CWII PING!

About the CWII Ping List

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.

“When you break it down below the State level, there’s a lot of purple. States turned Red or Blue based on small percentages, for the most part.”

Break it down to voting precinct, and there’s a sharp division at the edge of urban areas. “Secession”/”CWII” would be urban vs rural. There can’t be secession, precisely because it’s an archipelago of Leftist islands amid a sea of conservatism (which makes sense: people living like sardines need pervasive rules to survive/function, dispersed individuals just want to be left alone).

If the Left would just get it thru their heads that rural types don’t need/want pervasive laws, and function on a different set of needs/supplies, we’d all get along much better. Just quit bossing the “red areas” around.

It used to be Republican blue / Democrat Red when I was growing up. I am not sure when that changed but I am sure that it was done to deliberately misled people into not associating the Democrats with their natural allies the Red Commies.

Kurt does great snark, but I really have to compliment him on this analysis. It’s first rate.

the fanatics on the left would be content with the USA turned into a wasteland.

... or, to put it another way, they would be content to rule in hell.

I doubt that will ever happen.

“It won’t be State against State, it’ll be neighborhood against neighborhood.”

Judging by the viciousness of some liberals posting on the local POS newsrag website, this is it entirely: Pockets of liberals imagining themselves antifarts of some sort needing to be rooted out. Their hatred for the scattering of conservatives posting in opposition is amusing.

Well then, let the festivities begin.

Some people just like to tell others how to live.

On the small-scale end of the spectrum, you’ve got the petty tyrants on the Board of the Homeowners Association.

On the other end, you’ve got the great mass-murderers of history.

Combined General and Maryland “Freak State” PING!

Albert Pike didn’t write this. It’s a 20th century forgery and not a good one, as it uses anachronistic terms
