Civil War...

How do civil wars happen?

Two or more sides disagree on who runs

the country. And they can't settle the question through

elections because they don't even agree that elections are

how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue

here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each

other but accept the election results, you have a country.

When you stop accepting election results, you have a

countdown to a civil war.

The Mueller investigation is about

removing President Trump from office and overturning the

results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the

first time they've done this. The first time a Republican

president was elected this century, they said he didn't

really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election.

There's a pattern here.

What do sure odds of the Democrats

rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It

means they don't accept the results of any election that

they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers

of power in this country are determined by elections.

That's a civil war.

There's no shooting. At least not

unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans

at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have

rejected our system of government.

This isn't dissent. It's not

disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think

they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country.

But then you work harder to win the next election. When you

consistently reject the results of elections that you don't

win, what you want is a dictatorship.

Your very own dictatorship.

The only legitimate exercise of power

in this country, according to Democrats, is its own.

Whenever Republicans exercise power, it's inherently

illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the

White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run

the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every

time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the

President of the United States can't scratch his own back

without his say so, that's the civil war.

Our system of government is based on

the constitution, but that's not the system that runs this

country. The Democrat's system is that any part of

government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over

the country.

If the Democrats are in the White

House, then the president can do anything. And I mean

anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He

can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is

unlimited. He's a dictator.

But when Republicans get into the White

House, suddenly the President can't do anything. He isn't

even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his

predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White

House has 'discretion' to completely decide every aspect of

immigration policy. A Republican doesn't even have the

'discretion' to reverse him. That's how the game is played

That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the

left hasn't yet won that particular fight.

When a Democrat is in the White House,

states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law. But

when a Republican is in the White House, states can create

their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn't

allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But

under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that

California is an independent republic and sign treaties with

other countries.

The Constitution has something to say about that.

Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power

around to run the country. If it controls an institution,

then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the

land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.

Donald Trump has caused the Shadow

Government to come out of hiding:Professional government is

a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can't serve in it if you're

not a member. If you haven't been indoctrinated into its

arcane rituals. If you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't

in the club. He brought in a bunch of people with him

who also are NOT in the club.

Now we're seeing what the pros do when

amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they

investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the

tools of power to bring them down.

That's not a free country.

It's not a free country when FBI agents

who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against

Trump winning the election. It's not a free country when

Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the

opposition. It's not a free country when the media responds

to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative

media that supported him from social media. It's not a free

country when all of the above collude together to overturn

an election because the guy who wasn't supposed to win... WON.  

Have no doubt. We are in a civil war.

 This war is between conservative volunteer government

      and a leftist Democrat professional government.
