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 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 who aren't in the club with him.
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 did.
Have no
doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a
leftist Democrat professional government.

Please provide a verifiable source for this article from Jack Minzey on the Civil War. Without it I deem this as a fraudulent post merely to stir up misguided emotions. Thank you.
I can't find any credible source attributing this to Jack Minzey or any credible reference as to who Jack Minzey even was/is or that he would have even written this.
