Secession, Nullification, and the Ingredients for Civil War

Introduction by The Editor:



Personally, I'd like to live in a country with tight borders, strong national defense, and lots of individual liberty.  A country in which free-market capitalism regulates more than the government, so the citizens aren't required to buy a 1.6-gallon toilet or a specific kind of government-approved laundry soap.  A country where you can still buy a gas-guzzling Oldsmobile if you'd rather not drive a Korean clown car (with no spare tire).  A country that doesn't spend taxpayers' money on multi-million-dollar sports stadiums and arenas that most of us will never use.  A country in which life is harsh for those who didn't pay attention in school and can't live without a cell phone.  A country in which English is the official language and foreign-language broadcasting is illegal.  It won't be easy; in fact it may never happen.  It may be too late already.

Events like this are becoming more common:
Coffee shop employee kicks out conservative customer.  Marilyn Synek loves the coffee and crepes at Cultiva Espresso & Crepes in Lincoln, Nebraska.  Her weekly visits have become something of a tradition.  But on Wednesday [9/11/2019], Synek tells me she was confronted by one of the employees who demanded that she leave the coffee shop because of her conservative beliefs.

Update -- with an additional detail that I missed the first time:
Trans Barista Boots Conservative From Coffee Shop.  On Wednesday 9/11/2019], a transgender barista booted a young conservative woman from a coffee shop in Lincoln, Neb., attacking her for her political principles.  The coffee shop later apologized to the conservative woman and fired the impolite barista — in a move the barista interpreted as evidence of discrimination against transgender people.

The Editor says...
Aha!  It turns out that the woman wasn't ejected "because of her conservative beliefs," but because the employee is a troublemaking transvestite snowflake who can't tolerate dissenting opinions.  And of course the transvestite is now claiming to be the victim of the trouble he stirred up.  This is another way that America is split into two incompatible groups:  those who see nothing wrong with men dressing as women, and... the rest of us.

Trans privilege:  Liberal media sugarcoats the story of a transgender employee harassing a conservative customer.  Guess what happens when an employee randomly harasses a customer and throws them out of the store without cause?  The employee gets fired, that's what.  And everyone, or at least everyone sensible, agrees that they deserve it.  Unless, of course, that employee is transgender.  Then, as intersectionality demands, special rules apply.  The progressive and LGBT media cover the incident in a way that implies the trans employee's actions were righteous, so long as the person they targeted was a conservative.  Or at least, that's how NBC News and the Hill bizarrely decided to spin the story.

No Matter Who Wins in 2020, There Will Be Blood.  The machinations of an illiberal left, on display in its ever-increasing violence accompanied by the ululations of a propagandist media in contravention of an imaginary "white supremacist" right, have riven the nation into diametrically opposed camps.  The right will never accept socialism, while the left will accept nothing less.  Those on the left will not allow a Trump victory, even should he win the popular vote and the Electoral College. [...] Antifa, the military arm of the Democratic Party, has not spent the last three years practicing and organizing merely to sit on the sidelines.

Democrats' Gun Buy-Back Plan Would Backfire Horrifically.  [W]hile such plans might be politically profitable in a left-wing primary, in practice they could end in catastrophe.  When Australia and New Zealand initially mandated buy-backs of assault weapons, most gun owners ignored the decrees.  Similar non-compliance over laws to surrender or register guns has since occurred in California, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and elsewhere.  Nor is there a clear, consistent definition of "assault weapon": automatic weapons are already effectively banned by federal law.  Depending on how the term is defined — like if you include semi-automatic rifles built on the AR-15 design — there could be as many as 10 million "assault weapons" in private hands.  What would happen if the feds decided to vigorously enforce confiscation of all of those firearms?

33 Tough Questions for Pro-Immigration Christians.  We're past the point where fuzzy rhetoric and damp-eyed virtue signaling can mask the deep divisions in our country.  And we're coming close to the moment where demographic realities will hand the pro-abortion, pro-socialist, gun-grabbing anti-Christian Democrats almost overwhelming power.  If not quite forever, for the rest of our lifetimes and our children's.  We might well leave the next generation behind as hostages to our own moral cowardice and desperate desire not to be called unpleasant names.

American Civil War: Four Fates, From Freedom to Soviet Tyranny.  I don't mean to say that to create a feeling of defeat -- far from it.  But the first step in dealing with a situation is understanding reality.  And reality is very simple today.  At a minimum, the Left has coopted the following elements of culture in the United States -- they have been, over time, "converged" into Leftism:
  •   The K-12 educational system.
  •   Colleges and Universities.
  •   Most Protestant religious organizations.
  •   Most Catholic organizations.
  •   The psychological establishment.
  •   The American Medical Association.
  •   All mainstream news media.
  •   All mainstream entertainment media.
  •   Most departments of the Federal government, absent the armed services.
  •   The general officer corps of the armed services.
  •   The courts.
  •   Silicon Valley tech companies.
  •   Many (but not all) Fortune® 500™ companies.
This isn't an accident, it's entirely by plan.  And not only by plan, it's by a plan that was entirely shared.

The Role of Gun Control in Dictatorship.  Eventually, there will be conflict, which brings us to the Second Amendment.  The fate of everything the Left intends depends in the end on whether normal, non-communist Americans have the power to make the price of dictatorship so high that the Left will be unwilling to force it to completion.  If Americans can be disarmed and neutralized, they can be imprisoned without trials.  If they can be made powerless, they can be shot at without fear that they'll shoot back.  If they can be conquered, they can be subjugated and made to serve their totalitarian masters.  The Second Amendment was always about exactly this scenario.  The Founders did not insist on the Second Amendment so that they could hunt in perpetuity but because they feared a large, authoritarian government controlled by unethical and immoral politicians and their mobs.

The Mountebank Left Is Banking on You.  Some time ago, I noted the irreconcilable difference between the Left and the rest of America:  the majority of our fellow citizens believe America is an inherently good nation that continues its pursuit of a more perfect union; the Left believes America is an inherently evil nation that must be transformed fundamentally into an oppressive socialist state — at best. [...] This is a dangerous devolution of the classical American political paradigm, in which both antagonists, conservatives and liberals, agreed America was an exceptional, fundamentally decent nation but differed about how to effectuate a more perfect union.  This devolution has several causes, but notable is the incestuous relationship between the leftist media and left-wing academics.

The White Supremacy Hoax.  More surely, an inherently abusive campaign of racial profiling itself guarantees deadly friction.  One of these days, some misdirected SWAT team will shoot it out with innocent people, with casualties on both sides, or some person unjustly ruined will take his tormentors to the grave with him.  One police force will fight another.  The paths to civil war are many.  A generation of domestic peace is increasingly difficult to imagine.

Civil War Over 2nd Amendment?  Pay Attention.  This is the time when a good government can go bad, when the laws of freedom that have governed us for over 200 years are in jeopardy.  It could easily lead to civil war to have everyone who owns a semi-automatic rifle instantly become a criminal.  It's what happens when people run on emotion rather than rational thought on the consequences of their actions.

Also posted under emotion versus reason.

Heading for civil war.  Donald Trump's opponents are completely unhinged.  The hate and slander directed towards the president and his supporters is off the charts.  The vitriol comes not just from the Democrat party, the media, and the world of entertainment, but also from a sizable proportion of the federal bureaucracy and many seemingly ordinary people.  The media coordinates this campaign and amplifies the hate at every opportunity.  Media twist every event, be it big or small, into a criticism of the president.  The goal is always to present Trump in not just an unfavorable light but to make him appear too loathsome for polite society.  And Trump is not the sole target of this demonization.  It is directed at his supporters, too.

Igniting Civil War.  Government sponsorship of violence against opponents or complacency in the face of incitement to violence is a powerful tool of political repression.  Regimes such as Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Nicaragua, China, and other tyrannies have used such tactics to great effect.  When mobs attack anti-government demonstrators, for example, the police either disappear or stand by watching.  In American cities run by Democrats and on the U.S. college and university campuses, the authorities increasingly have been standing by as radicals do the dirty work of beating up or silencing conservatives.  In societies riven by mutual hate, the people who control the police and public communications make all the difference.  When they maintain impartiality, as did Germany's Weimar government while the Nazis and Communists struggled for primacy, partisan warfare tends to be resolved politically — though the results are harsh.  When societal hatred or the partiality of authorities results in deaths, long-smoldering cold civil war can blaze into holocaust.  We Americans are now facing the danger of a civil war thus ignited.

Civil war as entertainment.  Universal Pictures has produced a film called The Hunt (originally titled Red State vs. Blue State), which begins with rich liberals capturing "deplorables" from red states to hunt down and murder.  If you lived in Dayton, Ohio, you might consider this a realistic premise, although I don't think that is what the filmmakers had in mind.  This is the trailer; if I interpret it correctly, the "deplorables" fight back and win what looks like a civil war.  In that respect, one might say that the film is realistic.

A Transformation of the American Regime?  Almost all observers agree that America is profoundly divided.  This intense polarization has been described by the Claremont Institute's Angelo Codevilla as a "cold civil war."  What is it all about?  First and foremost, this conflict is between those who unhesitatingly love America, its history, culture, principles, and people and those who believe that "the United States of America," its past and present, is seriously flawed and, thus, in need of "fundamental transformation" as Barack Obama famously put it. [...] Around Independence Day, we saw the city council of Charlottesville, Virginia vote to cancel Thomas Jefferson's birthday holiday; Nike recall the Betsy Ross flag sneakers; the San Francisco School board vote to cover up a painting of the life of George Washington; and in St Louis Park, Minnesota, the city council vote to abandon the traditional "Pledge of Allegiance" before its meetings.

Breaking Down The Imminent Second USA American Civil War.  [Video clip]

Pete Buttigieg Warns Black Americans of Another Civil War.  Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday [7/2/2019] warned Black Americans of a new civil war if the federal government failed to end racist institutions and pay reparations for slavery.  "If we do not tackle the problem of racial inequality in my lifetime, I am convinced that it will upend the American project in my lifetime," he warned.  "It brought our country to its knees once and if we do not act, it could again."

The Editor says...
Was that a warning of an impending civil war, or an incitement of civil war?

Can We All Put Aside Our Differences, Recommit Ourselves to Each Other, Our Nation?  It took a lot of muscle, blood, courage and tenacity to tame a continent. [...] It took a people who were willing to claim this wild land foot by foot and come together armed with a few muskets and squirrel rifles to defeat the most well-equipped and feared military force on the planet.

The Editor says...
The writer goes on to say how great the United States once was, before finally urging us all to set aside our differences.  It is a script suitable for a July 4th speech, right before the fireworks show.  But there is no way I'm going to set aside my differences with violent, godless, corrupt, destructive, lying, parasitic, earth-worshiping, self-pitying, race-baiting, statue-removing, vote-stealing, gun-grabbing, baby-killing, Socialist Democrats, as if we're all one big happy family.

Dangerous Derangement.  America cannot continue as a republic without the acceptance that one party routinely will be turned out of office.  Democrats no longer accept that bedrock principle of American liberty.  They see themselves as the only party entitled to govern.  "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and the Russian collusion frame-up are two faces of the same coin:  Democrats now reject the orderly succession of power through duly constituted elections.  Democrats have whipped the nation into mass hysteria for three years.  It's a destructive game, manipulating people into a rage until Americans see each other as enemies.  Most dangerous of all, driven by the social justice agenda of Obama progressives, Democrats are purposely delegitimizing our democratic institutions.

Oregon Senate closes due to 'possible militia threat' after Republican walkout.  The Oregon state Senate closed Saturday [6/22/2019] after a "possible militia threat" from a right-wing group — amid a broader drama over a walkout by Republican lawmakers over looming climate change legislation.  Right-wing groups posted their support for the 12 rebel Republicans on Friday, including one group — the Oregon Three Percenters — who joined in an armed takeover of a wildlife refuge in 2016.

Joe Biden, 76, wants a violent civil war.  Ryan Saavedra reports for the Daily Wire that on Monday, June 17, at the Moral Action Congress of the Poor People's Campaign in Washington, D.C., Demonrat 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden was asked by MSNBC's Joy Reid:  "How would you get past either a majority Republican Senate in which Mitch McConnell was determined to kill all of these ideas or even a Mitch McConnell in the minority who repeated the consistent filibustering when you were vice president and anything that came from the Obama-Biden administration Mitch McConnell considered dead on arrival?"  Biden replied:  "Joy, I know you're one of the ones who thinks it's naive to think we have to work together.  The fact of the matter is if we can't get a consensus, nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive.  There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight.  Let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it."

Civil War II Weather Report:  Spicy Time Coming.  Civil wars don't happen all at once, and like a strong storm, they require the atmosphere to be right.  A weather report is probably a good metaphor.  So, to review the future, let's start by looking at Civil War I so we understand what happened, and what the potential differences are.

Biden Suggests Starting 'Physical Revolution' To Deal With Republicans.  Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to suggest using violence against Republicans on Monday in response to a question about how he as president would deal with opposition to his agenda in the Senate from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. [...] "There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight," Biden continued, later adding:  "Let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it."  [Video clip]

Nancy Pelosi needs to stop her endless war against Trump.  [Scroll down]  The majority of voters understand that Mueller had the time, investigators, and incentive to find any dirt he could.  His probe was vast and expensive — he summoned 500 witnesses, issued 2,800 subpoenas and used grand juries and heavily armed agents in search warrant raids.  If Trump had broken the law, Mueller would have found it.  Forget the noise and legalisms:  in a binary world, the president was cleared.  So it's past time for the left to get over 2016 and accept that Trump was legitimately elected and is entitled to the full powers of the presidency.  Her party's continual denial of that reality is the dry tinder that makes Pelosi's gamble so reckless.  Mueller was their best shot and to talk of prison now smacks of third-world countries where there is no peaceful transfer of power.

The divisions among Americans are reaching a tipping point.  As a nation, and with President Trump at the helm, we have finally reached that proverbial crossroads, that moment in which truth must finally shine its light, or else deception will darken the world for generations to come.  I sense that the wheat is about to be separated from the chaff, and the uncommitted must finally take up arms for one side or the other.  There will be no neutrality.  Warning to those of us on the right:  The Left already knows all this, and leftists are preparing for the final battle.

A Future You Don't Want.  While you were sleeping, the Democrats (abetted by some deviant Republicans) have been working on a plan that would destroy the diversity of the American political system and bring the nation to the brink of civil war.  The plan is called The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and tens of millions of dollars have already been spent over several decades trying to implement it.

The Surprisingly Solid Mathematical Case of the Tin Foil Hat Gun Prepper.  Pretend you're someone with your eyes on the horizon.  What would you be looking for, exactly?  Increasing partisanship.  Civil disorder.  Coup rhetoric.  A widening wealth gap.  A further entrenching oligarchy.  Dysfunctional governance.  The rise of violent extremist ideologies such as Nazism and Communism.  Violent street protests.  People marching with masks and dressing like the Italian Blackshirts.  Attempts at large scale political assassination.  Any one of those might not necessarily be the canary in the coal mine, but all of them in aggregate might be alarming to someone with their eyes on the horizon.  Someone with disproportionate faith in the state is naturally inclined to disregard these sorts of events as a cognitive bias, while someone with little faith in the state might take these signs to mean they should buy a few more boxes of ammunition. [...] So that's another canary in the coal mine for the tin foil hat right winger — you have a class of people who are vehemently demanding confiscation of rifles in the public sphere, while some of them are secretly building underground fortresses in the private sphere.

The Coming Civil War Over Abortion.  A civil war is coming to America.  Only this time it will be abortion, rather than slavery, that divides the nation.  And while I hope with all my heart that it will not be a physically violent war, the ideological conflict will certainly be intense.

Sanctuary Laws and the Death of E Pluribus Unum.  Sanctuary laws are a gateway to chaos.  If such rebellion is allowed to stand, are there any limits at all? [...] Authority on immigration matters — which are part of foreign policy — must be held by the federal government.  Without deference to federal law we are no longer a nation, but a hodge-podge of 50 separate nation-states pulling in different directions.

It's Not Trump Derangement Syndrome.  The derangement we are facing is not Orange Man Bad; it is America Bad.  The Democrats don't believe in our two-party system anymore.  They utterly reject American civic norms of treating the president with a modicum of respect and cooperation.  They don't want to alternate presidential power every four or eight years.  They think theirs is the only party that deserves to be elected.

Mississippi flag ordered out of park near Statue of Liberty.  New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is ordering that the Mississippi flag be replaced by the American flag at a state park that overlooks the Statue of Liberty because it has a Confederate emblem on it.

So much for E Pluribus Unum.
New Jersey's Dem governor says Mississippi flag won't fly in park near Statue of Liberty.  New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy ordered the Mississippi flag removed from a state park Friday [4/27/2019] over the Confederate emblem that adorns it, as the nationwide debate rages over symbols honoring the antebellum South.  Murphy, a Democrat, ordered the flag be replaced with an American flag at Liberty State Park, a preserve of more than 1,200 acres in Jersey City that overlooks Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, just across the harbor from New York City, reported.  The park has traditionally flown the flags of all 50 states.

The Editor says...
The liberals have to inject politics into everything.  The socialists are bent on destroying American traditions.  Draw your own conclusions about the New Jersey Governor.

'Shedding of blood' may be required to save US, author of an Arizona immigration law says.  Russell Pearce, a former president of the Arizona state Senate who helped author a controversial immigration law in the state, appeared to advocate for violence for the U.S. to save itself in remarks delivered earlier this week.  Pearce, a Republican, spoke Monday [4/15/2019] at a rally in Gilbert, Ariz., dubbed "Patriotism Over Socialism."  Other featured speakers included Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward and Laura Loomer, whose anti-Muslim social media posts have gotten her banned from Twitter, Uber and Lyft, the Arizona Republic reported.  "And it may take the shedding of blood to keep this Republic," Pearce.  "And I, for one, am willing to do whatever it takes."

Electoral College scheme:  Grounds for civil war?  In their bid to establish dictatorial, totalitarian, socialist rule in the United States, Democrats all over the country are pushing a plainly anti-constitutional scheme to erase the constitutional method for electing the president of the United States. [...] The states have no lawmaking power to alter the authority of electors chosen by the people.  States can regulate the manner of choosing the electors, but they cannot dictate the terms of their vote, as if the electors themselves do not exist.  Such legislation is not a law; it is an act of rebellion against the duly constituted government of the United States.  If they pretend to claim power as a result of this anti-constitutional scheme, their rebellion will properly be the signal for civil war.

The Never-Ending Threat of Civil War.  We and the Left are now two nations within one country.  This is undeniable.  We are now so different that we cannot even agree on what a country is, or on the merits of a country having a border.  The number of people who still say, "I just don't care about politics" dwindles.  It is still possible to hate both sides — but it is getting hard to be indifferent and still be breathing.  How many people can just take or leave infanticide?  How many people are entirely flexible about the idea of the government having authority over anything and everything, to experimenting with our fundamental demographics, or to giving up fossil fuels cold turkey?  The "news," whether ours or theirs, focuses myopically on the daily round of legal wrangling that now completely lacks the power to resolve our differences.  The law has degenerated into a mere procedural habit.  Few people, and even fewer officials, were genuinely interested in whether Robert Mueller was pursuing the truth or not.  The assumption, on both sides, was that he wasn't.  What matters now is simply which side wins.

The Democratic Party, Not America, Is Experiencing a Civil War.  Contrary to the overheated speculation of so many, the United States is not on the cusp of another civil war.  Sure, things are tense in America's political system.  Things usually are.  Americans are not, however, about to take up arms against each other and hunt down those with whom they disagree.

For Peace in America, We Must Return to the Rule of Law.  It remains to be seen if our internal divisions will explode into mass violence, but the likelihood of that will be determined by the extent to which the rule of law is re-established in this country.  For if we don't have recourse at the ballot box (our elections are stolen by the likes of Brenda Snipes, "ballot-harvesting", etc.), and there is a wildly uneven application of the law (in the course of a now discredited investigation, Roger Stone is arrested with more firepower on hand than was used to take down Osama bin Laden, while the likes of Comey, Hillary, Obama, Brennan, Lynch walk free), then many Americans will conclude that there is nothing left to defend our rights besides force of arms.  The collapse of the Mueller charade has served to move the hands of the civil war doomsday clock back a few notches, but now we need to see real criminals held accountable.

5 Reasons We're In This Mess.  We are in the midst of a very, very dangerous time.  Anyone who still believes in the power of the vote to reconcile our differences has not been paying attention.  The time for campaigning things away has come and gone and there will never — until this conflict settles matters in flesh and blood — be a coming together of one side with the other.  It is purposeless at this point to reason with one another, sides have been clearly drawn and like a family dispute, everyone knows where everyone else stands on the matter.  The premise is simple; there are those who want the heritage America of the past and those who want another country altogether.  Those aren't views that can be reconciled and both sides are convinced that they hold the moral high ground.  The conflict has a neo-theological feel to it.  It has become a religion to many, the righting of historical wrongs on people living in the present and the only solution is final.  There is no compromise with someone who wants you gone.


What would a hybrid civil war look like?  If a civil war were actually underway it would take the form of hybrid warfare and look much like what can already be observed today.  It would explain why, in an era obsessed with safe spaces and tolerance, there is little of either left; why no one is safe from offense, nothing is private; why everything is increasingly criminalized.  That context would explain why each new restriction, whether on the use of cash, private transportation, or gun ownership can be perceived as a veiled threat.

Is a Second Civil War Coming?  Civil wars are horrendous and bloody affairs.  That's why we should avoid them.  They happen when two sides cannot settle on who runs the country.  When they can't reconcile the matter through elections, the country falls apart.  When one side does not accept the election results, we have a countdown to a civil war.

America's Second Civil War Has Already Begun.  Its opening shots were fired by Barack Obama when he stated, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."  Most of this country is center-right and never considered America a place that needed transformation.  Most people can think of things they would change but few believe the nation needs to be torn down and rebuilt.  Obama failed but the left soldiers on in its quest for a new America remade in their own image. [...] For example, their "open borders" policy is effectively importing a new electorate — one guaranteed to vote for them.

Is a Second Civil War Coming?  It is no secret that Democrats and Republicans are more ideologically divided than in recent years.  Parts of the country detest the other parts.  Coastal elites dislike flyover country.  The blue states despise the red states, and vice versa.  We may now be near a point comparable to 1860.  Modern Democrats hate President Trump as much as the Democrats of old hated President Lincoln.  Democrats repudiated Lincoln for opposing slavery, and modern Democratic leaders are repudiating Lincoln's belief that the government is of the people, for the people, and by the people.  Then as now, Democrats are on the wrong side of history.

CNN Publishes Obama Official's Civil War Conspiracy:  Calls for Military, State Rebellion If President Trump Refuses to Accept Defeat After 2020 Election.  CNN published an op-ed on Saturday by a former Obama administration official that calls for planning, including the military and a rebellion of states, should President Trump refuse to "peacefully" leave office if he loses his 2020 re-election bid and fails to accept the results.  While the Obama official does not use the phrase "civil war", it is the name for the rebellion of states and the military that he calls for if Trump will not "peacefully" hand over the reins of government on January 20, 2021 following an election defeat.  Curiously, the op-ed comes the day after a 2018 election for a Congressional seat in North Carolina was vacated due to fraud and a new election ordered to take place by the State Board of Elections.

Joe diGenova warns America is too polarized, suggests on brink of a real 'civil war'.  There's no denying that America faces a serious cultural divide today, with left and right more angry and polarized than at any time in recent memory.  Some believe there is a cultural-driven civil war of sorts underway, based on severe social and ideological disagreements, but Joseph diGenova, the former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, believes that divide will eventually result in violence.  Appearing on The Laura Ingraham Podcast, diGenova said our differences go beyond civil discord and that it's going to result in "total war," saying people should take care to properly arm themselves.

On Civil War and the Political Class in America.  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 Dems 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.

Omar and AOC
Pelosi's Untouchables.  Reps.  Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are becoming examples of a new super-class of human being, riding roughshod over all their peers, proudly displaying their ignorance of, and hatred toward, all things American.  They are Pelosi's Untouchables.  Deriding the traditional patriotism and conservatism of the American people, the socialist club in Congress spews kook theology, far-left ideology, and outrageous cultural Marxism.  They are the tip of the sword that will skewer this nation and engulf us all into a prolonged civil war based on race and religion.  And Pelosi is allowing all of it.

Covington Gives Us a Glimpse of Civil War Two.  During the attempted electronic lynching of the Covington Catholic high school boys on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the mask hiding the Left's genocidal rage slipped and was momentarily visible.  The reality of the confrontation was inverted 180 degrees by the duplicitous mainstream media so that a smiling white teenager was made to face the wrath of an Orwellian two-minute hate that stretched on for days, even after the factual record was corrected.  Accelerated by social media, the virtual lynch mob called for, among other horrors, MAGA-hat-wearing teenage boys to be fed headfirst into wood chippers, or for them to be locked en-masse into their school and the school to be burned to the ground.  This hurricane of socially sanctioned racial fury did not arise spontaneously, but was the result of deliberate cultivation over the past few decades by the political Left, academia, the mainstream media, and the Hollywood entertainment elite.

The Left Won't Allow a Peaceful Separation.  [Scroll down]  Whether in these more recent cases or our own country's founding, political differences can become so pronounced that living under the same regime, where one's rights and power are controlled by another group seen as alien and threatening, is intolerable to both sides.  Elections become high stakes, imposing alternating tyrannies or liberations in the eyes of a divided people, and justifying extralegal mechanisms to prevent such risks.  A peaceful national separation is probably a good idea.  But those on the Right must face the most important obstacle:  The Left would never ever let us leave. [...] The Left would be embarrassed and discredited if their ideology were rejected by the group it is supposedly benefiting with the promise of diversity, equality, and progress.  Nailing shut the exits is a deliberate part of the Left's utopian quest for uniformity and expansive labeling of all of its opinions and policies as nonnegotiable "human rights."

Can Red and Blue State America Coexist?  The last several weeks and months Democrats have demonstrated for all to see what a radical party they've become.  The left wants 70 percent tax rates, an end to the First and Second Amendment rights, massive new government spending, an end to fossil fuel production, a government takeover of the healthcare system, an end to the Electoral College so they can win more elections and make states irrelevant, open borders, free everything, abortion on demand, impeachment of Donald Trump, and on and on.  Moreover, the ideological split in America between the values and economic operating systems of red states and blue states is more pronounced than an anytime in 150 years.  It is as if we were two nations today:  Red State America and Blue State America.  Can we continue to coexist as one nation?

The Verbal Part Of The Civil War Begins.  With the election of Donald Trump, the US right let its id off the leash.  Now pretty much everything conservatives have thought but not said is finding its way to Facebook, Twitter, and the evening news.  So it's no surprise that the left, wildly envious of conservatives' newfound rhetorical freedom, have decided that what's good for the misogynist pig is great for the crazed socialist.

Colleges Are Breeding Grounds for Civil War.  We have become a nation of angry people.  Too many of us carry a chip on our shoulder and find racism everywhere, sexism everywhere, misogyny rampant, homophobia out of control.  It is no wonder we have masked leftists lashing out with violence, a new congresswoman making profanity-laced speeches demanding President Trump's impeachment.  We now have a Democrat majority House of Representatives with scores of avowed communists in their ranks who are in no mood to cooperate with the system as founded, but to overturn it.

Online petition calls for US to give part of Minnesota to Canada.  An online petition is calling for the U.S. government to "Make America Great" by handing over the Northwest Angle of Minnesota to Canada.  Nearly 3,500 people have signed the petition, launched Sunday on "We the People," the White House's public platform.  The petition claims a surveying error more than 200 years ago placed the land under the wrong territory.  It's unclear who created the petition.  The author is only known by the initials C.C.

Will the 2020 Presidential Election be the Most Violent in American History?  2020 is not going to be very civilized.  The Democrats have narrowed down their convention city to one of these four:  Denver, Houston, Milwaukee, and Miami Beach, Florida.  The Republicans will hold their convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.  These are cities you will want to avoid in 2020.
