3/18/19: Remember how, in 2011, President Obama threatened civil war if he wasn’t re-elected? (See: 3/15/19.)
Okay, sure. He didn’t.
What about that time a Democratic congressman said we were headed for war between the states?
Well, yes, several Democratic lawmakers did say
that in 1861.
Still, if you know even a modicum of American history you wouldn’t talk glibly about “civil war” coming soon. At a time when the U.S. had a population of 30 million, the American Civil War (1861-1865) left 620,000 dead, making it the bloodiest fight in our nation’s history.
That would be equal, roughly, to a war costing 6.8 million deaths today.
And for what would we fight? To protect the
president’s tax returns from being exposed to investigators?
Rep. Steve King (R-IO) decided to pick up the president’s threatening theme – that he has all the “tough” guys on his team. King decided to post a meme, tagged with the line: “Folks keep talking about another civil war. One side has about 8 trillion bullets while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.”
The meme shows
blue states battling red states, like figures from that game, Rock’em Sock’em Robot,” gone mad.
Arizona forms the red figure’s head, Texas, the torso, Idaho the left knee. You get the idea. The blue figure’s left arm includes Wisconsin as fist, New Mexico as bicep, and Iowa where the forearm would be.
That’s how supremely clueless
Congressman King from Iowa
really is. He puts his own state on the wrong side. (See: 11/3/18 for more King ignorance and racism.)

CONGRESSMAN KING isn’t the only one worried about the future of this country. On Sean Hannity’s show, guest Glenn Beck, who has a show, too, warns, “If the Republicans don’t win in this next election, I think we are officially at the end of the country [emphasis added] as we know it. We may not survive even if we win, but we definitely don’t if the Republicans lose with Donald Trump.”
He goes on to tell Hannity, as both men try to scare their audience, that radicals, anarchists, socialists, and Islamists are all banding together to destroy America.
The
only surprise to this blogger is that neither man thought to include
transgender persons who want to destroy America by compromising our bathroom
privacy.
POSTSCRIPT: By the way, fools come in all varieties, from talk show hosts (above) to transgender individuals (below).
Last week, New York City police arrested Thomas Heard, who identifies as a transgender female and charged her with a pair of hate crimes. Heard, who is African American, is alleged to have confronted a white couple as they were shopping. She announced that she hated white people, then kicked the man and sprayed him with pepper spray, according to police.
Heard is said to have sprayed a woman in the eyes a day later, but not before asking if she was white.
She is a
suspect in a series of seven other attacks in the same neighborhood.
