We’re in the Midst of a Political Civil War
RushLimbaugh,com ^ | February 10, 2017

Posted on 02/11/2017 10:40:47 AM PST by SMGFan

Rush : I don’t think we’re that far from a Civil War in this country right now. I’m not talking about armed conflict, North v. South, but we clearly have a divide in this country that is in no way gonna be bridged. It isn’t gonna be bridged by compromise. It’s not gonna be bridged by walking across the aisle and getting along with people, and it’s not gonna be bridged by persuading people to agree with us and vice-versa. The only way this is ever gonna end is when one side gets defeated — politically defeated — and becomes a demonstrable minority.

That’s the only way any of this is gonna end. The left does not want this to end! This is normalcy for the left. You must understand this. This is what they want life in America to be day in and day out. Remember, they are victims. They are not happy. As victims, it is impossible to be happy. It’s impossible to be content. They think there are no reasons to be happy. Even when Obama was winning and he was in the White House, they were still livid and angry every day! Over what? The fact that there was opposition to Obama!

It’s one thing to be, ‘The Loyal Opposition’ but the Democrats are so far beyond the pale these days that I completely agree with Rush.

Total Democrat DEFEAT is the only way to save America. My entire LIFETIME has been spent watching the ‘Rats and the RINOs try to destroy Her. They’ve made AMAZING progress in just under 60 years.

If it weren’t for our Founding Fathers conceiving of and predicting this, we’d be long gone, already.

If Mitt Romney were president, everything would get swept under the rug. Things might seem to be better, but they wouldn't be.

I think we are at the beginning of a civil war too and it is the left that is starting it. They are throwing a temper tantrum that their communist progress is going to get turned back. They may want to line up conservatives in front of a ditch, but we have learned how they do things and will strongly resist them. They can’t be reasoned with, only defeat will stop them..

Let the left defend a failed ideology, in terms of the massive debt and out-of-control government they have left this country in. Also they’re trying to go all in with power and control,trying to rob us of our freedoms and liberties.

What the left evolved in to in this country IS un-Constitutional and they need to be reminded that at every turn as well as their failures for our nation.

It’s only going to get worse for them. The more President Trump succeeds, the more it exposes their failures for our country.

MAGA!

Yes we are! And as much as its not in my DNA, do we need to join the social media world? Do I need to march? Or is my silent vote enough? I watch, study and swear at what I hear and see (hate to admit that, I have young grandkids). And I worry that my 90 yr old mom is out there on Facebook doing same but publically! Should I finally jump and join the social media rat-race? I don’t because I treasure my silent unpolled and unpredicded vote. Trump knows I’m in, is that all that matters right now?

“Divide and conquer” has been the rally cry from the left since before the French Revolution. Karl Marx made it into a rally cry of his revolution and its practice has resulted in the death of millions.

The difference is that what we are seeing here is not the start of a revolution. Trump was the revolution.

What we are seeing are the death throes of a major political party.

I heard him say that. He is spot on except for the armed conflict part. If people don't settle down and quickly, there IS going to be armed conflict. Let me explain:

If the liberal leftists don't get what they want, they resort to violence. We've seen it over and over again and if we import more muslims and Mexicans, we're going to see it a LOT over and over again. The muslims simply will NOT tolerate someone disagreeing with them. I have dealt with them personally and in business, and that IS the way it is. Mexicans are very nearly the same, they're just more subtle about it. Whereas a muslim will assualt or kill you right on the spot, the Mexican will damage your property or screw you in some fashion so that by the time you realize it, (s)he is long gone or you never knew they did it. So, from their side, you are going to see violence and harm effected against those who wish to control illegal immigration. That in itself might be the spark that lights the fire, but we've been patient so far.

Neither of these values are Christian values and yet Democrats want more of them here because they vote Democrat. They do not believe we will rise up against them.

Conservatives, on the other hand, are taught by God not to have either reaction mentioned above, but to forgive. The Democrat goal is wait us out and eventually get back into power and do more of the same. Finally, the true "Americans" will have had enough and will decide to fight back. The division is now down to families and in the work place. It is an ideological division, whereas most civil wars are regional divisions. This time it will be neighbor on neighbor and literally brother on brother. Once it starts, there WILL be violence and trying to get it stopped is going to be nearly impossible. The worst case scenario is we will be invaded and conquered by a foreign power. Whoever that is will not tolerate the division and will kill anyone involved.

One solution remains. The Federal and State governments must come together (agreeably or by force) and act swiftly against ANY violence of any kind related to politics from either side. WHOEVER participates in violent, destructive acts during protests must be dealt with swiftly and ruthlessly to get the point across that we are NOT going in that direction and it will be zero tolerance for such. Wearing masks at protests should be a felony, because whoever is wearing a mask has evil intentions from the beginning and is trying to hide. We'll have to wait and see what the administration and the Congress decide to do to avoid civil war.

Sorry, but this is not civil wat; it is pure and simple mercenary insurrection, paid for by George Soros.

That’s because -let us not forget- this is not Left vs Right. This is the Elite Ruling Class (and those who want the free stuff they give them) vs We The People, aka traditional America.

Article IV, Section 3 states that:
“no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state...without the consent of the legislatures concerned”
“Congress shall have the power to dispose of...the territory...belonging to the United States.”

A Republican state might agree to allow Nouveau Riche County to become a new state provided it pays say 5% of its tax revenue to its old state as long as the old state doesn’t raise taxes or fees.

Congress might dispose of Nouveau Riche County allowing it to become The Free and Sovereign Republic of Nouveau Riche, provided it pays say 10% of its tax revenue to the US as long as the US doesn’t raise taxes or fees.

It may be hard to amend the Constitution, but creating new and free sovereign countries is easy.

If the leftists don’t want to agree to Constitutionally limit the taxing power of domestic governments, away we might go.

I’m very tired of leftist antics.

Basta, per carita.

I know how the Welsh, Scots, Basques, Kurds and Quebecois feel.

My viewpoint will not be popular here, but lawful, peaceful separation is superior to Weimar Republic-style street slugfests and civil war.

The Democrats need to know that they can’t create a dictatorship over all of us by flooding the country with illegal immigrants.

They might wear pink hats and wave rainbow banners, but they act like they are wearing brown shirts.

Everyone on our side should see themselves as Minutemen. Don’t advertise it to anyone but close confidants and be ready.

This is the Elite Ruling Class trying to bring in a Global Marxist Government, totally destroying the middle class, and bringing the USA down to the same level as the 3rd world while they live in their compounds in comfort.

Sort of like Hunger Games.

We haven’t even had 65% eligible voter turnout since 1908. Most of the time since it has been much less than that. Local and state election turnout is even lower. 2016 had less eligible voter turnout than in 2008 and 2012.

I think the folks who care about politics enough to vote have a hard time imagining all the people out there that just don’t care.

Rush is saying precisely that the left must be defeated absolutely ad completely. It must become pariah politically, despised and hated for its violence, its antihuman philosophy, its atheism, and its hostility to the Constitution and America. Progressive politics is fundamentally evil and must be rejected clearly and strongly.

It isn’t gonna be bridged by compromise

We've been compromising with these animals since the 60s. And the more we compromise, the more they demand. They don't want compromise. They want, and expect, totalitarian control.

It's Hitler at Munich in '38 all over again.

The left is evil. They have to be defeated badly. They should be defeated.
