Daniel Greenfield points out that Obama’s third term is already here-
From the article-
“One is the elected President of the United States. The other is the Anti-President who commands a vast network that encompasses the organizers of OFA, the official infrastructure of the DNC and Obama Anonymous, a shadow government of loyalists embedded in key positions across the government.”

Like I said before – a rebel government complete with a rebel president. A House Divided. Once Again…
I’ll go along with that,with one caveat.In CW I both sides had an interest in dream that is America surviving,this traitor and his ilk wish more than anything to see it destroyed.
@Darin: I must disagree. As you know I’m a former high school history teacher and as such, I had to read the original sources on CW I. Take one old song for representative of rebel thinking, “I’m An Old Rebel” where the narrator – a former Confederate soldier in the Army of Northern Virginia – curses the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and Old Glory.
So like the rebels of CW I – the Leftists of today curses the USA and wants to see it destroyed. Take all the flag burning they do. The symbolism here is they are burning the old republic and everyone who support it.
The dream the rebels of old had was a slave nation that would drive south to LatinAmerica in stage one of world conquest, and make those nations a vast slave empire under the CSA ruled from Richmond, Virginia by the “new aristocrat” slave owners turned politicians, who were clearly superior in their minds to poor white serfs and black slaves.
The dream the Leftist rebels have today is also a slave world under one flag with themselves as the “Philosopher-Kings” ruling over all the “little people” of the world.
So you see, Darin, the endgame for the New Rebels is not that much different than the vision of the Old Rebels – slavery for the masses – kingship for them.
Although I don’t like your conclusion, I find it hard to ignore the level of risk that you are spot on. You didn’t even mention the love of globalism by the Left. World enslavement.
What I said was just a first draft – For instance, one of the reason the South detested the North prior to the CW I was the lack of support for a conquest of Latin America, which the Southern ruling class viewed as “Low hanging fruit” ready for the picking.
The easy victory in the Mexican-American War of 1846-48 greatly encouraged them, since they believed Mexico was the strongest Latin American country and it had been a “push over” for the American military – So a push to the very tip of South America should involve little in the way of American casualties or expense.
Of course, the rest of the country was not interested in wars of conquest to extend slavery and wanted it ended in the USA – and thus it never happened.
But let us suppose for the sake of an argument, the North had been unsuccessful in crushing the rebellion and had agreed to peace. A peace that may have lasted a hundred years or more. The South would have had to continue an expansionist policy aimed at grabbing more and more land for their empire.
So at some point the Southern ruling class would have become globalist, because only by world conquest could the safety of the CSA slave empire be protected.
I think conquest of Latin America would have been followed by other CSA adventures in the third world – Africa was definitely low hanging fruit in the 19th century and parts of Asia.
One of the interesting, “What ifs” in history. The CSA empire would have had lots of friends in Europe of the 19th century when white racism was at its height. The natural ally for the CSA would have been Britain, whose empire at its high water mark one-fifth of the world’s land mass.
The CSA slave empire married to the British industrialism and empire would have been awesome – perhaps even unstoppable – and some sort joint empire could have flowed over the entire world by the early 20th century.
Ron,it’s been a long day,and I am tired so I am going to keep this short.
History is still written by the victor.I have little respect for Lincoln outside of keeping the nation together.Beyond that he was an anti-constitutional tyrant and great grandfather of the current deep state.
The reason for the Civil War had nothing to do with ending slavery and the events leading up to the war designed to end slavery had the opposite effect.
The war,like most was started over money and power. Northern mill owners,who built their industry on the back of slave produced Cotton and Timber from the South,wanted to end the Plantation owners monopoly on price.They wanted cheaper raw materials and the Plantation owners stood in the way.
Once the war was over,look at what the Federalists installed to take it’s place.A system of financial slavery that enslaved newly freed Blacks and poor Whites alike.In the slave system it cost money to own and maintain slaves,in the new system all it took was scraps of paper in the form of worthless company script.
In terms of expansionism,the South wasn’t alone,just the North after the war was broke and drained for manpower.So they pushed west and in the South they already had a ready made slave labor force,one that conveniently spoke the same language.
The South by no means was blameless,but the North was no better and in many cases much worse.
We will have to agree to disagree about CWI – My people were Southerners from a border state who were Unionists – and my ancestors served in a Virginian regiment (9th Virginia)who wore blue and helped found the state of West Virginia. They saw the struggle as one against tyranny and viewed Tidewater Virginians as tyrants and “Rebs”. Interesting that in what promises to be CW II, we are on the same page.
Seems the hawaii judge has an axe to grind, no reason to be surprised that 0bozo went there or met with the judge, right??

The District Federal Judge in question has no authority under the U.S. Constitution to do what the did – In fact, this an impeachable offense and he should be removed from office, as his decision was totally POLITICAL and the law in question not even addressed.
President Trump should have shot the little Leftist scumbag “The Bird” and ban people from the seven terrorist countries.
However, he decided to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, which may or may not, back him up.
I say this was a BIG mistake, as the odds are these nine tyrants in black robes may want to increase their power even more.
It’s a Constitutional crisis coming down the road – and an excellent opportunity to put these legal scumbags in their place.
