This editorial by self described Paleoconservative Pat Buchanan discusses the question "Are we nearing a Civil War?" I would change the question to "Is President Trump at war with the deeply entrenched melange of Washington elites consisting of self interested Media, NGO's, Corporations, and Bureaucrats? FYI: My answer is a resounding yes.
Are We Nearing Civil War?

The Cold War continued for several decades until we decided to fight it. Then and only then, the other side collapsed. The Soviet Union never doubted for a moment that we were at war and fought tooth and nail to win it. The parallel between this and the war between Left and Right in America seems clear to me. America as the Right understands it has been under assault ever since Woodrow Wilson set pen to paper and mapped the fundamental tenants of American Leftism: That only a select few, the intelligentsia, are fit to make the important decisions and that they should be presented by a strong Executive. The logical conclusion of this movement is Globalism. After all, if only a select few are fit to rule America, only a select few are fit to rule the world. Well, President Trump may well be the last choice that We the unwashed masses, the People, may get to choose and the Left is attacking him unmercifully. It's time to join the side we're on and take up the fight. We can do it with simple push back now or with guns and blood later. Our choice...

Read it before Capt Jack... but if the average Johnny Reb was interviewed he fought for states rights or to protect his home & family...
Lets not rehash those arguments... suffice to say that The modern grunt fights for home & family... and his brothers.

Sgt Wayne Wood - No argument there. After reading just about everything I could find about the Civil War, I began reading diaries and collections of letters, and not one Rebel mentioned slavery. Nor did they mention States Rights. They fought for their homes which in their minds were their states. Sadly, their state leadership started the war and prosecuted it to maintain slavery. Thus, all who fight for their nation state must be cautious to look beyond the propaganda that the leadership uses to start and maintain the war in which we are asked to fight. Otherwise, we are mere dupes.

I remember reading a possibly apocryphal account of a Yankee reporter interviewing a rebel POW.
When the prisoner was asked why he fought, the reporter was puzzled as to why anyone would fight for "rats"... eventually he figured it out... "states rats" :-)

Sgt Wayne Wood - When I arrived at the Army Reception Center at Ft Jackson, I shared a tent with 4 fellas from West Virginia and one from Massachusetts. The Yankee sat on his bunk listening in wide-eyed wonder to the four country boys. Eventually he turned to me and asked if I understood anything they were saying. I spent the next three days until we shipped out for BCT, interpreting for them. It's not just a matter of accent (I know the difference between "All" and "Oil") but also idiom

I think we already have a civil war on our hands. The full-scale bloodshed just hasn't started yet.

As I said in my introduction to the editorial "President Trump is at war with a deeply entrenched group of Washington elites consisting of self interested Media, NGO's, Corporations, and Bureaucrats." To elaborate, it is less of a war than "rat" hunt. The deeply entrenched "rats" are actively working against the best interests of the President and of our nation. The President and his administration are working to rout them out and fire them. I don't expect an actual fighting war unless one side attempts to kill or overthrow the sitting President of the United States. In which case it would be all of our duties to support the duly elected president.

MSgt James Mullis - That's laughable, blame the media for exposing (t)rumps corruption and the corruption and lies of his minions. This fools STILL thinks this is a reality game show. And at the going rate, he's doing a fine job of setting himself up for failure. Let me tell you where I stand in respect to your remark, "it would be all of our duties to support the duly elected president."
I would cut my own throat before I would shout a warning to this fool that a truck was about to run him over.
Or maybe you think I should support my local KKK? No thanks....
