Civil War II thoughts

I hope I haven't worn out the Civil War analogy.  I'll try it yet again. Think of June, 1863.  Behind?  First and Second Manassas, the Seven Days, Fredericksburg and, worst of all, Chancellorsville. "My God", said President Lincoln, "what will I tell the nation?" Ahead? Victory and a united America, with all the good that brought the world in the 20th century. 

Ok,  we've lost another one in the fight against Obamacare and it will be ever that much harder to eviscerate it now.  But not nearly impossible.  Imagine if we were living under Hillary's onerous sway now and her third attempt to destroy the 2nd Amendment had just been turned back but not because we repelled it, because Dems themselves thwarted her.  We'd be pretty nervous about the future survival of our gun rights, yes?  Despite their whistling in the dark that they are out of the woods on Obamacare's survival, Dems know its still in mortal danger.  And it is; 2018 is coming.

Just think of what it would have been like had the radicals prevailed in 2016.  They would have hastened to extend the Federal government overreach which was and is the overall purpose of Obamacare.  But they have not the power to do it.We should take heart from that continuing and joyous reality.

In a football game, one team can be on the opponent's five yard line, then fumble - the fumble is picked up by the opposing team and run in 95 yards for a TD. What could have been a seven point lead becomes a seven point shortfall - really a 14 point difference.  The Dems may think they are on the five yard line and ready to score with the salvation of Obamacare, but they are not!

The solution to the GOP disarray evident in the failure to muster adequate support for President Trump's initiatives is 2018.  Replace the waverers with those who have the fortitude to back our courageous President.  He was elected because he was NOT one of them.  The nomination of Roy Moore is an encouraging start. 

So take heart, all of us who know we are engaged in an existential war with the American left for the life of this, despite its flaws, best great country on earth. Jack
