Civil War

This is in response to E.M. Cadwaladr's piece on the shape of another civil war.

1) "It would not look like the first American Civil War."

Agreed, for the most part. But almost all wars have their roots in the economy, as will this one. The Left want your money. They're Marxists, and like all Marxists, they want the cash. 

2) "The US is not as regionally aggregated as it was for the last civil war." 

Agreed, we are now a nation of islands. In the first civil war, the border areas where were the worst fighting raged, at least at the beginning. But this really won't matter, as the leftist islands have no weapons, and more importantly, they lack the will to actually fight. 

3) "A second American Civil War would be much more similar to the Spanish Civil War, with the leftists dominating the cities and conservatives controlling the countryside."
Yes, the leftists dominate the city, but they don't have the police, and they don't have the National Guard. We have the guns, literally. I've even had many leftists tell me that guns scare them. And with the exception of the five percent thug ratio, they absolutely will not fight. If history has shown us anything, it's that a Marxist organization will be taken over by the five percent thugs very quickly. But that's not enough to win a war, against a well trained and well armed military.

4) "The collapse of the world’s remaining superpower would take much of the world down with it. A global economic crisis would be inevitable."

The US will not collapse. It didn't collapse after the first civil war, it was in fact, significantly stronger and a bigger player on the world stage after the first civil war. With the quick capitulation of the Left, an American first strategy will put the US in a better bargaining position in world markets than its ever been.

5) "The withdrawal of American forces from bases across the world to fight at home would also create a power vacuum that others, even under economic strain, would be tempted to exploit."

America has been strategically pulling out from it's bases for the last twenty years. Obama had no clear strategy, and gutted the military. Some bad eggs have popped up from time to time, and China and Russia have been making aggressive moves. That would continue, up to the point where the war was over, after less than a year. Then look for the newly united country to reassert itself on the world stage as it did after the last civil war.


6) "Add to this the breakdown of our transportation system, dependent on oil and transecting one new front line after another. The internet would fail. It is a frail enough now. Financial systems would fail."

An armed conflict will cause shortages and outages, that's inevitable. But the lowering of taxes after the conflict, and the restructuring of government and corporate processes to a meritocracy versus the current leftist disaster will usher in an era of technology and business that will rejuvenate American culture.

As stated above, I agree with Calwadladr's view of the military, we have the military, and the police. The blue collar guys that keep the whole thing going have come over to our side after the unions failed them. And the left, will not fight. Hashtag resist is going to make the Marines laugh. We'll show you how Marines define resist. I'm sure you won't like it.

7) "...predicting a short war has usually proven to be a fool’s occupation."
Call me a fool here, but in some cases, like when one side won't fight, or is hopelessly out matched (First Gulf War) then you will get a short war. 

The question isn't how long it'll be, or how hard it will be. The real question is, what does the right do with the left after a civil war? The solution was given in a Star Trek TOS episode, The Trouble with Tribbles. The right will beam the whole kit and kaboodle over to the Klingons. Starting with the media, of course.
