I just saw an advertisement for the movie "Civil War", claiming it is the #1 movie in the nation.
Haven’t seen it, but it got me to thinking about the real possibility of one.
It won't come from the right, but win or lose in November, the idiots on the left are cocksure and deluded enough to start one.
Winston Churchill said:
“Virtuous motives, trammeled by inertia and timidity, are no match for armed and resolute wickedness. A sincere love of peace is no excuse for muddling hundreds of millions of humble folk into total war. The cheers of the weak, well-meaning assemblies soon cease to count. Doom marches on.”
I thought we were in danger of going hot four years ago, but while insanity raged on the left, sanity reigned on the right. We were damaged, but decided it wasn’t time to breach the peace.
But now, nothing is off the table.
Literally and figuratively, nothing.
Biden’s idiotic regulatory capture of Title IX in favor of transgenderism is proof. It’s really horrifically misogynistic to allow men to access women’s spaces.
The Democrats are making it impossible not to take a side.
I've been trying to find a way to explain what I have been feeling since I first heard the term "culture war". For a very long time, I've felt that a mere spat over culture didn't really get at the root of the vitriol, hatred and now, the violence.
It isn't that we have been fighting a cultural civil war, we have been fighting a civil war of morality, one in which the radical left has created their own moral code that is separate and apart from our traditional moral code. This is what allows them to abandon logic and reason, to fabricate an alternate reality out of lies and to destroy without conscience or remorse.
Cultural divides can be healed, moral divides cannot. The only remedy for moral divides is when one civilization destroys the other...and that is where we are headed. When moral divides exist, no amount of money, property, status, apology or reparation will end them and anything goes in the prosecution of the war and the quest for victory.
General Patton once told the troops that you can’t win a war if you are not prepared to play by the rules of your enemy. If you are not willing to go as low as – and maybe even lower than – your enemy, to do at least as much harm to him as he is willing to do to you, you will lose.
Radical progressives are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how low, to win. When they adopted postmodern philosophy as a guiding principle, all constraints were removed. Principles, societal mores, religious beliefs and lack of the consent of the governed were no longer obstacles, they became minor annoyances.
It's not black and white as racial strife is understood, but it is black and white as we understand clarity. More in focus for me now than ever.
America has essentially split into two competing civilizations, each with their own rules and mores. The ties that have bound us together for two centuries are now loosed. This is not a Civil War, it is a Moral War. The Civil War was tagged as "brother against brother", this war is truly what Jefferson feared - the bellum omnium in omnia, the war of all against all.
These civilizations will not be content to compete over forms and methods of government - moral divides create a war over every single aspect of human existence, down to the DNA level (the assertion that whites are naturally racist is but one example). Nothing is off limits - and the war will be total, as the victory must be.
I have said this for a ling time - the war is coming to your door and there will be no innocent bystanders.
We have been fighting at low intensity for a while now, but as we near the presidential election in November, I fear we are entering the all or nothing phase of this Moral Civil War.
Sadly, a civil (arguably moral) war is EXACTLY what BHO and the progressives want. It would destroy the USA. They don't care about "winning" or even losing such a war, the victory to them is the death of the Republic. If we fall, so goes the world and darkness will overwhelm. Churchill was right doom does indeed march on. Pray Lord come quickly.
Yes, I technically see a path to restoring our civilization, Convention of the States, return to traditional morals, but I see no realistic possibility of this occurring. When a society promotes criminals over innocent civilians, death to innocent life, public corruption as public virtue, and tyranny as democracy, I fear these are the signs that we have passed the point of no return. There will be no utopia of man, from the left or right. The only enduring peace, and just civilization will come from above. We would be wise to prepare ourselves for that world....
