America's Second Civil War Has Already Begun
The American Thinker ^ | 1 Mar 19 | William L. Gensert

Posted on 03/01/2019 10:54:52 AM PST by xzins

When Obama went on his world apology tour, he wasn’t apologizing for America, he was apologizing for Americans. This is the essence of this second civil war. Leftists are demi-gods who believe they are America and that anyone who does not believe in them cannot lay legitimate claim to this country as their own.

Yes, this war has begun. The opening skirmish was the Obama presidency itself,

The war’s second battle was the 2016 presidential election when Hillary Clinton, Obama’s chosen successor, lost to a television personality

Trump’s presidency has been the third battle and with his string of successes, the battle is being won. This, despite near-universal acrimony and condemnation among the media, the Democrats, and the left.

This is a war of attrition and we Americans are being attrited.

For example, their “open borders” policy is effectively importing a new electorate -- one guaranteed to vote for them. The left agrees with Obama, there is nothing wrong with America, it’s those damn Americans, so they are going to drown the conservative vote with new Democrats.

...snip...

Many of those empowered to confiscate weapons won’t obey orders. Defections will be common and there will be fighting in the streets, limited at first, but it will soon break out into open rebellion. The regime will become increasingly strident and many states will refuse to comply. Using Democratic-run “sanctuary cities” as an example of state nullification of federal law, talk of secession will become rife.

The ruling leftists will, of course, be surprised, and orders will be given to the remaining loyalist forces to put down the rebellion. In the end, the death toll will far exceed the 620,000 people who died in our first civil war.

It can’t happen here? Open your eyes, it has already begun.

Worse: The ostensible leaders of our side were mostly on their side: globalist Neocons, the controlled opposition.

The RINO Neocons hated Barry Goldwater in 1964 - 50+ years ago.

We were taught that war could range from high intensity to low intensity. It can be low intensity and covert. Imagining a definition for low intensity, covert war is a good mental exercise.

Okay, we're a bit in a definition issue.

You could say we were in the civil war years prior to Fort Sumpter. The tensions were high enough.

But the first battle of Fort Sumpter is when most peope think the actual Civil WAr began.

I don't believe we have had a new Fort Sumpter yet. Nor do we have a declared civil war.

Yet.

The lack of support for those who took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge leads me to believe there will be no civil war. Even most of those involved in the takeover hauled ass when things got serious.

Reading all these replies is, to be honest, a little depressing.

Glad I’m old.

Feel sorry for the youngsters. They can’t know what they missed.

How many Americans have a dozen guns?

A lot. If each can arm 4 or 5, then that people’s army is even larger.

The person who wrote this optimistic article doesn’t appear to know diddle about the psychology of war.
I suggest the Black Book of Communism.
All the left has to do is tell the conservatives over 65 they will cut off their monthly checks and healthcare and they will gladly give up even more than they already have.
350 million guns versus arsenals of heavy weaponry won’t even make a dent.

I disagree.

350 million guns will control the country. Moreover, our sons and daughters in uniform will not fire on their friends and family

Apparently our FRiend momincombatboots doesn't understand the logistics tail required by heavy weapons, nor the lack of one required by a scoped deer rifle.

It wasn't America's heavy weapons that made that Japanese general conclude we were uninvadable.

Um, I understand more than you can imagine. An invasion from without is pretty simple to put down. It is really like comparing apples to oranges
If you tell people their mom or wife cannot see a doctor if there is a single gun in their house, what do you think they will do?
The enemy within has already gained enormous power. What will you choose when it comes down to your family’s very life and health?

Assuming that civil war II goes hot upon the forceful removal of President Trump and Pence is somehow denied his line of succession to the Presidency and a demoncrap is illegally installed who then calls for war on the American People, do you seriously think that the snowflakes won't heed her call to immediately join up for the purpose of murdering "rebel, bigoted, white male privileged, homophobic, Christians"?

The demoncrap el presidente already has a core group of antifa zealots to lead the way through BTS and deployed as the new front line infantry. Physical/mental requirements schmirements...they will be given a pass, guns and permission to go postal on anyone who looks like a "normie" including their entire families.

Officers who refuse will be summarily replaced on el presidente's orders.

Arrange for a "accident" to befall the functionary doing the "telling."

Following Solzhenitsyn's famous quote, at some point those who implement an oppressive government's policies have to bear responsibility for doing so.

None of whom have thus far faced any kind of serious opposition. I dare say Mao's "Cultural Revolution" would have turned out quite a bit differently if all those "useful idiot" students had to face armed victims.

And lots aren’t.

Get back to us when you’re more interested in practicalities than “saving face.”

Most Americans (including me) are way too soft for anything to do with a real war. They care way too much about their ice cream, Youtube, McDonalds, Kardashians, and Dancing with the Stars to ever take up arms over ANYTHING. It just isn’t going to happen.
That is why the democrats have been importing lots of people from other countries.

“The Republican Party is only interested in dictating favorable terms of surrender for themselves as fellow elites.”

Well put.

When Trump is gone, the Republican Party will die.

USA will be a one-party state, with token Bush/Romney style republicans starting foreign wars and handing out amnesty to illegals.
