
from an enormous number of Western intellectuals who felt a kinship and refused to see
communism's crimes. And when they no longer could do so, they tried to justify them. In
our Eastern countries, communism has suffered a complete ideological defeat; it is zero
and less than zero. But Western intellectuals still look at it with interest and with
empathy, and this is precisely what makes it so immensely difficult for the West to
withstand the East.”

Thomas Jefferson would not be happy with Sunday’s actions.
WWTJD?

[wolfcreek]

He forgot to mention that we are being prodded/coerced into committing more *violent* actions everyday of this man's presidency.

They WANT a showdown.

Don't poke the sleeping bear.

[roses of sharon]

A fine piece...except we have heard these same points for a over decade.

AND IT HAS FAILED.

We are facing ruthless SOB’s who HATE us...radicals who want us dead.

Does Dennis not know this?
