USA -(Ammoland.com)- At no time in my life have I witnessed the country as being so divided. If one looks back in history, the divisions today between the left and right (coastal elites & middle Americans) are more severe and deeper than they were in early 1861.
There seems to be absolutely no way that either side will compromise and move to the center for the sake of our country. The only thing that I see happening is that both sides are digging in deeper and becoming more extreme.
As such, they must face, sooner or later, the consequences of their positions and the reality of what the future of the United States will be.
It was said by Mr. Lincoln that “A house divided against itself cannot endure”…. and that is exactly where the United States finds itself in 2017. It is no longer slave-states versus non-slave states, it is the politically hardcore left against the politically conservative right.
The hardcore left will not bend or compromise any of their beliefs and neither will the conservative right. And, sadly, only the folks in middle America see what is coming.
The coastal elites which make up the majority of the leftists in this country are wearing blinders and do not believe or will even consider that this country is on the brink of another civil war. I would imagine that a similar view was held by the citizens of Yugoslavia just before their civil war.
The left considers it to be acceptable behavior for their minions to call for the assassination of the President; they find it acceptable to depict him as being beheaded; they find it funny when one of their kind threatens to blow up the White House and they turn a blind eye when their followers compare the President to Nazis, the most vile butchers of all time.
The above remarks are NOT the behavior of patriotic Americans… they represent the behavior of (treasonous) agitators who would destroy the United States.
The future does not bode well for a country that is so deeply divided. None of the mainstream media will openly discuss the horrible prospects that await our country, they prefer to remain like ostriches with their heads in the sand (usually siding with the radical leftists); however, in their private moments, they know what the future holds. As such, I hold them equally responsible for the storm that is coming.
Unless things change and I doubt that they will: It is no longer a question of IF the United States will break apart, it is now only a question of WHEN.
