Five % of Americans fought in the original Revolution while the remaining Ninety

Five % of Americans fought in the original Revolution while the remaining Ninety Five % were pro Tory until it was safe to be otherwise. The largest Army that George Washington ever lead was 13,000 men and that was against citizens of the United States.

We’re already in a civil war…it’s just that the lead hasn’t started to fly yet.

There has been a slow-motion, incipient civil war going on since the sixties. The political left has pretty much taken over the education sector, the entertainment sector, the media and the judiciary. They have entrenched themselves in a “deep state”. This can only end in one of two ways: A nasty divorce or a shooting war and I don’t see a shooting war as very likely.

I think the country is heading for some type of breakup. To be honest, I’m not sure that is such a bad idea. Traditional America supports the Constitution as it is written, it supports the rule of law and the actual punishment of those who break the law, and it supports the protection of our borders. Leftist America opposes all of the above. How do you reconcile those two positions?

What’s the over/under on how many years (months?) it would take for leftist America to look like a third world nation? Just make sure to get it into the secession treaty: We are still allies but both side are on their own.

The Civil War is currently a Cold War. Both sides know it. The question is whether this cold war will turn hot or if the Deep State will collapse first.

At some time in the next year or two, we will drop into recession again. We are due. Our slow growth rate is making the run up before the next recession last longer. But, our economy is more constrained than ever by taxes, regulation, world competition and civil dysfunction, and growing mostly due to the use of more and more debt. Debt creates bubbles that leak and deflate. When the recession hits, deficits will rise above a trillion a year again. At some point, too much borrow and spend will result in rapid inflation and middle class savings and incomes shrinking in purchasing power. It is going to get ugly.
