The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
Fortunately this is a division of philosophy, not of hatred, the defense of America on this front best accomplished with illumination, not violence.
Excepting those times when anarchists and criminals want to devolve your neighborhood into a Fergusonian utopia. Times like that, one has to fill one's fist with more than good intentions.
Otherwise, though, I hope the war can be won by enlightenment and reason.

God and the soldier we adore,
In times of danger, not before.
The danger gone, the trouble righted,
God's forgotten, the soldier slighted.

You're either joking or being sarcastic...
Which one, please?

One of the many bogus slogans of the left is they want to save humanity...
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H.L. Mencken
...while I wait for tl's response...

We've got problems.

treadlightly,
I'm not even guardedly optimistic.
The leftist/commies are boiling out of the woodwork like evil little fire ants, but while they have hysterics on their side, we have hardware on ours...

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
Hopefully we have more than just fire power. We also have facts, reason, logic and common sense. There are some who claim we even have the numbers as in the silent majority.

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
A very good blog post on the topic, actually written back in 2014: http://taxicabdepressions.com/?p=1193. Warning: it isn't FULL of profanity, but there are a few words sprinkled throughout what is a very long post. Excellent reading though, and I can't say that I disagree with the author too much.

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
We also have restraint.......which is why the other side is winning. In another blog post, this author wrote the following:Liberty wrote:Hopefully we have more than just fire power. We also have facts, reason, logic and common sense. There are some who claim we even have the numbers as in the silent majority.
That is the burden of our side........we are defending the limits of human conduct. The left is limited only by its imagination. In other words, I believe that we are stuck way up high on Bandini Mountain, without skis or rope.The War in the Vendée is interesting for a number of reasons, but one important lesson is the fervor of those protecting their way of life is no match for the zeal of the Utopian fanatic building his paradise. The romantic rustics of the countryside were beaten by the savvy fanatics of Paris. It was not just the numbers or the resources. The people of the Vendée were people defending the limits of human conduct, while the Committee For Public Safety was limited only by its imagination. They would do anything to reach the promised land.

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
After Trump was elected, there were FB posts by what I thought were snowflakes, expressing concern the Trump's election would lead to violence. I didn't realize at that time that those were threats, not worries. But now we have organized gangs using bats, pepper spray and masks to attack conservatives. We are in a civil war and it is not just a war of philosophies.

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
And the reason those mooks are still alive is because the rest of the country believes in personal restraint. When the rest of society gets pushed far enough, those bats and pepper spray aren't going to be much use against firearms. And the mooks aren't going to have the benefit of victim status when they get shot in self defense.stroo wrote:After Trump was elected, there were FB posts by what I thought were snowflakes, expressing concern the Trump's election would lead to violence.

Re: Winning the Civil War of Two Americas
Tam, if this site had a "like" button, I'd "like" your response. I truly feel we are very close to the restraint busting plumb loose. And then.....it's going to be ugly. Very ugly.
