Kevin Kim has been following me since late 2003 before I was a proper blogger commencing 4 May 2004 and only a mere slogger<\/em> (slow blogger without the proper software: I'd upload batches of short posts to a website that I have long since taken down).<\/span><\/p>\n

In his Conservatives Mourn<\/a>, Kevin links to me<\/a>, Malcolm Pollack<\/a>, and Bill Keezer<\/a>, and then asks:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Come on, gents– surely<\/em> you saw this coming?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, I didn't for a second think that there would be a landslide in favor of Romney, and I was puzzled by the cocksure pronunciamentos of Dick Morris and others who made up for their lack of crystal balls by displaying their brass balls.  But no, I didn't think the Obama win was inevitable, especially after his miserable showing in the first debate.  I thought Romney had a good chance of winning given all the objective considerations that condemn Obama, the litany of which I will not again recite.  If I was naive, it was because I foolishly underestimated the foolishness of the electorate and how it has been dumbed-down and stupefied by the flim-flam man and his empty rhetoric and outright lies and promises of all sorts of goodies that he is going to get the rich bastards to pay for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill Keezer, whom I have met in the flesh a couple of times and who truly deserves (as does Pollack) the epithet 'gentleman,' speaks in his post of civil war:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If you go back through my blogs for the past few months, you will see the prediction of a coming civil war.  The differences in the red vs. the blue states is now so fundamental, that I think civil war is quite possible.  I also think the red states will win, hands down.  They still have the values that make for effective soldiering.   Imagine street gangs against disciplined, seasoned fighters.  There will be no contest, and if the red states take mercy on the blue, woe to both.  It is time for justice.  (A concern of the last couple of blog posts, which is not moot.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

God help us if Bill is right and the present war of words and votes ramps up into a shooting war. Leftists need to be careful.  If push comes to shove, and shove to shoot, the Red Staters will clean your clock.    After all, they have the guns.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can we avoid tearing ourselves apart?  My recommendation<\/a> is a return to federalism.  But of course the Left, which is totalitarian from the ground up, won't allow that.  And so we may be in for some 'excitement.'<\/span><\/p>\n

Addenda<\/strong>: <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Obama wins, gun stocks soar<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ed Feser joins the mourning and adds some recrimination in his meaty post, Chief Justice Ockham<\/a>.  Be sure to follow the internal "Razor Boy" link.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Malcolm Pollack points us to a couple posts of his more substantial than the one linked to above. Here<\/a> and here<\/a>.  <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
