    Default Hoo Boy! It's Not Just The Right Gunning For Civil War

    Los Angeles to shut off water, power of nonessential businesses that refuse to close amid coronavirus
    By Michael Ruiz | Fox News

    Los Angeles authorities could shut down water and power to nonessential businesses that refuse to close amid the coronavirus outbreak there, according to local reports.


    “We won’t tolerate the selfish behavior of a few who unnecessarily put our community at risk,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a press release on his website.


    He also said his “Safer at Home” emergency shelter-in-place order would be strictly enforced.




    @MayorOfLA
    Let me be clear: it is unacceptable for non-essential businesses to continue their operations as normal.


    I announced the Safer at Home Business Ambassadors Program to help ensure businesses comply with our emergency order to keep our communities safe. http://Mayor.LA/4PeX30qsuiG

    7:10 PM - Mar 24, 2020


    The order requires LA residents to stay at home except for in a number of situations, including to get food, health or medical necessities -- as well as to care for children or adult relatives, friends and people with disabilities, according to the mayor’s office.


    Nonessential businesses include bars, restaurants, movie theaters, bowling alleys, salons and gyms.

    But nonessential businesses that remain open despite the order are “irresponsible and selfish,” Garcetti said during his daily press briefing on Tuesday, according to KTLA.

    The state/city trying to say: 'You WILL obey' is an open dare to disobedience.

    Those saying: 'YOU can't make me!' have demonstrated a two year old's tendency towards Oppositional Disorder, willing to put others at risk.

    Both are nuts and the rest of us are paying the price.

    I'd like to see, "Opening responsibly, keep the vulnerable in mind with your actions." Doesn't seem that hard to me. No 100% guarantees, but the best one can get in the real world.

    The US Civil War was started by hothead extremists on BOTH sides, and they were vocal minorities as they are now. The differences between the two sides are actually pretty mush the same now as they were then.

    Joe Average just got swept up and away to war mostly as a result of reacting to propaganda and minor, isolated instances blown out of proportion by guess who ... the MSM.

    The biggest thing going for not having another civil war now is we have a lot more chickenshits now than we had then.

    True and a damn lot of that can be laid at the feet of the parents, since boys are pretty much no longer actively and primarily taught to become men.
    Our liberal public school systems beats it out of them-except the very stubborn few and the ones whose parents actively reverse that liberal indoctrination, imho.
    First thing I and my 6 brothers were taught as very young boys-- was that a man stands his ground !- come hell or high water!
    Here in the South of the 50's/60's that was taught as a matter of course.
    Now from what I see it is---NOT TAUGHT-- as a matter of course- in fact the opposite is being taught.
    I myself have the scars on me to prove that I have never let my father down in that teaching.
    What scars do these video gaming kids and young adults have now? Vast majority have none.... A pity-that...
    What do they face to toughen them up?? Most nothing....
    What hard labor do they do as kids-as teenagers-- next to nothing.
    Those that go through military training(especially the Marine Corps) are blessed to finally be taught some of that and also get the discipline that most never got from their parents..--Tyr

    Yeah okay tough guy, the Civil War wasn't fought because people "stood their ground" it was fought because people had other people "stand their ground" most of those who were doing the actual fighting on BOTH sides couldn't have given a shit less what the war was over.

    Same as today, most people have no interest in the petty fights between the extremist idiots on the left and the right, they are too busy trying to just survive.

    Unfortunately, I think you are correct. Only "the South" is now "the Right", and "the North" is now "the left". Barring an unforeseen miracle, the left will beat the right again.

    Yeah, they're a bunch of pussies. Who march in lockstep, and won't do anything until they get back in power. Look what it's done with just the House.

    By the time conservatives get their act together it'll be too little too late. They can't even support their President. They'd rather give up the House, and they did. If the right doesn't get its act together REAL quick, I hope conservatives enjoy all this socialism we have going on right now because it's just going to get worse.

    It's funny that the Civil War began at least in part because Democrats wanted black people to count towards representation in the House but remain the property of white guys, and what do we see today? Democrats using blacks for votes while attempting to keep them in slavery.

    All the while telling everyone else how "progressive" they are.

    if black people in general were not absolutely stupid the DNC would never have power again. I mean plenty of white idiots vote DNC as well, but if the BLACKS would just 50% of them vote Republican, the DNC would disappear.

    As for your post in another thread about the DNC being the new mafia, you are absolutely correct, but their ties go back a LONG ways, Back to FDR at least, FDR was elected because mafia controlled unions made sure he got elected 4 times.
