16. "tell me why a war is not called for at that point" --> May I ask what exactly you mean by this?

Tue May 6, 2014, 08:22 PM

May 2014

Are you referring to armed insurrection? "War" implies bullets and killings on a mass scale, after all.

If so, how do you imagine it will ignite?

May I point out that armed insurrections in the US have always come from the Right? There's one going on right now in Nevada, and whatever happens it's not going to end well for them.
