“To me it seems obvious and logical that there will be a Civil War Two in the future.”

If a Civil war is coming it will be #1, not #2.

There was a war fought between the states 150 years ago. It was NOT a civil war, which means one group attempting the overthrow of the government.

One side was declaring that the government was subverting the Constitution, and the other side was imposing its will to stay in the Union.

at no time did anyone try to overthrow the government, as is required for a civil war.

This is a very important distinction.

The southern states entered into the Union with an agreement on certain terms. When those terms are not honored, then a dissolution of that agreement has been made.

This one will not be between the States. I think it will occur as civilians fight other civilians. Capitalism vs. Communism.

You are absolutely correct!!!!! I am always correcting people of this fact.

Ok, the way I see it, there is an ill wind blowing for sure. I am waiting to see what happens. I am willing to do my part and what that part is I have no idea.

Something is coming. Everybody feels it both on the left and right.

Excuse my babbling.
