In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar, governor of Gaul, and his legion forded the Rubicon, the dividing line between Gaul and Italy, and marched on Rome, thus declaring civil war.
Rome was the last of the free cities that had existed throughout the Mediterranean. They had vanished and finally only Rome, a republic, remained. Her people were free citizens of the republic, not subjects of a single ruler. The Roman Republic of a thousand years ended with Caesar’s invasion and the Roman Empire and rule of emperors – actually dictators – began.
The founders of our republic drew in part from the republican pillars of Rome as well as those of Athens and also from the Magna Carta in forming our country. They recognized the critical necessity of these and other imperatives to the construction and continuance of a democratic republic.
Donald Trump has crossed the Rubicon and has declared war on the republic of the United States. His goal is singular: disassemble our republic and remake it to his desire.

Thank you for that link. What a fascinating testimony.
The basis of this literally delusional rant is that Trump is going to, as all before him have done, install his own people and pursue his agenda. That’s it. This won’t end without violence because one side actually cannot be reasoned with.
Thanks for posting, Harley Lady.
It’s imperative that all Conservatives know exactly what our political opposition is thinking and doing.
What a load of horse poop.
Girlfriend, the FReeper was defending you to another poster.
Scumbags like this are working to create thousands, or millions, or potential assassins!!
Keep telling people such drivel, and a lot of them will come to think like John Wilkes Booth.
We are in extremely dangerous times, and the Secret Service must be on top of their game at all times now.
Lots of FRiendly fire on this thread.
Thank-you for posting it. Know the enemy.
I will never understand why freepers such as yourself always attack people who post articles like this without checking them out. She is obviously not a troll. I love these articles. Since I refuse to watch or read the MSM, Free Republic is my main source of info on what the enemy does and thinks. I have a vast treasure trove of info bookmarked that I can access to call out the left on their violence, hypocracy, lies censorship, etc.
Thank you. Very fascinating.
Plus a number of Trump supporters are armed for added protection.
We are dealing with a left that is dying.
Perhaps the author can answer what he thinks of the people who voted for Trump......(that's really a rhetorical question, the media have let it be known many times what they think of certain areas of the country).
The article in question is what I call horse poop.
lol
Trump hasn’t even wielded as much power as Obama did yet!
funny how the left has selective memory!
>In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar, governor of Gaul, and his legion forded the Rubicon, the dividing line between Gaul and Italy, and marched on Rome, thus declaring civil war.
People’s knowledge of history is so bad these days. Let me correct the record A) Rome was already ruled by the Military strongman Pompey. B) Caesar couldn’t return home without his army because the Republic had fallen so far that his enemies obtained a death sentence against Caesar from a court while he was away and unable to defend himself. Hard to call something a republic when you can’t return home a hero because the corrupt courts sentenced you to death.
>Rome was the last of the free cities that had existed throughout the Mediterranean. They had vanished and finally only Rome, a republic, remained.

The Roman Republic of a thousand years ended with Caesar’s invasion and the Roman Empire and rule of emperors – actually dictators – began.
The Roman republic was effectively over after the dictator Sula had to use the army to stop endless political murders in the streets by political factions who failed to obey the rule of law. He purged the system and tried to restore the republic but all he setup was the future rule of the army.
>The founders of our republic drew in part from the republican pillars of Rome as well as those of Athens and also from the Magna Carta in forming our country. They recognized the critical necessity of these and other imperatives to the construction and continuance of a democratic republic.
The American republic stopped being a republic when the supreme court started making law around the time of Row vs Wade. Since then we’ve been ruled by a dictatorship of judges with some democratic elements tossed in. Our fight over the last few decades has mostly been about trying to elect presidents who select the dictators in black robes who have the real power. It’s really screwed up system.
>Donald Trump has crossed the Rubicon and has declared war on the republic of the United States. His goal is singular: disassemble our republic and remake it to his desire.
Donald Trump is more like Sula than Ceasar. He’s trying to save the republic from the left but the left has given up all pretexts of obeying the will of the voters and the rule of law. It’s Trump vs the Deep state and their dictators in black robes and the anarchists on the streets.
Measure the greatness of any man by how loathsome his enemies are. Trump is the greatest American since George Washington.
The author of this piece uses the words “enemy”, “clear and present danger”, “the enemy within”, “we are at war”, and “he must be deposed”.
These words, especially “clear and present danger” are an incitement to assassination. The words “enemy”, “enemy within”, and “we are at war” are incitements to violence against Trump’s tens of millions of supporters. “He must be deposed” is sedition, plain and simple.
I am afraid that way too many of us still are laboring under an illusion, or a series of illusions, about people like Arnold Coda - what they want, what they believe, what they would do if they could.
This will not end well. There will be blood.
Oh, and for you illiterates who think the wonderful and patriotic FReeper Harley Lady 27 WROTE this, or endorses it - please learn how FR works, and learn how to read before you post.
Thank You Jim...
“The only reason we need immigrants is to do work our own lazy citizens will not do.”
Actually, THAT is a load of crap! It was the excuse liberals used to justify letting in the illegals. Stop repeating the lie.
