A second American civil war is nothing to look forward to

Similarly, today, it is surprising to hear with what composure, and how glibly, members of the public, and even politicians, talk of a second American civil war. Some conservatives assume that they, having more arms and more training and practice in using them, would quickly prevail over the soy-boy Left.

Proficiency with firearms will be no match for nuclear bombs, which Democrat Eric Swalwell has already suggested deploying domestically.

The Democrats are busy even now destroying the institutions of government, the institutions for the peaceful adjustment of differing interests. They are doing this through the Mueller witch hunt, bureaucratic and judicial sedition, and the illegitimate impeachment inquiry, and they are fomenting violence through their Antifa organization and their rhetoric.

The left does not hate guns. It hates your having guns.

No one’s considering which side the military is going to fight for.

If dems get control of it, that’s bad.

If they support Trump, that’s great.

It’s not a north or south thing where soldiers will break ranks to defend homeland.

And if you think NY or NJ want to officially declare war, you’re NUTS!! :)

I know a lot of leftists and they DO NOT want that.

I think it will be more like the 1970 underground terrorist attacks. That kind of thing.

“The next CW will be left versus right. The left hates guns. So...”

We’re in it now with Trump in charge. We’re winning.

Sometimes , most times, the people have no choice.

There is a time to be nice, and a time to not be nice.

(Note: I've had the same tagline below since 2000. I see no point in changing it, and if anything the past near 20 years have validated my tagline.)

The left doesn’t hate guns. They just want guns under their control. The left has a long bloodlust history for guns.

Many of us are considering that. My own opinion is that they'll largely stay out of the fray. Not all, but largely.

,br> They say they hate cars and violence too. They continue to use cars etc. for their wants, and a substantial portion are already turning to violence against MAGA hat wearers and overt Christians. The ones who remain non-violent excuses the violence, pretending our imagined violence makes it acceptable.

Having taken classes on the Spanish and English civil wars and teaching Russian civil war our revolution was closer to a civil war than our civil war.

The Tories had Canada and England to run back to. We are the last ditch.

"They [conservatives] will not shoot anyone for fear of prison and the resulting impoverished families."

Really? I did not know that. Perhaps that explains all those boating accidents.

As an engineer that is TOTALLY REPULSED BY STATUS QUO, you are 100% correct.

Spartens would not be avoiding conflict at all costs. They’d be willing to experience conflict so they could live as they wished and not need to endure all this garbage EVERYDAY.

Yep. And a lot of that thinking persists today. Some of it is on the left. But unfortunately most of it is in the right. “Yeah, if they impeach Trump (or whatever), we’ll arm ourselves and march on Congress.”

Well, okay. And then maybe Pelosi and co. will just fold, and it will all be so glorious. Or maybe it will be an awful, bloody mess. In the latter case, would it still be worth it? Only an historian 20 years from now could answer that question.

Capitulation would work as well it did for Europes Jewry. What happened in the camps wasn’t war.

Leftist commentator Andy Rooney once stated that the worst thing Hitler ever did was to prove for all time that any peace isn’t necessarily better than any war.

To most of us, lining up entire villages, forcing them to dig mass graves and shooting them to be buried in the graves they had just dug was really bad. Rounding people up to work as slaves until they died of starvation was bad. Killing mental patients and the elderly was bad. Shipping people by rail to camps where they were gassed and then incinerated was bad.

But to the socialist, nothing on that list was as bad as showing people that giving in to government oppression was worse than fighting it.

They still relentlessly try to promote the idea that freedom and the means of self defense aren’t important. Or present the notion that preparation for a war in order to survive is the same as eagerly desiring war.

Very wrong. Once the membrane bursts, the blood will flow. History proves it over and over. Your assertion is baseless.
