Civil War
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can't settle the question through elections because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There's a pattern here. What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don't accept the results of any election that they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
That's a civil war.
There's no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn't dissent. It's not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it's inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can't scratch his own back without his say so, that's the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that's not the system that runs this country. The Democrat's system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He's a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can't do anything. He isn't even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has 'discretion' to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn't even have the 'discretion' to reverse him. That's how the game is played That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn't yet won that particular fight.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that. Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can't serve in if you're not a member. If you haven't been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren't in the club with him.
Now we're seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That's not a free country.
It's not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against Trump winning the election. It's not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It's not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It's not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn't supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.
Excellent summary of our current state of affairs.
Oh and believe me, the shooting has already started, or should I say, there have been casualties already.
See tag line.
‘Mindless’ is an accurate description of groupies whose wills are in submission to forces of evil. For some of them, hatred of conservatives is mindless because they’ve been told by the masters of their wills to hate. So they hate people that they don’t really know and who may even have served them in some way, i.e. firemen, paramedics, etc. For others, hatred is a function of fear of losing a parasitic, hedonistic lifestyle.

Bump!
Never doubt the intelligence or dismiss the resolve of your enemy. They didn't get to the position they are in controlling most of the District of Collusion by being stupid.
They may be blind to reasonable argument, immune to decency and be soulless haters but they aren't mindless.
No, the Left isn’t stupid, at least not at the leadership levels. You might think them stupid if you assume that they believe their own rhetoric, but they don’t.
They are just used to saying whatever they think will motivate their low level followers, who ARE fairly stupid, particularly the ones on welfare, and the ones who only have a paycheck because of affirmative action or because of their connection to the Democrat power structure.
And the power at the top comes from those stupid people below who will gladly go out and terrorize and unconditionally support those above.
The next civil war (if there is one) has none of those more "civilized" constraints. The enemy (leftists, the godless, globalists, Satanists, sexual perverts, Marxists, fascists) are everyone, in every state, city, and town.
How do you "fight" such an enemy? Not on the battlefield.
Our nation will implode from within.
everyone = everywhere
The two worse mistakes were allowing federal employees to be union (AFGE) plus allowing Congress to use the same union’s health plans plus retire under FERS.

Gore's legal team actually filed briefs with the premise that it was the voters' INTENT that should determine the outcome, rather than simple arithmetical counting of votes. They further argued that voter intent could be ascertained by pre-election polls, exit polls, news stories, and sob stories from people who voted, or said they did.
At the time, I said that the Democrats were appealing against elections and in favor of Rousseau's General Will (determined, of course, by them), and that if they kept losing elections, that we would be at war within twenty years.
And here we are.
The French Revolution had aspects of civil war, as did China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution.
That’s where we are going, IMO.
People always considered a nuclear war impossible. Well, there’s not as much odds of retaliation if a nation is so splintered on the inside.
The writter should have included the attack on the GOP train in VA. We’ll never be told the details of that.
That was the Election of 1860
The totalitarian thugs on the left are not the only ones who don't accept that elections are how you decide who runs the country. Normal Americans, including as far as I know the conservatives on Free Republic, also reject that perspective.
Elections are how you decide who runs the country - subject to the strict constraints of the Constitution, in particular the enumerated powers. Even an election win does not give the socialists legitimate authority to go beyond those limits, to redistribute wealth, or to disarm the people from whom government's just powers are derived.
The Constitution is in charge. If America's enemies on the left respected that fact, it would matter far less who held public office. If the petty tyrants and their enablers continue refusing to accept the rule of law, then another civil war is far better than a return of slavery.
Humans are souls/spirits embedded within bodies (matter). When they submit their wills they’ve submitted their souls to something that resonates with the indecency, hatred, bitterness, etc. that already festers within their souls—the seat of passions. Thus their passions (hatred, etc) become the arbiter of pseudo-’thought.’ In this respect, they are mindless because passions replace reasonable argument which is an ability of spirit (mind).
As a society we have lost the knowledge of who and what we are because materialist scientism, in teaching non-existance of soul/spirit, reduces humans to hominids, bio-machines, and aggregates of energy.
