At no time in our lives have we witnessed the country so divided. If one looks back in history, the divisions today between the left and right (coastal socialist elites and patriotic 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 for the sake of our country. The only thing that we see happening is both sides are digging in deeper and becoming more extreme. Sooner or later, they must face the consequences of their positions and the reality of what the future of the United States will be.

It was said by Abe Lincoln that "A house divided against itself cannot endure" and that is exactly where the United States finds itself in 2019. It is no longer slave states versus free states, it is the politically hardcore left against traditional Americans. Tribal mentalities and identity politics are rampant across the country.

The hardcore left will not bend or compromise any of their beliefs, which are essentially a religion without facts or historical perspective, and neither will the conservative right. Sadly, only the folks in middle America see what is coming.

The coastal elites, who make up the majority of the leftists in this country, are wearing blinders and will even consider this country is on the brink of another civil war. I would imagine that a similar view was held by their counterparts in Yugoslavia just before their civil war.

To remind those who do not remember, in Europe Yugoslavia was considered the "Paris of the East." It was prosperous and even sponsored the winter Olympics at Sarajevo in 1984. Now, after the war, there are seven separate countries where one used to be and none are as prosperous as Yugoslavia once was.

The American 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 Adolf Hitler, one the vilest butchers of all time. What about the newly elected congresswoman who called the President a "mother F***er"? For the record, she is also a raging anti-Semite.

If that was not enough to convince you of the bad intentions of the liberal elite, their current socialist rising star wants to take up to 70% of your income in taxes. She and the other radicals in this country ignore the fact that socialism only works until you run out of other peoples' money. In other words, socialism always fails over time.

The above remarks are NOT the behavior of patriotic Americans. They represent the behavior of (treasonous) agitators who seek to destroy the United States. They would convert our country into a western hemispheric "Euro-style-nation," supporting UN-globalism and open borders.

The future does not bode well for our country, because we are so deeply divided. The mainstream media, which shamelessly panders to the left, will not acknowledge the horrible prospects that await our country. Neither will the educational system, which has long been dominated by leftists (progressives, liberals, Socialists, Marxists and Communists, whatever they choose to call themselves this week). However, in their private moments, they know what the future holds. We hold them equally responsible for the storm that is coming.

There is no question in our minds that civil war is coming. It will be a war that will tear apart the very fabric of this country and result in tens of thousands of deaths (probably more). It is no longer a question of if the United States will break apart in a civil war, it is only a question of when.

With the storm rapidly approaching, the leftists and socialists will redouble their attempts to disarm all law-abiding citizens and gut the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. It would be foolish for anyone to turn in their guns or magazines, because of the liberals "common sense" gun control initiatives.

Remember, in a liberal's mind, "common sense gun control" means all power concentrated in the state; no guns for you or me. Hang on to your firearms and ignore the unconstitutional anti-gun laws, because you are going to need them in the near future. In fact, it is probably a good idea to pick up some extra ammunition. (You can never have too much!)
