It’s amazing after just 8 years a corrupt outgoing President and losing candidate from the same party using the corrupt Government he created to destroy the elected President of another party
Here is another great article!
Another good explanation.
I’m not as eloquently spoken as some. I tend to wield a Warhammer when I’m talking heh.
I’ve always stated that war was about consolidating power in DC. Then the usual suspects come out yelling about slavery.

“Again, you’ve got to have the first “civil war” before you can have the second one. Technically a civil war involves an attempt to take over the government. The South never attempted that. It attempted to act on the belief that their states were sovereign and had every right to form their own union or confederacy. At no time did they attempt to take over the existing government.
Words are supposed to have meaning. The historians from the side that won the War Between the States termed Civil War because they don’t want people to remember or to know the truth. That it wasn’t a “civil war.”””
Very very important post! Many thanks!
How many of them are there? How many of them will be willing to fight, or simply throw monkey wrenches in the works when we win?
We are close to winning. Another Supreme Court justice and maintaining majorities in the House and Senate in the mid-terms, and we will have effectively won, at least for several years, just as the left came very, very close to a decisive win with a Hillary election.
There was opposition to FDR, but it never amounted to much. He effectively won the FDR revolution when he got re-elected in 1936.
If we break the back of the media cartel, as seems to have happened/is ongoing, how many effective leftists will there be? How will they fight? Their major power for the last 50 years has been their control of the media. They do not control the military or most of the police.
We can still lose. I think the odds favor us. If the Left is able to silence us on the Internet and social media, it becomes much harder to predict.
It depends on your perspective. The north most certainly looked at it as a civil war. Lincoln repeatedly used the phrase “civil war.” He used it in the Gettysburg Address. It was common phraseology for the war in the north and they won. The victors write the history books. It’s real easy to re-write history 150 years later and say “well, technically that wasn’t a civil war.” Bottom line is this-they thought it was at the time. Those people LIVING THROUGH IT said it was. So, you and I can rewrite history if we want, but it doesn’t change what they said it was. They said it was a civil war...which is why we call it the Civil War.
“we will have effectively won”
To what end? The GOP has proven to be the eGOP, and Trump is allowing the democrats (Sessions, Mueller, et al.) to run roughshod all over the people, the constitution, the courts, the law, and himself. The criminals are getting away as he play Kabuki Theater and runs out the clock.
True, but the chip is still a chip (ir)regardless of the wind. ;-)
“Hopefully” is another such example.
Mark for later reading
“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...”
The “Civil War” was actually a war for independence just like the Revolutionary War. Lincoln became the new King George.
“No accountability — no law!!!”
Jeff Sessions fail.
You’re absolutely right. We are currently in Civil War 1 where their side is shooting and we are hiding behind Pres. Trump to take care of this all on his own. Wake up people. Put on your Red Arm Bands and Lock N Load. When, not if, we start shooting there are bulls eyes on so many judges, reporters, commentators, Senators & Congressmen, and in general all politicians all the way down the ladder who wants to annihilate our Constitution. BTW the red tennis wrist bans work pretty good. I even carry a blue one in case I’m in trouble.
Right. And the term “CIVIL war” is a misnomer. It may have been a civic (internal) war but it certainly was not civil.
Technically, the Mueller Inquisition is a soft coup or conspiracy (similar in history to some of the ancient Roman conspiracies (Cataline Conspiracy, etc.). It is also a false conspiracy because the FBI’s goal is to not only protect Hillary, for whom they did their plotting, but to protect themselves from accountability for doing the political bidding of Democrats. Like all cops, they will close ranks and defend themselves against politicians who threaten their careers and perks. The way FBI elites view the issue is that they should not suffer firings for doing the dirty work of politicians.
The ongoing conflict over Trump’s election is a conflict between the two middle classes: the Knowledge Class, dependent on government outlays and regulation for its existence, and the Business Class, dependent on Capitalism. This conflict is an insurrection or mutiny that can lead to revolution if not put down.
You mentioned Lincoln, but Jefferson Davis didn’t call it a Civil War.
“So, yeah, the Civil War has, in effect, started”
All the necessary prerequisites have been laid down. The white hot hatred is there. Extermination camps would not cause an iota of guilty conscience. All the fault of democrat provocateurs.
>>Put on your Red Arm Bands and Lock N Load.
Yep. It’s time to become they threat they say we are when they are trying to silence us, disarm us, and kick us out of society.
Not a big fan of arm bands though. MAGA hats seem to fire them up. We need to show them a MAGA hat flood.
It was a civil war that was not civil. It may have been a civic war but not a civil war.
