#1 Would we be here if we didn't covet, or bear false witness, or (use government to) steal?

#2 Imagine a Civil War where blue fought red, but only when red came to blue states because blue was terrified to go to red states where the people were armed and the government didn't put with that crap. Oh, and also dark blue fought with light blue in those blue states.

It'll be a short civil war and it'll turn the slightly red country far redder the longer it progresses.

#3 P2K, Most likely, a hell of a lot better off.

In keeping with the Rochester study posted yesterday, I'm trying to swear more as it is a sign of intelligence. I'm also running around at home naked. I'm going for that smart glasses Lenscrafter look also. I'm trying to avoid the mirror as there is this droopiness and I look like a naked dumbass with glasses who mutters to himself.

#4 The Holocaust. Stalin's USSR purges. Mao's Great Leap Forward. All have at least this in common: the victims did not fight back while their persecutors murdered them.

And the Author is comparing THOSE to the American Civil War, where BOTH sides fought? Certainly he points out oppressions and abuses that were made possible by leftists/demoncrats in positions of Authority that took advantage of our high regard for the Rule of Law, but that's not the same thing as being dragged out of our homes to be shipped in cattle cars to the death camps. Their current fury revolves around the loss of the veneer of Constitutional Authority conferred by the Presidency, that Trump now holds. The charade of impeachment is a fig leaf to try to make his removal appear constitutional and not trigger the Second Civil War.

Far from scaring me, I suddenly have realized that WE WILL FIGHT. These fools, capable of swallowing the falsehood that Venezuela is NOW a Worker's Paradise, and that Americans are like German Jews, Russian Kulaks, and Confucian Chinese.

Stupid thought: those who laugh at the concept of American Exceptionalism are gonna whine and complain when Americans start acting different from their Old World counterparts.

#6 Those who are trying to arrange another civil war will fail. Attempts at gun control have failed for the most part. The State does not grant all of our rights. The elites who foster such chaos, unrest, and destruction will not be immune.
