The Civil War is Here
Frontpage ^ | March 27, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 03/26/2017 10:04:22 PM PDT by detective

A civil war has begun.

This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule. Political conflicts become civil wars when one side refuses to accept the existing authority. The left has rejected all forms of authority that it doesn’t control.

The left has rejected the outcome of the last two presidential elections won by Republicans. It has rejected the judicial authority of the Supreme Court when it decisions don’t accord with its agenda. It rejects the legislative authority of Congress when it is not dominated by the left.

It rejected the Constitution so long ago that it hardly bears mentioning.

I mean not everyone is messed up. There are some very good people up here. Sorry, it is difficult to be everything to everyone, but you are correct, I have to be careful what I say. But it is very difficult to find any type of support up here in state. Massachusetts started the Revolutionary War at Concord, perhaps we can have surprises next election cycle.

Re: Castle Wolfenstein

LOL.

I had to look that up.

According to Google, that game came out in 1981, and was initially designed for the Apple II.

You’ve heard of bunk-beds?

Contemplate the concept of bunk-graves.

Or well-fed buzzards.

Moral strength of the average people and the troops, the government was no more moral then than it is now, a fact then hidden by the fact that States still actually retained some authority and rights. Economic and raw power issues pushed it all over the edge, not morality, and absolutely not moral outrage over slavery in the ranks of those who could avoid or start the war.

The desire of Northern money men to have no rival elite was matched by the determination of the Southern money crowd to not be dictated to was the root cause. That left no room for compromise so both North and South had to provide the people who would do the dying with a rationale they would die for.

We're seeing the same sort of determination not to be dictated to rising again across a wide swath of this country and the same desire for no rival to their authority of the Northeast and West Coast elite that led to a situation where no compromise was going to be made prior to the Civil War. I repeat, we're also seeing the same determination not to be dominated vs. that desire for no rival fought out between large and small media, more often than not, wrapped in moral outrage by both sides.

There's a huge difference between the morality and moral perceptions of those who do the fighting in wars and those who have the power to avoid or unleash them. Those in power have only rarely let any moralaity enter into their decisions about what best furthers their agenda and strengthens their grip on power. They didn't at the time of the Civil War, they don't now. What moral outrage they use to induce the unwashed masses the manipulate morning, noon, and night, anyway to fight is another matter.

The democrat party was then and is now the party of eugenics, racism, and dictatorship with or without a velvet glove on the iron fist. They've never changed and they never will. JMHo

Oh, ya mean, "We" as in your personal clique? I'll try to watch out for that since I don't appear to meet your approval.

Minor correction. Twice now you have made reference to the Order of the Golden Circle. You are actually meaning to reference the Knights of the Golden Circle (sometimes called the Order of the Knights of the Golden Circle). The Order of the Golden Circle is something else altogether and unrelated. Otherwise, carry on.

The left is a treasonous movement. The Democrats became a treasonous organization when they fell under the sway of a movement that rejects our system of government, its laws and its elections. Now their treason is coming to a head. They are engaged in a struggle for power against the government. That’s not protest. It’s not activism. The old treason of the sixties has come of age. A civil war has begun.

It's happening - lots of dangerous traitors in 'intelligence'....

Thank you

I may discover one day how to structure paragraphs and stop channeling a poor imitation of HUNTER THOMPSON

My true issue is I post on the go or very late in bed with my rib sleeping next to me

It’s sloppy admittedly

Nine dependents is a busy life

Every morning I wake up knowing I need to make more in one month than I lived on single in 1980 just to keep them all in high cotton

But I still must freep as we all do

I should be fine. I was damn good at Castle Wolfenstein.

That's FRAUNKensteen!

It goes without saying that should necessity or desire arise, you're always welcome to come visit Camp Kukri in Wyoming.

Some of our happy lot, we band of bothers are resident at the British Army BATUS facility up at Medicine Hat. Either a ride with or an escort could probably be arranged, maybe even a helo extraction; milady is a rotorhead. Out of five full-time residents, we share three languages. Add in seven part-timers, and we're up to six.
