‘STOP THE COMING CIVIL WAR’ by Michael Savage
Harper-Collins 334pp. $26.00
Reviewed by WES VERNON
Michael Savage is not the only writer to conclude this nation is more divided now that at any time since the Civil War. However, the author/radio talk-show host has explored in-depth America’s step-by-step removal from the ideal of “one nation, indivisible.”
If one adds up many factors outlined in Savage’s latest and powerful book, it would likely follow that a second civil war would be more dangerous than the first. Our population has increased tenfold since Lincoln’s time, and modern weaponry is far more destructive. A shooting war on our soil (God forbid) would likely yield more lost lives than the 600,000 sacrificed in the mid-19th century.
“Everything is at stake,” the author asserts. One concludes a potential mid-21st century Civil War would even surpass in emotionality the slavery and economic dividers that spurred the mid-19th century conflict.
Writing in “Stop the Coming Civil War: My Savage Truth,” he tells us we are peacefully fighting (many of us without knowing it) “the world revolution” which he defines as “the conflict that the current administration is pushing in the name of a broader worldwide liberal revolution” in which “the forces of the left are attempting nothing less than a socialist takeover of the world economy and global politics.”
At this point, the reader might ask himself, “Well, haven’t we been arguing over ‘socialism’ since FDR’s New Deal, and even before?”
No-no, this isn’t just the “socialism” debated at political conventions, the “socialism” cited by dilettantes who go back to their real jobs on Monday morning, the socialism we sometimes defined as “communism on a slow train.” What we face now is yesterday’s “slow train” at high speed. This is the nightmare writ large, here and now. This is an author trying to shake his countrymen with an urgency of “This is it, wake up!”

Savage is spot on here.
This so reminds me of he AIDS epidemic in the 80’s. Don’t have unprotected gay sex and don’t shoot heroin and your chance of getting AIDS goes down exponentially.
Don’t attack a cop and don’t commit crimes and your chances of getting shot goes down exponentially.
Funny. Both liberal dilemmas with practical conservative solutions.
Good point.

Liberal Black Detroit Police Chief on Ferguson: “No Black Outcry When Black Cops Kill Blacks”
By Debbie Schlussel
Yesterday, Black Detroit Police Chief James Craig told CNN that Blacks show no outrage when Black police officers shoot and kill fellow Blacks. He made the comments in connection with the ongoing protests over the grand jury’s non-indictment of former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. His comments aren’t news to you or me, but when a Black public figure–especially Detroit’s Police Chief–has the guts to point that out in this era of racial group-think, it’s a good thing.
