Why there won't be a civil war: Romney

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?

"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. 

 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.
