About the CWII Ping List

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.

Of course sometimes this is merely a figure of speech, such as "The Tea Parties are fighting a civil war for the heart of the GOP". This would not merit a CWII ping.

On the other hand someone saying something like "The events in California are reminiscent of what happened in Yugoslavia in the period proceeding the Civil War" would merit a ping.

FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.

The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII". Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

Aren’t some blue states trying to outlaw public display of the Don’t Tread On Me flag?

"particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people"

I would add another contributing factor to possible CWII- The censorship being imposed on conservatives by social media.

Rather than letting both sides vent, and work out their differences in the arena of ideas- the silencing of one side only serves to build up even more anger and resentment.

As for the democrat calling for forced gun confiscation- This is what the dems want-a disarmed public. Then they can impose their tyrannical, high tax, open borders, Socialist/Marxist government.

Our founders put in the 2nd Amendment as yet another check on the government. If only most people understood this 😞
