War is ugly. The outcome is NOT a forgone conclusion.

Well, the author appears to agree with me: the Democrat party is currently America’s largest hate group.

In addition to thumping them at the ballot box, all their crooks need to be investigated, tried on legitimate charges that may result, and on all actual convictions by jury, the maximum penalties imposed, up to and including executions.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

A very important warning. The days of isolated civil wars are over.

There isn’t going to be any type of mass mobilization or house to house combat. The country will simply decay into regional groups.

The war began some time ago, has gotten “hot” on only one side, and now the left is pursuing terroristic approaches using both lawfare and open violence.

We cannot fail to fail if we don’t even engage.

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.

Amazing to me how someone I've never met knows my mind...or thinks he knows the mind of anyone else. Mind reading, IMO, represents more an exercise in self expression than any insight into others...IE, projection.

He should not mistake composure for a lack of understanding of the issues and consequences. The opposite, in fact.

Some conservatives assume that they, having more arms and more training and practice in using them, would quickly prevail over the soy-boy Left.

No doubt about that. Mr. Marbury lacks understanding and imagination on the issue. First, this won't (IMO) resemble civil wars of America past. Quite the opposite. Think in terms of asymmetrical warfare...and a dispersed patriot force determined to avoid a fair fight.

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

Now THERE'S an idea. One question though, for either the writer or Sprewell...what's your target?

William Marbury is the pen name of a lawyer who works in the arts.

Just the type of person whose insight I would seek on this issue...not.

Really. And people kept on reading that drivel past that point?

Leftists can run their sumps on all kinds of make believe bullcrap. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen in any universe except their imaginary one.

Of course, we can all just keep being scared of how hard and ugly it’d be. Best way in the world to ensure the left is never actually opposed in any meaningful way.

That’s also called surrender, by the way.

There will be no civil war before the departure of God's family. After that event, worldwide, there are particular nations which will have more chaos than others. At that time what would have been seen in a civil war will be what the left behind must face, and most of them will eagerly endorse power to one who can restore order, get the power back on, and feed the fading masses.

I agree but we have reached a point that the institutions of power have demonstrated they won’t tolerate a president they don’t want and will do anything to stop him and will at the same point import illegals to bolster their own electorate

We better do something

They deploy a nuke and the grid goes down.

Since they live in the cities they will starve to death.

The and since we do not live in concentrated groups we are harder to hit with a nuke. In fact a nuke is a stupid waste of power.

I agree that it is nothing to look forward to but even assuming that several someones high enough ranking in the military could be prevailed upon to do such a stupid action it would hurt them much worse then it would hurt us.

Let me guess. The writer is a city boy who has never actually driven around in the US.
