Mark Alexander’s Patriot Post column Wednesday
(8/15/18) has a title that demands to be read - From Uncivil Discourse to
Civil War?
Alexander’s zeros in more on the uncivil discourse than the
potential outcome of socio-political incivility. The growing separating
supporters of the American Left and American Conservatives will end in Civil
War if a consensus mending does not occur.
The theme The Patriot Post is the growing violence
occurring in the name of Socialism. The Dems embracing this Socialism have
attempted to anesthetize the term by calling the ideology Democratic Socialism.
The reality though about Democratic Socialism is it is the politics of
Communism.
Mark Alexander summed up Communism by this excerpted
description:
Russia’s “Red October” Revolution
was inspired by the Communist Manifesto, published by Karl Marx in
1848. Marx wrote, “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the
single sentence: Abolition of private property. … Take away the heritage of a
people and they are easily destroyed.” (Bold text by Blog Editor)
…
As history would have it, Russian
revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin sided with Marx: “The goal of socialism,”
he said, “is communism.” But instead of a utopian socialist “workers’
paradise,” a succession of brutal communist tyrants unleashed seven decades of
global terror — at an incalculable human toll.
…
In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita
Khrushchev told Eisenhower’s Cabinet Secretary Ezra Taft Benson: “Your
children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible.
No, you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses
of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have
Communism. We won’t have to fight you; We’ll so weaken your economy, until you
fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”
…
Fact is, National Socialism and
Democratic Socialism are much the same as Marxist Socialism — behind the
façades. (Bold text by Blog Editor)
Contemporary leftists would like
you to believe that there’s a clear distinction, but Adolf Hitler was certainly
a socialist. In his autobiography Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote of his
Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German
Workers’ Party, the “NAZI Party”), “The party should not become a constable of
public opinion, but must dominate it. It must not become a servant of the
masses, but their master.” On the socialist state versus individual Liberty, he
wrote, “The unity of a nation’s spirit and will are worth far more than the
freedom of the spirit and will of an individual; and that the higher interests
involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the
duties of the interests of the individual.”

Terror; By Mark Alexander; The Patriot Post;

Socialism, Democratic Socialism & Communism represent
everything America IS NOT! Conservative know this. The younger
generation of mostly Millennials have been brainwashed by years of alternative
history AND a lack of true history, especially in the failure to teach American
history.
ERGO, a chasm widens Americans which will erupt into Civil
War – AGAIN.

From Uncivil Discourse to Civil War?
Historic socialist assaults on Liberty were not as
organized and targeted, nor did they have the tacit approval of a major
political party.
Aug. 15, 2018
“Nothing is more certain than that
a general profligacy and corruption of manners make a people ripe for
destruction. A good form of government may hold the rotten materials together
for some time, but beyond a certain pitch, even the best constitution will be
ineffectual, and slavery must ensue.” —John Witherspoon (1776)
The Democrat Party’s fastest
growing identity-politics constituency has, for the last decade, been
coalescing around a theme that is both animating and destructive: Hate. The
current chorus of contemptible rhetoric comes from leftist
Demo antagonists, their Leftmedia propagandists whose
ad revenues depend on conflict and dissent, and the hate-profiteering
groups now forming “thought patrols.”
Make no mistake: This new constituency is growing more
desperate and disenfranchised by the day, and the inherent risks of such
hate-filled rhetoric pose an ominous threat
to civility and to the future of American
Liberty.
Since 1960, Democrats have built their party along lines of
division, and now, they rely almost completely on the politics of disunity to sustain
their constituencies and maintain their power. Their political playbook has
only one chapter: “Divide and Conquer.” The two major lines of this
Demo-division are economic class disparity,
created in large measure by their own failed
economic policies, and the socio-cultural
victimization cards of race, ethnicity, religion, and
gender.
But as their political
identity constituencies began to soften, they have resorted
to a new identity attribute to unify all the others: Hate.
Over the last decade, fomenting hate has become the
centerpiece of Democrat strategy. But as the party has become more radicalized
and its rhetoric
more unhinged, the center-left is being
eviscerated. The net result is that fewer Democrats are proud to
be Americans and, as an astounding new Gallup poll
notes, Democrats
now prefer socialism to capitalism.
Barack Obama,
who was himself a disciple
of hate, spawned in 2011 a movement of “useful
idiots” under the “Occupy Wall Street”
banner. That movement was joined by the so-called “Black Lives Matter”
constituency in 2014 and the emerging “antifa movement”
of self-proclaimed anti-fascist fascists in 2016.
Notwithstanding the fact that Obama’s BLM-fueled hatred inspired
the murder of police officers in
New York and in
Dallas, antifa is now emerging as the most broadly violent of
leftist groups. Its riotous confrontations in
August 2017, targeting the normally quiet town of Charlottesville, Virginia,
ostensibly in support of the removal of historic
monuments, prompted liberal Harvard law professor Alan
Dershowitz to make this clear to his Democrat colleagues: “Antifa is a radical,
anti-America, anti-free market, communist, socialist, hard-left sensorial
organization.”
These groups have two common denominators. They embrace and
spread hate and they subscribe to the delusion
of democratic socialism. They are well organized by statist
handlers, including Direct Action Network and Democratic Socialists of America
— a.k.a., fascists. They are well financed by their billionaire backers,
the archenemies
of Liberty — George Soros, Tom Steyer, Jeff Bezos, and
Michael Bloomberg.
In 2016, socialist/fascists consolidated around the
candidacy of Bernie Sanders,
whose non-Democratic presidential primary bid was surreptitiously stolen by
Obama’s heir-apparent, Hillary Clinton.
But in reality, Clinton’s Democrats and Sanders’s socialists constitute a distinction
without much difference. Indeed, the Democrat Party’s
protagonists, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and of
course Sanders, have become a unified chorus of populist socialism
deniers and hate provocateurs.
The stunning defeat of Clinton in 2016 by Donald Trump,
who has mastered the art of antagonizing
his opponents, greatly amplified the leftist tenor of hatred.
The most strident of the Demo hate-spewers have decompensated into an illness
alternatively called “Trump
Derangement Syndrome” or the more formal “Trump
Anxiety Disorder.”
But the escalating violence and the unprovoked attacks on
Republicans and Trump supporters is no laughing matter.
The most notable of those attacks was in June 2017, when one
of Bernie Sanders’s conscripts, an Obama “99%"er from Illinois, attempted
the mass
murder of congressional Republicans on a Virginia baseball
field. This deranged Democrat severely wounded House Majority Whip Steve
Scalise and injured four others before being killed by Scalise’s security
detail. Notably, if Scalise and his security team hadn’t attended this early
morning practice, the other 11 members of Congress would have been utterly
defenseless.
But the list
of other assaults is long and growing more violent.
In the last two weeks, the Demos’ hate-filled constituencies
have rioted
in three cities: Providence, Rhode Island; Portland, Oregon; and
Berkeley, California. I would include Washington, DC, on that list, but the
police presence there last weekend largely contained
the haters before they became violent, much to the
Leftmedia’s dismay.
It’s no small irony that leftist protesters are confusing
conservatives with Nazis. Ironic, I note, because the hatred
being driven by leftist Demo rhetoric is taking on shades of the 1934
"Night of the Long Knives” purges of the National Socialist German Workers
Party, as there is a now-discernible trend of Democrat moderates being pushed
aside for hyper-leftist candidates. The most notable case in point would be the
defeat of 10-term Demo incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley in New York’s 14th
congressional district by 28-year-old socialist Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez.
If the brown
shirt fits…
As Rep. Steve King (R-IA), never one to shy away from
hard-hitting and controversial remarks, observed recently, “America is heading
in the direction of another Harpers Ferry. After that comes Fort Sumter.”
We aren’t there yet.
Our nation’s Constitution and the Liberty it enshrines have
been through cycles of assault by socialists, fascists, and anarchist groups
for the last hundred years. But what differentiates the current cycle from
those of the past is that past movements were never as organized and targeted,
nor did they have the tacit approval of a major political party.
The escalating Demo-inspired violence certainly puts our
nation on a collision course with disunity on a national scale — if it does not
subside.

Libertate — 1776
