On the other hand, it can easily be argued that the time for civility has long since passed. Civility, which I love greatly, is only of real value if both parties to an issue behave with civility. Since muslims and the left, et al do not, it is reasonable that conservatives do not.

Indeed, I find it hard to accept this extremist conservative view of civility.
If conservatives had to follow what many here espouse as civility, I wonder if we would still be British?
The civility this author espouses is one that was found in a culture based on faith in God. That culture was wiped away in the 1960’s onward. What is left is a vacuum and all of nature and God’s creation despises a vacuum.
Where there once was God, seven demons rush in.
