I have seen numerous articles about the next American Civil War. Some say we are already involved. Others say it is coming. I would submit that we have been involved in that war since the first colony was established. In the non-English colonies it was over before it started. In the English Thirteen it was fought vigorously and is still going on.
It is a war between those who think they deserve to rule and those who don’t want to be ruled. I think of it as the struggle between the plow and the crown. You can trace it back as far as Western Civilization has been in existence. America came into existence because there were enough of what would be considered the upper class who believed in the principle that Jefferson put in the Declaration of Independence about “all men were created equal.” They were willing to reject the European model and create an new experiment in government. They won that battle but the war will never be over. Oppressors need to oppress. It is who they are and they cannot change.
Thomas Sowell likes to call them “The Anointed”. Whether they believe in God or not they believe that something has endowed them with the responsibility to direct the masses. They know what is best for us but in order to win they must Balkanize and impoverish us. We see it happening with the race baiting, the attempt to make the successful into the enemy, the need to break down our borders and flood the country with people who have not desire to become Americans. All of this has a clear goal: To keep the ruling elite in power.
To be concluded...
