If America Goes Socialist Is Civil War Inevitable?

Via Billy


“In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a war that would presage the slaughter of World War 1’s Western Front and the global carnage of the twentieth century.” —Drew Gilpin Faust, Contemporary historian

The warning from Mr. Faust should tell us that embarking on a civil war, no matter how wide is the gap between us, should be avoided at all costs.  Those that are calling or yearning for a civil war and oiling up their guns have conveniently forgotten our bloody and savage history.  But what is the answer when are differences slowly but surely evolve into animus and rising violence, as they are now?
Democrats are vehemently opposed to anything conservative and are employing all the dirty tricks they can invent to stop a conservative movement under Trump.  Some Democrats are calling for open violence against conservatives, or impeachment of President Trump even though the President has done nothing that would warrant impeachment.

Republicans take opposition with anything that falls under the Progressive banner.

  1. Not likely. America has been turning socialist since the 30's. Or did you think the labor movement was really about safe working conditions in coal mines? Add to that progressive income taxes, social security. Did anyone even notice that we elected a communist as president... TWICE?

      & they would have probably done this thrice. :(

  2. And all that happened without a single person pushing the starter button on civil war.
