Interesting.

Saul Alinsky reportedly corresponded regularly with a young Hillary Clinton...we dodged a bullet when she was defeated.

Speaking of Klinton...her crew (inner circle) alone could complete an entire deck of cards by themselves.

No big surprise there. Funny, (not really) how the left never admits to their past/heroes/ideological mentors, yet our side does proudly. Evil Communists. Reminds me of something my Uncle once said. Fallschirmjager MG42 gunner at Cassino, "we knew we couldn't hold them off forever, but we were going to make them pay."

One of the upsides to the mask coming off of the Statist/Commies here at home...is that decent, hardworking folks are going to continue questioning why they are always being demonized, and why they don’t have just as much right as anyone else to stick up for themselves.

Amen. Think the average working Joe has had a snootfull for a long time. Don't you think if TSHTF they aren't going to settle with those who made their lives miserable?

Without a doubt we have reached a point of no return...neither side is going to budge and we are at a point of put up or shut up. A point that clearly favours those who have been in the arena. Let the games begin...

SC Pete, I do. If the divide as described in the article cited in the original post continues - there will be a day of reckoning.

Honest, hardworking people can only be abused for so long before there will be calls for retribution.

Let's hope that Trump's economic policies thrive and everyone is working and keeping more of what they earn. A healthy economy and secure country filled with pride and optimism will sideline these Statist/commies for a while.

A Supreme Court that respects the Second Amendment will preserve the tools needed to keep the bad guys sidelined or at least thinking twice.

ETA: And, to incorporate Cobwebs observation - those tools (and the folks who have been in the arena using them) may be (as they always are) the things that continue to ensure our freedom.

Been all across the Country, and it breaks my heart that all the good folks in "flyover country" may have to get dirty. No hard working people deserves any of that. But it happens when good people ignore the obvious.

Ha ha Team Sgt... I have daughters, the younger ones (21 and 24) and their large circle of friends were all Trump supporters. The only person who was despised more than Hillary was Michelle. There is still hope among the Millennial. They are on the right side, not always knowing why.

Tonyz,
Like the way you and Tm Sgt think. was out wandering in the intellectual desert for a long time, thinking I was alone. Old 7th team mate turned me on to this site. Aaahh, like sliding into a hot tub after a 10th GP January FTX...

The more I see about Trump's foreign policy the more I like. I also see all the divisive work the liberals are using to undermine his presidency and I wish them well. They will fail and that's a good thing.

I hope everyday that his domestic policies will take root and grow in a positive way and everyone will get a chance to see the apparent failures of the last "do nothing" politics of the left. Actually, they didn't do nothing, they just didn't do anything for the Americans that pay the bills. The middle class has shrunk and poverty has grown under Democratic control and Trump has come out trying to reverse years of disparity between those who pay the bills and those who only take.

You can only spend OPM until there is no OPM. Democrats never figure that out until it's too late. Unfortunately, some Republicans in office don't know the difference.

News will say 24-million will be without 'health insurance' well, the number should probably be 150-million are without affordable health insurance and that would reflect a sustainable future.

As far as the next Civil War it will be between those who have something to lose and those who have nothing to lose. The winner is already known.

Lol, this site provided a similar experience for me years ago.

Seems like so many folks enjoy this platform in a universe of web sites that are poorly run and full of shit.

Enjoy the stay.

I can see already I will. But back to the subject at hand. Revos are always a tricky business, and never turn out how the people who start them want them to turn out. Look at history, with the exception of the American Revo, they usually eat their own. The left, when winners, know that the right are independent, hard to organize, not a great threat. The left, on the other hand, are agitators and organizers. Who do you get rid of first? Always. Controllers of the useful idiots on the streets are the first to go. Then get rid of opposing leftist leaders. Idiots on the streets make good workers on a Siberian Peat Moss cutting gulag. Kommie Kolledge Kids never get it until it's too late.
