| Dangerous Talk From Stupid People |

| Kurt [Townhall] Understand that when someone tells you he wants you dead, he wants you dead. And that’s a very dangerous thing to want, because the intended victim gets a say, and he may start saying the same thing about you. I could talk about walking through the wrecked villages of Kosovo — villages that had mostly belonged to the Serbs who started the civil war then lost it — but that is probably going to be lost on the pampered and parochial left. History, be it modern Balkans or ancient, such as the cautionary tale that was the decline and fall of the Roman Republic, is something they are too smart to bother studying. They know what they think and what they want and they can’t be bothered with pests nagging them about how their paucity of wisdom could very well set into motion events they cannot control and that are unlikely to turn out in the way they hope. |

| #7 Imagine the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army with the full backing of the state. That's what we have now. And that’s a very dangerous thing to want, because the intended victim gets a say, and he may start saying the same thing about you. First, we'll need to defenestrate the that-is-not-we-are types. A basic rule of statecraft and war is to deal with the traitors in your own ranks first. It can never be done perfectly or completely, but no serious effort can proceed without effective action in that area. |

| #6 I suspect before mid-November, we'll be in a shooting war with these people. |

| #5 What's new is 100 days, and counting, of organized, concerted, relentless insurrection across the nation in the form of 1,000s of targeted hits on police, federal buildings, elected GOP officials and ordinary citizens. The only precedent is the 1,500 bombings of public buildings in 1971 by the Weather Underground and the various precursors of BLM (BLA, Black Panthers etc). These violent radical groups did kill people - dozens of murders or attempted murders of policemen, security guards, judges and military officers - between 1970 and 1982, but during that time we actually had a functioning FBI that took seriously their oath to defend the Constitution from enemies domestic and foreign. So, yeah, this is new, and deeply disturbing |
