When Will the First Shots Be Fired In the Second Civil War?

Is it only a matter of time before (more) shots are fired in anger – the shots that set a match to the American powder keg and set off the Second Civil War?

That may sound a little extreme, but I’m sure the same was said when the first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter. While thankfully we may not be at that point in this country today, we are coming awfully close to what many consider to be an impending civil war. We are watching as the so-called “resistance” movement protests shut down portions of major cities, physically attack women at Trump rallies, shoot up Republican Congressmen at baseball practice, and now they are taking things to an entirely new level by doxxing prominent conservatives and showing up at their houses, scaring the hell out of their families.

What we witnessed as the mob descended upon the residence of Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson is a microcosm of what has been taking place in this country since President Donald Trump was elected two years ago.

The “resistance” movement has its roots in the old school socialist-style terrorism of yesteryear that was carried out by groups like The Weather Underground.

The “resistance” and the Saul Alinsky playbook at work

There is one thing the radical leftists of yesterday and today have in common: taking pages directly from the Saul Alinsky playbook.

We conservatives are peaceful people

Thankfully, we understand the immense responsibility that comes with intense physical confrontation that could lead to results that no one wants. As a result, we put up with the protests that block traffic as we head home from work. We sit idly by as throngs of protesters vandalize major American cities. And we even laugh at times watching the snowflakes melt when Trump posts a tweet or when he nominates a Supreme Court Justice that may actually uphold the Constitution.

I truly pray it never comes to it, but without some sort of cooling down, eventually, there will come a breaking point. There will come a time when a masked Antifa protester is confronted by someone who they simply shouldn’t have messed with, and they will be on the receiving end of a force that could have serious consequences. Someone will push someone too far, and things will spiral out of control. That’s how most conflagrations get started.

We already saw a crazed Bernie Sanders supporter tried to massacre dozens of Republican Congressmen at a baseball game. How much worse will it get? Will those be remembered as the first shots?

As The Political Insider has pointed out, Breitbart has assiduously catalogued over 600 incidents of intimidation, harassment, violence, and shootings carried out by left-wingers against conservatives. The list is extensive.

Pray to God we don’t ever go over the edge.
