It's not as stupid as it seems, if you allow yourself to consider what is, for many of us, unthinkable: that the Left is already fighting CWII; they are speaking not to the country as a whole, but to their forces in the field. Their strategy is divisive, and is meant to be divisive... they don't care that half the country (maybe even more than half) is incensed by their lies, because they reckon they can roll over that half by treachery: changing the demographics of our nation, making common cause with our foreign enemies, undermining our Constitution, and taking away our rights to free speech, freedom of worship, and freedom of commerce.
That's the message sent to me by the "double-down" strategy we've seen so much of in recent years, from the President, from Reid and Pelosi, from the Attorney General and other Cabinet secretaries, and from academics like those behind global warming.
I concur, they have already “begun the fight”. In good Tsun Tzu fashion they are trying to “take everything they can” before the violence actually begins. I will give them this, they have good generals.
