How about when "they" force them on your kids?

And they do it at YOUR expense!

I choose divorce and hope that it is an amicable one.... This can not go on...we just can’t live with them anymore.

Well said.

We are mocked and belittled by the media,...

This cannot be overemphasized. We have a free press, but not even close to a fair press.

“Does he work for the Gov? On SS? SSI? Gov pension?”

Government informant? These insidious new Red Flag laws will make a lot of people into snitches.

This was inevitable once the original constitution was overthrown, the federal government broke free of all the restraints placed upon it and the states were reduced from being constitutional actors in their own right to being little more than administrative conveniences entirely subordinate to imperial Washington in all things.

If in our system we no longer allow Alabama to be Alabama and Vermont to be Vermont....that is two very different states with different histories, worldviews and laws, if we force everybody into one federal straitjacket, then everything is inevitably going to become a very nasty fight to determine which of our two broad “tribes” gets to impose its worldview on the other. That is exactly the situation today.

This has been inevitable since Appamattox. It was entirely foreseeable.

Robert E Lee in response to Lord Acton:
“I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and the people not only essential to the adjustments and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.”

The Left and Right certainly have differences regarding (the size of) government, taxes, etc., but I think the real difference is the lack of God on the Left. I’m not judging anyone’s salvation — that’s for God — but it’s obvious the path the Left have chosen, and it’s not following Judeo/Christian values.

If we allow the Left to take over this country, we will most definitely reap what we’ve allowed to be sown. With all that said, I don’t want to see America split. We’ve come a loooong way as a country and we’re not through yet.

Contrary to what the mass media and social media would have us believe, Americans have a lot of tolerance for diversity in thought...it’s what makes us great, just don’t force your thoughts on me, and I won’t force mine on you.

Some Americans, perhaps...by no means all. To paraphrase the late, great Bill Buckley, Libs are all for diversity of opinion...until they find it.

I believe you're engaged in wishful thinking, dreaming of an America which no longer exists.

Owns his own business. Does well for himself. So I also ask him - "are you wiling to pay more taxes too??"

Like I said, its very strange.

When the Berlin Wall came down, it was all forgotten...The chances are good that Trump will be seen as a great President.

You're smokin' something, right? The left still HATES Reagan and they HATE Trump. They'd choose suicide before giving them credit.

And give us Nevada, and the following counties in CA: Orange, San Diego, Riverside, Imperial and San Bernardino. We do want a port on the Pacific with the rail lines to Texas...

“our obligation is to see that it does not turn to blows.”

No, our obligation is to see that Evil does not win. To shrink from blows is inexcusable cowardice.

That's all true, but only reflective of the time in which it was written. Most do not understand the impact of technology - in any era.

The Roman's got the jump on everyone with advanced metalurgy. It provided the means for not just weapons, but agricultural tools that greatly expanded yields and supported ever larger populations, many of whom then joined the legions. Yet they relaxed and rested on their laurels, instead of continuing to focus on firearms and other implements that would have allowed them complete control.

OK, back to today. Genetic research is yielding key clues into manifestations of gene expressions that influence everything from physical shape & appearance to intelligence and cognitive abilities. I think many would agree that the basis of our political divide is based on race & IQ. Solve these two issues, and the primary differences evaporate.

In a free market driven by both elective and selective gene therapies, which standard(s) of beauty and intelligence will predominate? The world isn't going to become more diverse; rather, the future suggests everyone will look & act the same.

The globalists still control most of the GOP.
Until we wrest control of at least one party from them, they will continue to swamp US (US citizens) with fraudulently documented foreigners.

2020. Vote for and elect progressives and we will defer your $150,000 student loan debt payments you spent on a car, spring breaks in Florida, furniture, booze, weed, and a lousy college education you could have gotten at the public library for free.

However, have you ever contemplated the cost of a civil war in the twenty first century? Something to think about anyway.

What if Civil War II resulted in the same ratio of casualties to population as Civil War I?

In that case the number of dead and wounded today would be more than 11 million.

CIVIL WAR I

US Population In 1860: 32 million (approx)
Civil War Dead: 625,000(approx)
Civil War Wounded: 475,000 (approx)
Total Civil War Causualties (Dead & Wounded) 1,100,000
Civil War Causualties As Percent of 1860 Population 3.44%

CIVIL WAR II

US Population In 2017: 326,000,000 (approx)
3.44% Of 2017 Population: 11,171,875

“Let’s fight it out over time at the ballot box”

That’s how it works. So we need to be very concerned with who gets to vote.

Unfortunately, I don't see any way out of a civil war. It's a great thought to be able to peacefully separate, but that is fantasy.

So here is what you do:

1. Write down three names of men you thoroughly know, implicitly trust, and who are like-minded.

2. Meet in private and ask them to each bring in three men of the same ilk.

3. Keep repeating the process. It's your new hobby.

4. Choose activities to meet. Bowling, fishing, shooting, whatever.

5. Keep EVERYTHING off the internet. I said everything. Your communication is sneakernet, SIGNAL and burner phones that were purchased in cash from another county from a mom and pop store.

Congrats. You just formed a militia that cannot be detected and cannot be penetrated.

The solution is obvious. We retake our country then use a foolproof test to determine who the leftists are who caused this problem then give them all frontal lobotomies of a sort. Find that part of their brain that’s damaged and burn it out. If they survive they will hopefully be intelligent enough to do the menial labor work needed like gathering shopping carts, picking up trash along the roads, clean toilets, etc. etc.

They can’t be re-trained into normal thinking people so this kind of radical action must happen. Plan B is they all are forced to emigrate to a country of their choosing who will accept them. I’m sure much of Europe would be interested rather than take the cavemen/women from Syria and Africa.

The fact is these people have been brainwashed from an early age. There really is no fixing them so something radical must happen to correct it. Plan on going to war with them within a generation. They will never give up. If it were up to me; Plan A would be the best option but give them the option of Plan B.
