A Time for War
American Thinker.com ^ | November 24, 2017 | David Prentice

“To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” That’s the beginning of a famous bible verse. It’s a litany of life’s times and wonders that are dropped in our laps; weeping, laughing, dancing, healing.

The last line purposely changes tone and says, “a time for war”.

Like it or not, this is that time.

Civil War.

It’s here. Now. Thankfully this is not yet the blood in the streets kind of war, but war it is. It’s a war for the soul of this country, it’s a war that will affect everyone; none will escape having to deal with it directly, or indirectly.

How did we get here? It’s complicated. But one thing for sure: what’s not complicated is who started this war, why, and who it is with. During our lives, it was started by the hard left, and it’s a war to achieve power for them, for them to change the entire workings of our country. They want to remake every institution they can, with themselves in control of as much as possible. Power to them, belongs in the hands of their brilliant ideas, and their overwhelming moral superiority. They believe this war is necessary in order to root out the injustice inherent in our country’s institutions and its tawdry citizenry.

At some point the metaphor will become concrete.

Ecclesiastes 3:8. Preached by Peter Muhlenberg, a Black Robe Regiment ‘Parson’ before ripping off his clerical gown to expose his Continental Army Colonel’s uniform and signing up one of the first full militias under Patrick Henry. There is a statue of him in the Capitol in Washington in Statuary Hall. That’s been my tagline for a couple years.

So when will our President take up arms in the social arena to roll back the corrupt policies still in place to destroy the moral fabric of America?

I’ve said for several years that civil war is a comin’. I felt so strongly that I bought a small farm in central KY, two weeks before the 2008 election, and moved there in 2011, from my home of 46 years, Seattle. One of the three best decisions I ever made, the first being accepting Christ and the second being choosing my wife.

And then I realized, during the 2016 election, that we
ARE in civil war. It’s just a cold war.

So far...

It’s a war for the soul of this country
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yet,....School day after school day conservatives turn their children over to the enemy.

Remember:
1) Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxists run colleges and universities.

2) Children in godless schools WILL learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How can it be otherwise?

3) Children in the government's socialist-entitlement K-12 schools risk learning to be comfortable with socialism. Gee! If the voting mob can give them tuition-free school, why not use that same mob to get **lots** of “free” stuff?

We are going to get an 8 year reprieve under President Trump.

Now is the time to be preparing. Change your mindset. Do not prepare to survive. Rather, organize and prepare for the coming civil war. Prepare to remove the insane left from this nation by whatever means are necessary.

<>Before there is bloodshed in the streets, we must beat them at their own game.<>

With the exception of the Presidency, the Left dominates every major institution. They have the courts on their side and will not relinquish power through the usual means. We can’t beat them on their own terrain.

Let’s try peaceful reform, and do an end run around them on ground of our choosing: Article V.

During our lives, it was started by the hard left, and it’s a war to achieve power for them, for them to change the entire workings of our country


The US was relatively in agreement on social matters when confronting a common enemy in WWII. The Cold War kept a lid on the Beat Generation, which was the embryonic form of the rebellious youth movement.

The Depression didn’t have the economic luxury of coddling disaffected adolescents, who traced their lineage to the Lost Generation of the Twenties. On a broader level, it was the proliferation of automobiles as portable bedrooms that allowed for youthful breaking away from norms.

Back to the modern era, civil fracture appeared with the notion that going to war half-heartedly and incrementally in Viet Nam was bettered by refusing to support the government at all, morphing Washington DC in particular and government in general into the enemy. This internal conflict became a war in itself, a war that was eventually won by the left.

Personal insults are not a argument. They’re easy though.
