The Republican circular firing squad continues unabated
 [American Thinker] Many people say that America is in a cold civil war, and I won't disagree. However, conservative America is also fighting a civil war. On the one side are the 75—80 million (or more) Americans who support Trump's agenda and Trump himself. On the other side are a handful of political operatives who really dislike Trump-supporters.Yesterday, news broke big about the NeverTrump Lincoln Project, which is now coming face-to-face with the fact that its co-founder, who was a Republican more than 16 years ago, is a sexual predator with a reputation stretching back over thirty years. The Lincoln Project's deep, open hostility to Trump-supporters is an obvious example of the civil war on the right. Another example is emerging with the establishment's war on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). She's a QAnon-supporter with some wacky theories, at least one of which borders on anti-Semitic. I'm not a fan. Having said that, she's a stalwart defender of traditional American values, including that tattered document known as the Constitution. She shows no signs of acting on her loony, vaguely anti-Semitic ideas or of being hostile to Israel. We need her vote in Congress. However, when the Democrats pointed to her and said, "Oooh, icky," Republicans fell over themselves to disavow her. The most recent example is China Mitch McConnell, who called her a "cancer for the Republican Party." No, Greene is not a cancer. She's an eccentric, and less toxic than Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Occasional-Cortex, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, and Rashida Tlaib (except when, amazingly, Tlaib is standing up for civil liberties). Greene is also less toxic than Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Barbara Lee, and all the other extremists on the left. All of them have shown themselves over the years to be some combination of racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-American. And when I say "anti-American," I don't just mean that they're hostile to the country they purportedly represent; they're also hostile to you, the American people. Trump's presidency revealed that.
