That's probably why they cozy up to ex-cons, gangs, and young illegal immigrants. They are not trained, but they can cause mayhem: Cloward–Piven.

Whenever the talk turns to the progressive socialists taking up arms against the normals, it reminds of this Schlichter piece about Hillary's Hipster Army.
Hillary’s Hipster Army Prepares For The Second Civil War
Even without Felonia Von Pantsuit as POTUS, it seems relevant.

LOL...Nope, do you really believe that there are "real men" on the liberal progressive socialist side? Hell, they rather wear skinny jeans, drive a "P" Prius, drink soy-milk lattes, and have a closet full of vagina hats, .....just saying

For Instance The Battalion of Marines stationed at Kings Bay GA. The 82nd Airborne Div, Brigade Combat Teams, The SFOD-D ???? Who will lead & Who will follow ? tom kelly

Better to follow them and keep them up front where we can keep a eye on them. I don't want them behind me with a loaded weapon they are always the guys or gals that have something come up when its range time. When they do show up they are always forced to buy beer for everyone after the shooting is done.

Rambles...

I am revisiting this thread as the violence continues to escalate, a (R) in FL has his office shot up, political discourse continues to decline, and the more that this pattern continues, I come back to the original comment made to me after the election: the possibility of civil war.

Now the person that made this comment to me, heads one of the most influential political science departments on the planet, and according to him, he is both a globalist and a state-ist. When asked his opinion on May's comment, that the state was the enduring institution, and if he agreed, he replied with caveat's. When directly asked if national identity matter, exampling "I am a European", rather than I am a Liechtensteiner. They fell silent.

That said, imoo, the only logical conclusion, absent all other considerations, leads me to believe, that both locally - institutionally, and within the us.gov, and internationally, there exist a force determine to undermine the Ideals enshrined in the the US Constitution.

Further, I believe that socio-political elite, are determine to overthrow the constitutional order, by whatever means necessary, and through which, they will exercise control and institute a new social order.

With that in mind, this election is pivotal, as important as the 1972 election, which launched and ensconced the careers of Kerry and the Clintonist for the past 40+yrs.

All of that said, imoo, I do not believe that we will escape the carnage of open social implosion, as this election will further erode the left's influence, forcing them to react violently as an opposition, control by outside forces, with a world view, absent of individual rights.

Bring it! I’m getting tired of the pussyfooting and tiptoeing around the issues.

Let Americans choose to be a Free Constitutional Republic or fall in line with Socialist Europeons (sic). We fought and won our freedom from oppression before and we have fought each other to free enslaved men and retain the union as one. Neither before or next will the end justify the means but there is no peace without war and war settles the debate. The winner gets to control the aftermath.

Imhoo, just like the foreign policy lesson learned after h-bomb, the power to destroy (win the war) is not the power to control.
Great compromise is the road to go as unappealing as it is.
Yes, I am still brainstorming how to win over my leftist associates

I think politicians that tell people "you cannot be civil" when dealing with your political opposition instigate dangerous behavior. Politicians that tell people to "draw a crowd" instigate dangerous behavior.

I would sincerely invite some examples of when leadership on "the right" has advocated violence or open and abject resistance. I am sure it's out there - but I don't "see" it through my own biased opinions.

Obama saying "I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors, I want you to talk to them whether they are independents, or republicans, and I want you to argue with them and get in their face"
or when talking abou tdoing things "the Chicago way" he made the comments, They’re going to try to scare people. "They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy.’ If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl."
Or even just being 'peacefully derisive' to people that 'cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them'
...antagonistic at best - so much so that even hitlery called him an elitist

speaking of hitlery - the queen be of "You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for"
...well, of course we ALL know that only democrats are allowed to live by that mantra. Republicans that refuse to be civil are just plain evil.
Probably because we are preoccupied with our guns and religion I guess

Cries by republican leadership (to me) are almost always "reactionary" as opposed to democrats being much more overt and offensive when they tell people to drum up crowds, get in faces, and resist resist resist


Civility?
Ha - democrats are wolves and vultures dressed in Armani and Prada
Republicans are no different - they just sell a different flavor of kool-aid
