Peterike,

I read about the same comment made by Obonga. He really thinks he can mobilize most of the nation’s youth to be a counterbalance to the military and to veterans like us? Honestly, I don’t want things to get to an internal civil war of Americans against each other again. But, if the Left wants to take measures to form some sort of Brownshirt Brigades, and we do have an internal rebellion, the Left will go down HARD. My experience of Leftists is that they have abysmal military instincts and skills. In this country it’s just not a part of their psychological makeup. Germany and Russia had deeply embedded military cultures and traditions that were generally statist in their inclinations, so co-opting the German officers or Russian officers was not that hard a sell. So, in those two countries it was a different outcome. But in the United States the military, its veterans, and its supporters are strongly anti-Left. Most civilian groups who practice with weapons are Center-Right. In a shooting war, the Left would not have a prayer. Most of the military would come over to our side, and probably most of law enforcement too. If there’s a Constitutional and dire national crisis, we can do the right thing and bring the Leftist elites and leaders right up the steps of the gallows.

But if at all possible we don’t want to get to that point. Some way has to be found to attack the credibility of the alliance of Marxists, soft Left, and the Muslims. Right now, you are right. People are not connecting the dots because they have some serious emotional problems and intellectual dishonesty. Michael Savage really is right: Liberalism is a mental disorder.
