Is a second civil war brewing?

[SassyLady]

Show of hands, how many are willing to go to war over Confederate statute's staying up or being taken down?

Show of hands, how many are willing to go to war because someone sits down for the national anthem in complaint of poor treatment by police?

Show of hands, how many people willing to go to full ground war over men in woman's bathrooms?


Seems to me if those on the right to want to go to war over things It be for things like abortion and selling baby parts
For sending troops into illegal useless wars, for the gov't spying on all of every U.S. citizens communications, Limiting free speech, gov't corruption etc etc


So what's the new "civil war" to be about EXACTLY?

I will go to war gladly if books start burning.

I will go to war gladly if books start burning.

Liberals long ago had certain books banned from schools, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn , Tom Sawyer, etc.
Banned because of the language the author used to describe blacks...
We got a glimpse of what was to come way back then..
These people never stop--unless forced to stop...
And it is they_leftists/libs/dems) that are prone to use violence and ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO OVERCOME THEIR OPPOSITION
all the while painting that proclivity for violence as a conservative trait..

If they end up forcing a war--they will be smashed here in the South.
My generation cut their baby teeth on shooting guns, as soon as we could walk past our own backyard to hunt--with real guns--not toys...-Tyr

Has anyone taken a peek at a high school history book lately? You don't have to burn books when you can just rewrite them. Anyone reading that book who didn't know better would think that the modern day progressive viewpoint has been culturally dominant from the very beginning.

[High_Plains_Drifter]

here's a perspective that i have some agreement with.

Sheezuz... that sons a bitch sounds half out of his freakin' mind, like in need of a visit from home land security.

Why American schools no longer teach American History...http://nypost.com/2017/01/22/why-sch...rican-history/

what I don't get is - there are folks here and other places who seem to LIKE the idea.

[BoogyMan]

Civil conflict is an idiotic idea, but it would seem that it is the object of many folks dreams both left and right. The hate that divides America is heartbreaking and I fear that the loons have truly taken over the asylum.

Many of us speaking about that possibility do so because if pushed a bridge too far-- they that sow the wind will reap a smashing whirlwind in return.
Has nothing to do with that being our wish..
Lets be clear on that but has to do with us warning that the scum now marching with hate, violence and their eager agenda to destroy our history, our pride, our respect for our ancestors may push us too far..
Last time we (Southerners ) were pushed too far-- the results were not to the liking of the pushers even if they did eventually triumph-- they paid a damn high cost. Tyr

I don't even know if it would be north vs south. You may have those in the north who would side with you. Like a Viet Cong.

IF, and only IF...anyone in the United States of America attempted to cause, initiate, or use Force to Further Divide this nation. Those responsible would be punished under the Constitution as Anarchists, or members of any group who attempted a Coup upon the Government of the United States. Therefore. Those who take part in any attempt to create a CIVIL WAR (uprising) intended to Divide the nation, would be violating Federal Laws, and could be arrested, and tried in a Federal Court.

It will soon be more than one hundred and fifty years since the end of the American Civil War and the nation is once again seemingly irreparably divided. Extreme partisan politics between Republicans and Democrats has created what the President himself has called “a poisonous political climate” that has gridlocked Washington, polarized the electorate and reduced political debate to nothing more than petty mudslinging and ad hominem attacks. Is America merely going through a troubled time or, as some right-wing commentators have been claiming for years, is the country on the verge of a second civil war?

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Why else do you think the left has such extreme hatred of guns?

We all know the answer to that.

You can't fully subjugate a populous that is armed to the teeth.

I'll be clear. I responded to a question in the OP. It didn't say anything about tailoring said answer to the most wishful opinion. The division is clear, as is the violence. That isn't "wanting" it. It's seeing what's there.

There's too much wishful thinking going on. Like, a dialogue. That would assume there was a division and 2-or-more sides..Who's going to admit THAT?

IMO. anyone threatened by a statue needs to stand under it and push. THEN it might hurt you. Otherwise, these crybabies need to go back to serving their Big Mac's and STFU.

[Little-Acorn]

I think Civil War is the wrong term for it, I call it insurrection. Coup might also work.

"Temper Tantrum" is the phrase that comes to mind.

What else would you call the actions of a small number of immature, whining crybabies who can never get their facts straight?

I think you're right when it comes to some of the people protesting, they're mad and they don't really know why in many cases and are having a tantrum. Facebook is full of these types of people. I think their movement as a whole though is well thought out and are pursuing specific goals so in the case of their leadership it's not a tantrum, it's insurrection now that antifa is regularly armed.
