Pat Buchanan: Can America Ever Come Together Again?

Can America Ever Come Together Again? | Patrick J. Buchanan
By Patrick J. Buchanan

If ex-CIA Director John Brennan did to Andrew Jackson what he did to Donald Trump, he would have lost a lot more than his security clearance.

He would have been challenged to a duel and shot.

“Trump’s … performance in Helsinki,” Brennan had said, “exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was … treasonous.”

Why should the president not strip from a CIA director who calls him a traitor the honor and privilege of a security clearance? Or is a top-secret clearance an entitlement like Social Security?

No. One side will have to defeat the opposition, maintain majority power, and constantly dominate them to keep them in check.

This country is permanently split and will never be unified again.

I like a lot of what Pat says but we've had a lot of upheaval for ages and ages to tell the truth.

I think America will come together when people rely less on the media and more on community organizing instead

News changes so fast, I think Brennan apologized for saying this:

From the article:
“Trump’s … performance in Helsinki,” Brennan had said, “exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was … treasonous.”

That's pretty bad.

No. 

And here's a better explanation as to why:

My first thoughts when reading the title were pretty much as Free Vulcan wrote.

The country is divided, and the two factions will never willingly unite again.
I said, "willingly".

The only "re-unification" will come by force.
After a struggle of some sort.
One side must defeat the other -- essentially, crush it out of existence.

Here's a "Fishrrman off-the-wall prediction" for ya:
This will happen after Mr. Trump is re-elected.

There will be actions taken by one state -- I'll guess by California -- that will be in open rebellion and defiance of the administration and the U.S. Constitution.

It will come to the point of "sending in the troops".
And that will happen.

Immediately, the other leftist states will "join" the rebellion -- Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Maryland, perhaps Illinois.
They will side with the California Rebs against the United States.

And then....?

Very rapidly coming to the same conclusion.  Sad to say that but it's true.

And do you honestly believe, for a split second - that anything resembling an America that once existed is going to emerge from that?

The Marxist Left has war-gamed the extermination of 20-30 million of us whom they pre-determined could not be re-educated.  Have we on the *right* arrived at the same mindset that they had arrived at back in the 1980's?  To exterminate millions because they will not be 'reeducated' to accept our worldview?

Sure, you can crush those who hate the country and want it fundamentally transformed - but you will never again willingly unite a people under liberty again.  Hell, we cannot even agree on the fundamentals among ourselves.

You will simply have rule by force - and we will have become just like every other dictatorial banana republic before us.
