I will never abandon my beloved country: If she goes down, I go down with her.

I'm with you. my FRiend. Only eight more years until 2016, the 250th Anniversary. If we go down with her, trying to keep it worthwhile until then is a noble enough cause for me.

[ An uneasiness has overtaken the body politic. There is a sense that a terrible clash is about to occur. The establishment’s contempt for Donald Trump, and their machinations to remove him, are validated by the president’s intemperate counterattacks and the glee that his supporters take in his barbs. These two groups do not simply disagree; they consider each other to be illegitimate and unconstitutional outlaws.

It is true that Trump’s behavior is not befitting his office and that a certain decorum and dignity in the White House is not only desirable but essential. Democracy is no different from any other form of government in that the political order is shaped by the character and example of its leaders.
]

I don’t blame Trump, trump is just the transfer student who just started school , got bullied, and is fighting back.

The GOP establishment is to blame for not fighting back when they could have easily done so and thus for the last 30 years have emboldened the bullies and let this crap escalate.

Better to go down fighting than to be a constant bullied class.

[ Fine.

Let’s have the war.

We’ll win. ]

The window on if we will win or not gets narrower every day as liberal policies are slowly strangling freedom and common sense.

However, Trump did prop the window open with a ruler, but it will only hold for so long.

Yup.

If Bob Mueller wins the battle and effects the coup, the nation is gone.

We end up with some version of Castro or Maduro ranting at us from the balcony of El Casa Blanca.

Party leaders and partisans hating each other doesn't mean that the rest of the country is going to follow them into civil war.

Nobody is going to war over Jacques Derrida (who's already been forgotten).

Ok...Civil War.

How do we tell who the bad guys are and who do we target?

Will they have “D’s” painted on their foreheads?

This is a SERIOUS QUESTION!!!

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION-—

You will never get conservatives to agree as to who the enemy really is....or how to take them down in a civil conflict?

People who voted for Obama twice and then voted for Trump, or voted for McCain and Romney and then switched to Clinton, or alternated between Bush and Clinton and Bush and Obama in subsequent elections may be more than a tiny slice of the population.

The hardcore base of any candidate or party and the mass of people who vote for the candidate or party may have very different views on how the country should be run.

They just hate and disagree with the other party more than the do with people in their own party (sometimes not by much).

“Unless we remove the interlopers and restore the rule of law, we still lose our country.”

Yep. Without deporting the millions of Mexico and the 3rd world illegally in the country, California remains lost.

And the other states will follow.

The real enemy is the Federal Reserve Bank, IMF, and other banking cartels.

The rest are just useful idiots.

Until the FRB is abolished, liberty will continue to be under assault.

“Until the FRB is abolished, liberty will continue to be under assault”

Well, I agree as a matter of principle. And with the abolishment of the FRB, it’s reason for existing - the 16th Amendment — needs to go away too.

Both were instruments of enslavement that the European aristocrats concocted and which the Founders explicitly rejected.

I haven't posted or even lurked here on FR in a long time. So I don't know if this has already been mentioned. But I recently read something posted by our very own Travis McGee in his authors mode to the effect of:

"People who have no idea the meaning of the phrase sub-MOA should not start wars with those who DO!"
