More than a decade ago, somewhere in the pages of National Review Online and writing under the name of my alter-ego, David Kahane, I coined the term, the Cold Civil War, and amplified the subject in my book, Rules for Radical Conservatives.
Despite all the evidence of the past several decades, you still have not grasped one simple fact: that, just about a century after the last one ended, we engaged in a great civil war, one that will determine the kind of country we and our descendants shall henceforth live in for at least the next hundred years — and, one hopes, a thousand. Since there hasn’t been any shooting, so far, some call the struggle we are now involved in the “culture wars,” but I have another, better name for it: the Cold Civil War.
Hasn't been any shooting so far. But with his recent rejection of federal authority, Texas governor Greg Abbott may have turned up the heat. Just as the South did during the first Civil War, Texas -- supported by fully half the states now -- has effectively nullified a Supreme Court order via the simple expedient of ignoring it. In this Abbott recalls another southern president, Andrew Jackson, who (perhaps apocryphally) in the case of Worcester v. Georgia (1832), said, “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”
Or, to paraphrase Stalin, how many divisions does John Roberts have?

I was not aware of this. Just what we need right?! /s
?
I am a life longer New Yorker. My family’s ancestors proudly served in the 69th NYV. I am proud of their service in support of the Union. But today that very Republic is in danger of being supressed. Therefore today I stand with Texas. And I firmly believe my ancestors who ascended Mayre’s Hrights stand with Texas as well.
Perhaps they've forgotten the opening words of the Declaration: "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..." If so, what happens next is on them.
Eh, we just need to do what the left does when a supreme court ruling doesn’t go their way. They ignore it. Pretend it never happened.
Supreme court rulings have no teeth.

RE:....to paraphrase Stalin, how many divisions does John Roberts have?
One. Found below his lower back.
Heh! Good one. 👍
The good news is the new black powder 50 cals are superior to the old 58 cal muskets !!
Yep.. we’d of better off if the South had won.
That’s true.. and slavery would have ended peacefully within about 10 years. It wasn’t slavery the South was fighting to defend. It was the right to safely phase it out on their own terms like the North had done.
Is it time the government will order US Citizens to house illegal immigrants in their homes?
We are being sold out by our own politicians, corporations government and the cabal in Europe Soros Schwab and the sickos in the UN, WHO, WEF, they all need to betaken to the shed. They have plans for us all that we must stop
If the south had prevailed in the Civil War, the world might look very different today.
It’s quite possible other states would have seceded from the Union over other issues, if the Confederate states won their independence. It’s quite possible there would be multiple countries in the land mass of the United States.
The implications of that are thought-provoking. Among other things , the United States may never have become the Supreme superpower that helped win World War II. The Axis powers may well have won World War II , without the United States intervening on the side of the allies. Because it’s quite possible there would have been no United States as we know it today.
Federalist/Anti-Federalist ping.
No this from SCOTUS. TX is being invaded because of a President who was clearly not validly elected. SCOTUS just pi$$ed down TX's neck and said it's raining.
I hope TX decides to secede.
First step might be to simply say "the Feds can't collect taxes from Texas citizens." That should get their attention.
Read Alexande Stephans’ defense of secession. Slavery was THE ISSUE. Additionally the Southern states wanted slavery to expand to the western territories.this clashed with the Western movement from the North. Kansas being the clearest example of what was to come. The Abolitionists may have been the South’s bogeyman, but it was the Free Soilers they feared and despised. They did believe slavery confined to the South would die. Finally much is made of the large %age of Southerners who did not own slaves as showing that slavery had less importance as a cause of secession. But the existence of slaves
allowed the slave owning aristocracy to assert the existence of equality based on color and the possibility of extending slavery to the West created the promise that poor whites could move West and join the slave holding society.
Thanks for the ping.
So far in our short history we have: Lexington and Concord
Manassas and Sumter. The later “rebellion” cost at least 800,000 lives.
If there is another confrontation with a king or government, the conflagration will make the first two rebellions look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.
