When our own political system breaks down into violent war, its all lost. Civil war is anti-democratic.

Where do I start? We're not a democracy, we're a representative republic.

We survived a civil war 150 years ago, and were better for it.

The military is probably the best equipped to protect the Constitution. Then we can sort all this out.

Honestly, do you want to live like a Canadian (I did, for seven years) or worse, a European, when it comes to the health of your family?My son is 12. I'll fight physically to let him have at least half the life I've had. I was born in 1963. The '70s were very good to me, but my kid is facing a world of hurt. I'll do whatever it takes to prevent him from living under this kind of government control.

Numbers matter. That’s the country we live in. Majority rules.

After the next census, we won’t have a prayer.

You’re forgetting that the Constitution is self-subservient to treaties. The Senate can kill America under the Constitution and the military would be oathbreakers to stop it.
