Charlie Daniels: Will Americans Ever Again Be Able to Work Things Out?
cnsnews.com ^ | 8/22/2018 | Charlie Daniels

Posted on 08/22/2018 11:19:26 AM PDT by rktman

It seems there is less and less common ground in discourse in America anymore as the constantly redrawn battle lines move farther and farther apart, taking with them even the folks on both fringes, severely narrowing the space for what have heretofore been known as “moderates.”

With the advent of the militant left, Maxine Waters et al and Andrew Cuomo’s America “was never that great” comment, the lines change again, as even would-be liberals cannot countenance the harassing of families having dinner in a public place or the fallacy that the nation that has been the savior of freedom on Planet Earth, and has lead the world in technology, military power, industrial strength and personal liberty for over two centuries, is not and “was never that great.”

Well Mr. Daniels, of course we can as long as we conservatives are willing to compromise a little. I.e. give in to all the dummycrat demands. So, yes.

So, will we ever be able to have a sensible conversation between the diverse political and social factions? Will we ever again be able to sit down at the same table and actually work things out?

No and No.

CharlieD spent a great deal of time and syllables to blame “both sides” AND bash Trump (which will certainly please some/many here).

Wonder what kind of pressure is being brought against CharlieD.

Leftists don’t compromise when in power. Their political goals are to destroy their opponents. That is why Trotsky ended up with an ice pick in his head.

They will get what they want but it will be imposed upon them. They are inferior.

No! It’s impossible and a total waste of time to attempt to reason with people who are determined to destroy us and our country.

I just do not see it. They are committed socialist revolutionaries who do not hold the slightest love for anything the nation was built on. They truly despise every tradition and touchstone.

Could you see yourself becoming ok with globalism, open borders, transexuals in schools, homo scout leaders, wiccan chaplains, giving up our guns, abortion, and a carbon tax?
No? Imagine that, then explain to me how you imagine THEY would suddenly treasure the meaning of Thanksgiving, accept Christians as neighbors and friends, how they would decide we need limits on third world immigration, that guns should not be restricted, etc?

I think we are headed to a split, to violence, or into a death spiral of mediocrity like the UK.

Maybe we should follow the lead of the first Purge movie. Twelve hours to sort out the country without boundaries...

But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

Nope, I’m done giving a inch. Liberals can pucker up and kiss my bitter clingers.

Actually, I don't think we will be able to work things out because this time the division isn't about issues.

This time the division is the result of the Radical Left trying to kill our country and reconstitute it as a different form of government. And, let me hasten to add, traditional Americans have no place in their new country.

The "militant Left" as Charlie call it exists in a parallel reality (one in which morality is relative, atheism is demanded, fluid gender and perverse sexual proclivity is celebrated, and one in which all who support the U.S.A. and its traditions are despised).

Can anyone see a way out of that kind of division?

I am reminded of the movie "Independence Day" when President Whitman asked the alien, "What do you want us to do?" and the alien answered "Die, die...we want you to die."

That is what Charlie's "militant Left" is saying to us.

They want us to die.

No democrat will ever be a legitimate President in my eyes.

I will never accept a President with a “D” by his name...

Any democrat elected to that office should be hated and worked against from Day One... just like democrats did to us.
