Who is talking civil war?


All the democrat controlled media.


A media propaganda machine is critical to the democrats pushing an agenda with few backers. the media makes it seem like the whole country is for the democrat/socialist agenda.


CA wants to break from the union. So who is talking civil war.


BLM is moaning about civil war statues, depriving the country of symbols of healing after suffering through a rift where brother fought brother. Other countries hold grudges for centuries. the US healed.


Who promotes sanctuary cities, ignoring federal law?


BLM and antifa call for the murder of police, that's not the start of a war? both embraced by democrats and the CBC.


Who is mounting a full on attack on the US president using propaganda, lies, spurious comments and weaponized federal agencies.?


A mainstream media propaganda machine beats a repub full house because the media has no bounds while our government requires cooperation between parties to get anything accomplished.

Because they wanted what was not theirs...sort of like the way they wanted to buy and sell people which, according to our national creed, were not theirs. I don't see specific language in the Constitution saying that people can own other people - the opposite in fact.

Owning people was so important to them that they felt it was worth dying for...and even sending 100's of thousands who didn't own slaves to die "for the planter class". You'd think they'd realize they were used at some point, but lack of education, hookworm and other problems have always kept things somewhat slow to change down there.

Even today, SC can claim near tops in the nation in property crime and even violent crime. Congratulations.

Here are the most dangerous states in America for 2018:

New Mexico
Alaska
Louisiana
Arkansas
South Carolina
Tennessee
Alabama
Arizona
Oklahoma
Missouri

No doubt that parts of the South still need "reformation". Other parts are up-to-date due to the influence of others moving in from elsewhere (other states and even other countries)...

That's false......just because somebody has an "R" by their names doesn't make them right wing conservative. There are moderate/liberals in the GOP, especially in blue states.


Nobody is talking about a Civil War (yet ).....all we are saying if we impose the stupid gun controls and void the 2nd amendment like many in the left wants, we will have a civil war in the streets because there is NO WAY in hell the government will confiscate over 350 million firearms in 50 states from millions of law-abiding Americans in millions of homes peacefully.


we are just warning the silly liberals what is going to happen if they impose their stupid gun laws and have the balls to back it up with confiscation.

If liberals say we can't deport 11 million illegals who aren't supposed to be here, try confiscating over 350 million firearms from millions of law-abiding Americans in millions of homes in 50 states and tell me with a straight face that will be done peacefully and smoothly.

Jesus! take some REAL American history and stop demonizing the South like the North were so holier than thou (they weren't)


If you think Lincoln and the North sent WHITE BOYS and WHITE FATHERS and leave their wives and families and their jobs to the south to fight and die to free the black slaves in the South than our public education is cr@p.

Owning slaves was a constitutional right. Go ask Washington and Jefferson why they didn't prohibit in the constitution, maybe because they had slaves themselves and knew that the country was broke after the revolutionary war and the government needed the revenues from the slave economy to pay back the debt.

The same reason Lincoln waged war in the South because it was about taxes $$$$$ and control and the North needed the South's revenue and it had nothing to do about freeing black slaves.


Alaska the most dangerous state in the country? LMAO!!! Those bears are real gangsters......compare to what Chicago, Detroit, D.C, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Oakland, Bronx.....real scary Alaska.

Wouldn’t be much of a war. Most of the military leans right, most right wingers as you call them are armed with AR15’s and lefty’s have buckets of rocks.

I thought it had something to do with certain southern states seceding from the union.

My worst nightmare is running out of scotch and the liquor stores are closed.
