There are some on the left who want to pack the court once they get back into power.
Okay, you people. This is the thing that brings out the warriors in you, that is, if you are out there.
For, if the leftists get their way, and pack the court with leftists, then the US Constitution is dead. It may seem as if it is dead already, but once these guys finish with it, then it will really be dead.
By that time, you will have to ask yourself a question. Do you want to accept this coup as the law of the land, or will you fight?
But by that time, it will be too late. They will have the reigns of power.
Here is a suggestion ( amongst many ). A constitutional convention. Yes, if you limit what the courts may do, you may stop this event from happening.
Who knows? The left might go for this if it means that they can keep their mickey mouse lefty fiefdoms intact. ( like Wash. DC )

Bernard Goldberg: How the unhinged left helps Trump
Goldberg is no big fan of Trump, if memory serves.
In my opinion, the left knows that they are wrong. If Trump was Hitler, they would be against gun control. Trust me on that one. No way they disarm if a Hitler was on the loose.
The so-called right has been guilty of moral cowardice for far too long. The left thinks that another guilt trip will work. Maybe not this time. The guilt tripping has hit a dead end. ( I hope. )

Back to this dreary business...
A somewhat serious discussion about a potential Civil War.
One thing I always note is a lack of organization. It's all individualistic. I don't care how badass these characters are, they will be deterred by a serious organization that can and will act.
That is what I believe. Therefore, they will be no war. Nobody on the so-called right wants to organize. They are letting themselves be set up for this, but what this is is not a civil war, but a coup.
If you think that is pedantic, then so be it. A war needs two parties, and so far, I see only one. A coup only needs to topple the existing order. If you care about that, you'd better get busy.

Houston: Dean Martin
Did'ja know that this was a hit in the sixties? It's a stroll down memory lane today. Leave the politics behind for awhile.
Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walking case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I haven't eaten in about a week
I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak
Nobody calls me friend
It's sad the shape I'm in
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got a girl waiting there for me
Well at least she said she'd be
I got a home and a big warm bed
And a feather pillow for my head
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody put me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

Sugar bear
"Can't get enough of that sugar crisp."
Who sang that tune? Dean Martin? Has kind of a Dino ring to it.

Why there won't be a civil war: Romney
Originally posted 6.25.18,
Updated 6.27.18:
7:00 am:
Here is the voice of the GOP speaking loud and clear. It is a sign of weakness. Instead of a "minister of death praying for war", we get the type that is being killed mercilessly in the street ( Theo van Gogh), and implores the aggressor "can we talk"?
The author of the piece on Weekly Standard compares conservatives to the Indians on the North American continent. It may seem that way in truth. But this is a country that is armed to the teeth. Yet, it seems to offer no real deterrence to those who wish to take over without firing a shot. Why?
We really are like the Indians. The Indians had no organization. They were defeated piecemeal. The conservatives are just like that. They will not band together and defeat this menace. Instead, what you get is a pleading for restraint, for somebody might get killed--- just as the linked article suggests. Well, despite all of the restraint, it is already happening anyway. Restraint is not working.
If there is going to be a war, why not win it?
6:00 am:
Romney wins primary. Presumably, he will win the general. Now, the question for all these people predicting Civil War 2.0---- if you cannot organize to defeat the likes of Romney, how the hell can you expect to organize for a war?
This should be a wake up call. But everything else should be a wake up call. You war people have had enough wake up calls.
Maybe when they come knocking down your door, you will wake up. By then, it will be too late.
Original post follows below:
Romney is "making a pitch" for the votes of Utah, but he has a strange way of going about it.
What is strange here is that he is accepting all the negatives that Democrats like to use against conservatives and Republicans. Basically, Romney is saying "we're the bad guys, vote for us!" Romney sounds like he is running for the Democrat nomination.
What kind of fool he must think we are that we would listen to this?
If Romney wants to be a Democrat, then fine. Let him join them. But if he is going to act like this, then why does he run for office as a Republican?
Which allows me to segue into why there won't be a civil war. You have to have opposing sides to have a civil war. Romney is like Benedict Arnold leading the Americans against the King of England. Benedict Arnold would have surrendered if he had such authority.
There has to be a will to fight for there to be a war. There is not a sufficient will to fight if you are going to be so agreeable to your adversary.
Update:
Romney is said to have a really big lead over his opponent in the Utah GOP primary. What civil war? With so many GOP'ers committed to surrender politics, how can there be a war?
Update:
Just judging by the response on other webpages, I still say that this is keyboard warrior stuff.
Update:
What I am getting at is that the people who write this stuff are doing for the page clicks.

"I have and will continue to speak out when the president says or does something which is divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions," Romney wrote.
