The Second Civil War"

[livingston]

The following is the speech that I delivered this Sunday at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention in Myrtle Beach. My appreciation to Joe Dugan and everyone involved in organizing it and making it a reality once again. And to Don Neuen and Donna Fiducia of Cowboy Logic Radio for the introduction. And to anyone and everyone still fighting the good fight.)

This is a civil war.

There aren’t any soldiers marching on Charleston… or Myrtle Beach. Nobody’s getting shot in the streets. Except in Chicago… and Baltimore, Detroit and Washington D.C.

But that’s not a civil war. It’s just what happens when Democrats run a city into the ground. And then they dig a hole in the ground so they can bury it even deeper.

If you look deep enough into that great big Democrat hole, you might even see where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

But it’s not guns that make a civil war. It’s politics.

Guns are how a civil war ends. Politics is how it begins.

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?

Clinton–Obama Emails: The Key to Understanding Why Hillary Wasn’t Indicted
New FBI texts highlight a motive to conceal the president’s involvement. From the first, these columns have argued that the whitewash of the Hillary Clinton–emails caper was President Barack Obama’s call — not the FBI’s, and not the Justice Department’s. (See, e.g., here, here, and here.) The decision was inevitable. Obama, using a pseudonymous email account, had repeatedly communicated with Secretary Clinton over her private, non-secure email account. These emails must have involved some classified information, given the nature of consultations between presidents and secretaries of state, the broad outlines of Obama’s own executive order defining classified intelligence (see EO 13526, section 1.4), and the fact that the Obama administration adamantly refused to disclose the Clinton–Obama emails. If classified information was mishandled, it was necessarily mishandled on both ends of these email exchanges. If Clinton had been charged, Obama’s culpable involvement would have been patent. In any prosecution of Clinton, the Clinton–Obama emails would have been in the spotlight. For the prosecution, they would be more proof of willful (or, if you prefer, grossly negligent) mishandling of intelligence. More significantly, for Clinton’s defense, they would show that Obama was complicit in Clinton’s conduct yet faced no criminal charges.

As long as the bread and circus flow (iphones, internet, and more than anything: gasoline sub-$5/gallon) then we will see no significant civil unrest.

I hope you're right but I don't know.



Remember recent incidents like these?

Steve Scalise Among 4 Shot at Baseball Field; Suspect Is Dead

Ugly, bloody scenes in San Jose as protesters attack Trump supporters outside rally

Charlottesville protest report finds police failed at violent rally


Etc...


There are a ton of shit stirrers on both sides, an outright lying media, an attempted deep state coup and on top of all that roughly half the country can't find any political middle ground with the other half.

I just wonder what it would take to have things escalate our of control to the point of open hostilities. I would see civil war 2 as more of an insurgency type conflict being primarily rural 's. Urban .


I hope it doesn't ever get to that point.

2020 will be quite interesting

Uh, @freddies post was not a hopefull one.
So the left rising up worries you? What should worry you is they stay the course and legislate all our rights away, as they have been.
Its not to the left's advantage to turn the cold war hot.

And when at 5 bucks a gallon, they'll still pay and say it's the Republicans fault because they take all the oil. That's what they think. That's what they say. I know because I work with them. Nevermind that gas was 2.25 a gallon under Bush and 4 bucks a gallon under Obama's first term. The Republicans are the crooks. They want to drill to bring the price down. No! It'll hurt the environment. Dumbasses.

Well to be fair there , is corruption and greed on both sides of the fence. Although I don't see it coming anytime soon, the kindling is piling up . A black swan event could set it off , sooner than we think .

On the other hand ,If Trump can survive,( literally) and make it 8 years in the white house, I think the Lefties will come around a bit. After they see more Jobs, More people working , stock market up .and that trump hasn't brought back slavery, and thrown lefties into camps . They may realize that he wasn't really so bad after all .

I agree with video , wars start well before the first shots are fired.
