Liberal New York Times columnist claims US 'edging closer' to another civil war

Liberal New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow claimed over the weekend that the U.S. was "edging closer" to another civil war.

In a Saturday op-ed, Blow argued that the ongoing debate over Texas' recently passed abortion law, and the invoking of former Vice President John C. Calhoun by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, reminded him of the debate over states' rights and slavery, both of which Calhoun was a proponent, in the decades leading up to the American Civil War.

A key component of women’s rights and body autonomy is being snatched away as we watch," Blow wrote, referencing the Texas law restricting abortions remaining in place while abortion providers were allowed in a Friday decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to continue challenging it.

The pinkos only want to destroy. They don't really care which pretext they use. If it wasn't this it would be something else.

We’ve been having a civil war for years. Unfortunately, only one side is fighting that war and winning rather easily. The other side discounts anything that happens outside of their own residence.

Did his parents neglect to change their name to strengthen him against bullies as in A Boy Named Sue sung by Johnny Cash?

Although it also has the meaning of cocaine.

Sadly true and no one wants to talk about it.

There will only be a civil war if enough refuse to comply with communism.

They are afraid that there are enough.

The North no longer has the massive manufacturing advantage it had the last time, so I suspect the upcoming “Civil War” will be between the South, and the North allied with the EU and China.
