A few days ago, Jack Minzey, sent what was to be the final chapter in the long line of books and treatises which he had written. Jack died on Sunday, 8 April 2018.
Professionally, Jack was head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein. His interest in Conservative Politics was exceeded only by his intellectual ability. This is the last of his works.
Civil War
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
That’s a civil war.
There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what you want is a dictatorship. Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that’s not the system that runs this country. The Democrat’s system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He’s a dictator
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can’t do anything. He isn’t even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has ‘discretion’ to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn’t even have the ‘discretion’ to reverse him. That’s how the game is played That’s how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn’t yet won that particular fight.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren’t even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether it’s Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can’t serve in if you’re not a member. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren’t in the club. And Trump isn’t in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren’t in the club with him.
Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That’s not a free country
It’s not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an ‘insurance policy’ against Trump winning the election. It’s not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It’s not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It’s not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn’t supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.

The instant situation is to say the least damn interesting, and it has been long in coming.
Nixon may well have screwed the pooch first when he allowed the Court to dictate to the White House and bowed to the Court as the most powerful of 3 equally empowered branches. When the Court had tried it before, during the FDR Presidency FDR told them to feel free to have the Court Police enforce their Decision, and equality was maintained.
We saw another assertion of Court power when the Congress of crooks gave Clinton the Line Item Veto. Clinton used it and the Court quickly asserted itself more powerful than both Congress and the President. Neither branch had the guts to tell the Court that began in the basement of the Senate equals only become superior in power when 2 agree the third is wrong.
We’ll see something very interesting in this coming confirmation before the Senate. This Nominee to the Bench of Robed Wizards has strongly written that the Court had no Authority to order Nixon in the Watergate Case, and Nixon had no duty to follow that order. I’ve held that position since Nixon caved.
In the years since Nixon Team D has done a fine job of packing the Title 3 Bench with their Judges who would rule their desired way, to get their desire via the Courts when they couldn’t do it in Congress or by Presidential Order. We’ve now reached the point where bottom level Title 3 Judges poke their thumb in the President’s eye, and largely get away with it. That is and was not the intent of the Constitution, and it shouldn’t be happening.
We are also at the interesting point in time where the President is not a member of the club. He’s not a professional politician, and can’t even apply to join the club because he didn’t attend the right schools. He won’t go along to get along, and horror of horrors, he actually delivers what he said he would in his campaign. The club will and does meet behind the CSPAN cameras to decide how they will deal with him.
The chosen lawyers check their list of Judges to shop and bring asinine Cases in jurisdictions like Hawaii regarding Muslim “immigrants” while so called Churches clean up as Government Contractors importing immigrants who will never be productive citizens to be dumped onto local taxpayers for eternal support. Thanks Ted Drowner Kennedy for that little gift.
Make no mistake, the Senate sees itself as the House of Lords, destined from birth to occupy their seat and pass it to their issue. Dirty Harry just retired to his castle in a walled community with a Private armed police force where a tradesman must pass through 2 checkpoints and produce ID proving him a US Citizen. Harry fought against the rest of us being protected.
The Lords clearly told the unwashed rabble in 2016 who the rulers would be, after they quietly squashed that annoying TEA party. Both Parties clearly explained that the Primary Elections weren’t binding on them and they’d nomonate who they damn well pleased regardless of who the voters picked. Team D went as far as declaring the rabble weren’t and couldn’t be Members of the Party, just send money.
The general public has been largely rendered stupid by Public Education and kept ignorant by the so called Media. The proof is obvious in the election of OBamma to 2 terms and the Clinton Crime Family. The important members of the club will rule and they will live protected in gated mansions, and they will pay for it with your taxes. Trump is just a flash in the pan and they will stop him.
Or Will They?
