How Many Members Of The U.S. Congress Are Self-Declared Socialists?
Yeah, we need crisp cogent definitions if we are to win this battle ... sheese ...

Re: point about being distracted.
My guess is that Zer0 will manufacture an international crisis so he will look patriotic and have all the Dems and GOP join him looking the same. Symbolically, like 9/11 when we were all Americans.
While he is busy engaging his “crisis”, the healthcare becomes less visible and is quietly being implemented with less opposition.
Prager’s “Liberals” are partly old fashioned liberals (what we would call a centrist Republican now) and partly a figment of his imagination (Prager once opined that Jimmy Carter governed as a Liberal). Still, the yet to be enlightened Americans will better understand what’s going on if they are called Left.
I’m getting irritated at the overuse of the term “civil war”.
Law-abiding rhetoric isn’t.
Terminology means something. The Lefties knew this for years. We are not in a collegial setting now.
Remember “Moral Equivalent Of War”? (MEOW)
And it wasn’t we conservatives who declared the war.
Great post.
Bummer says he is looking at jobs now.
This, being something actually constructive, is something he is much less likely to succeed at. Don’t look for bipartisan hosannas over this.
Pray aloud--- and cry out to the Living God, for forgiveness of our many national sins -- and deliverance from dark forces that have usurped authority -- and threaten our liberties.
*******
Just food for thought...
Nah. None of those steps will work. God gave his formula for such things in 2 Chronicals 7.
If Christians will
1) Humble themselves
2) Pray
3) Seek God’s face
4) Turn from their wicked ways
Then He’ll heal our land. That’s it. The fact that all this is happening is proof that we’re failing to do all of those 4 things.
RESIST: To Name A Few Actions You Can Take: Defy every state directive. Withhold every dollar from government. Stop spending. Stop buying. Stop donating. Resign from volunteer groups. Withdraw from all banks. Resist passively. Drive very slow. Report any infraction by a democrat to the police. Stop liberal subscriptions.
Government itself is not the enemy. The enemy is people who seek to misuse government.
“I’m getting irritated at the overuse of the term ‘civil war’. Law-abiding rhetoric isn’t.”
Agreed.
In fact, I would use “misuse” instead of “overuse”.
IMO, the issue is more a matter of “defending the Consitution” rather than civil war.
Keep talking like that and you will become a passive couch potato.
I believe that you are cautious. However, more and more of us are recognizing that we have been unwilling participants in a civil war that has been waged against us in the name of tolerance and diversity and justice.
We have not recognized that while we thought that we were just in disagreement, the other side had declared war on us.
Pardon my confusion; which/whose incarnation of that phrase do you refer to?
It’s a popular notion, but failing actual “boots on the ground”, this isn’t. It’s not the moral equivalent thereof. The only anecdote that _could_ fit the concept was the “Cold War”, which could have gone hot in 30 minutes flat from any moment - not as a matter of rhetorical theory, but because fingers were on triggers waiting only for the command.
Heck, what’s being discussed doesn’t even reach the level of “civil disobedience”. For all the “I won’t comply” rhetoric, I await the tunes years hence when we finally meet “pay the fine or go to jail”. 99.999% will continue following the rules/laws, talking as if that’s something special.
I’m not advocating anything, just lamenting the neutering of all “CWII” stands for.
While Left implies more government, they need to be tied more firmly to ideas that establish government planning and control.
Thanks for the link. Search must be malfunctioning.
