In my opinion, we are rapidly being drawn to the point where our second Civil War is becoming inevitable. Whether this one creates rivers of blood as the first did is strictly in the hands of God. There has been a great resurgence of churchgoing among conservatives, which contrasts with a renouncement of religious belief among progressives. As was the case with the Bolsheviks, our left's new religion is the communist state they desire. We have two adversaries to fight simultaneously: the Islamists and the Democratic Socialists. They are equally dangerous to our Republic and liberties. May God bless us and give us the strength of will to join this fight and save our nation for our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.
Polish journalist Rafał Gan-Ganowicz was a patriotic anti-communist who had fought them in battle. Later, when asked what it felt like to kill other human beings, Rafal said "I don’t know, I’ve only ever killed communists."
I will never forget this encounter with a godless French matron in San Luis Obispo. We were in line at a downtown coffeehouse when she sneezed and I proffered a cheery "God Bless You!" At this, her head whipped around and she went full-blown sneering harridan:
"WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOU AMERICANS? ALWAYS GOD THIS OR GOD THAT…IN FRANCE WE SAY HEALTH BE WITH YOU!"
I don’t recall my reply exactly but it was a brief and kind reminder of the obvious.
An excellent and succinct piece, Jack! The French Revolution was a disaster that dissolved into bloodshed, tyranny and Godlessness under the Jacobins. The Democratic Party’s Jacobins, progressives and leftists have taken over. Bernie Sanders better watch his head and his back and hold on with both hands because it’s only a matter of time before they come for him. There’s a famous saying I don’t remember who once said “the revolution devours its own children.” about the French Revolution well, that’s exactly what the American left do. They eat each other all the time. It’s only a matter of time before Democrats turn their fire on each other that’s guaranteed with them! Look at what they did to Eric Swalwell when he got MeTooed! They basically ran Tulsi Gabbard out of town on a rail! The party tried to burn Eric Adams at the stake for daring to work with Tom Homan to get illegal immigrants out of New York City, they try everyday to get John Fetterman kicked out of the party for dating to be bipartisan, Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan all the left the Democratic Party when they saw how insane it was getting, Hasan Piker said Bernie Sanders was weak because he was gracious toward Joe Biden during the primaries, Josh Shapiro’s home was burned to the ground by far-left, pro-Palestine fanatics because he’s a Jew and pro-Israel and for both those reasons, Kamala Harris refused to pick him as her running mate and 2024, and the mob came for Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton when he had the temerity to say he doesn’t think biological men should compete in women’s sports.
I could go on and on. There are so many more examples of them eating each other and alienating loyal supporters. Next, it’ll be Barack Obama, the Clintons, Joe Biden, Bernie, and many more. So they all better brace themselves. AOC and Scott Wiener both got a taste of this when crazy far-left activists attacked them for not being pro-Palestine enough. Not that I feel sorry for them, I don’t. But that’s how these loons act. The Democratic Party has decided to embrace the Democratic Socialists of America so this is what they get! Enjoy losing every election until the end of time and Marco Rubio getting elected to two terms as our 48th President! Be my guest, elect the DSA if you want crime all over the place, drug addicts, mentally ill people, homeless people, and sexual predators everywhere, people being let off for crimes because of their skin color, businesses leaving your city or state, crummy city-run grocery stores, taxes going through the roof, illegal immigrants running around doing whatever they want to whoever they want whenever they want, the police being totally defunded if not outright abolished, jobs fleeing to red states, boarded up neighborhoods and business districts, public schools losing accreditation, kids learning CRT, ethnic studies and gender ideology in school, plastic straws being banned, and poverty skyrocketing. It’ll be a blast! Can’t wait for New York City to become another Cuba or Venezuela!
Meanwhile, Donald Trump warts and all, is killing it in the White House! While the DSA destroys the Democratic Party from within, he’s out here banning gender-affirming care for minors, banning DEI, getting TSA workers paid during the Democrat-initiated government shutdown, bringing the Israeli hostages home, securing the border, passing the Laken Riley Act, bombing the Islamic Republic into oblivion, arresting and locking up Nicolas Maduro, standing by Israel as they wipe the floor with Iran’s proxies, forcing NATO to get out of mommy’s basement and get a job, giving women greater access to IVF, blocking Fentanyl from getting into our country, demolishing Iran’s nuclear facilities, rescuing an downed American pilot trapped in Iran, reviving space exploration, getting Israel and Lebanon to make peace, kicking China out of the Panama Canal, working to secure Greenland and its vast mineral wealth, making America hundreds of millions of dollars with his tariffs, getting Europe to stop ripping us off on trade, cutting tremendous free trade deals, getting Canada and Mexico to get their act together, putting pressure on the Communists in Cuba, building informal alliances with India and Indonesia, negotiating eight peace agreements in some form or another, banning Trans athletes in women’s sports, and making America healthy again with crusader RFK Jr.
I can only hope it’s Obama and the Clinton’s next . But we are in more danger than that Muslim and those 2 traitors . They have their security, hell don’t they get lifetime presidential security? Where as you and I on the other hand are in far more danger than they are .
A common sense analysis, Jack. I argue not for blood in the streets but am fully prepared if such should occur. The DSA and it's self imposed marginalized legions so well identified in your narrative today, deserves extermination.
Many thoughtful points, but “our Jacobins that they have already lost control of their own revolution” is likely the most comforting and , I believe, most accurate.
Wow, Mr. Cashill, you are always an important voice, but this article should be required reading for every American.
The oft quoted, George Santayana offered, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" is wise, but not wise enough. We must not only remember, but learn, from the past.
Your vision of how the DSA and the Jacobins align in the destruction they will bring is essential knowledge. \May your readers spread it about.
Great comparison Jack. We have everything but the guillotine. Would not be surprised if that is next. This is not just children in adult bodies cosplaying anymore. There are seriously disturbed people manipulating them.
In reading the late Congressman Larry Patton McDonald’s eye-opening book "We Hold These Truths", he ipoints out the radical Earl Warren Supreme Court’s foray into social engineering, including the special protections it gave Communists in government and education — the Warren Court treated them as a form of protected species.
In my view Trump is intentionally “heightening the contradictions” (as leftists say) by attacking and trolling the entire left. That serves to make the battle line quite clear: MAGA or gay race communism (and Islam). I think his goal is a lasting MAGA victory, with majority support among voters and in Congress, that will avoid a civil war.
The DSA is engaging in a Dance Macabre with the islamists. They should tread lightly but know that they won’t. That will be their downfall; hopefully, they don’t take the rest of country with them.
One of the salient differences between the American and French "Revolutions" is the difference between equal opportunity and equal outcome. Socialism/egalitarianism/jacobinism champions the latter and is necessarily in perpetual war with reality. (See K. Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron.) As a consequence it is necessarily totalitarian and violent. And so the French version of the Revolution was.
Two, Paine, if not Jefferson (and maybe Franklin?) was in France at the time and observed the Revolution with approval.
Three, the infamous Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1672 persecution of the Protestant French Hueguenots preceded the French Revolution's persecution of the Roman Church and clergy.
The "equal outcome" pitch is aimed at the slow thinkers, but the elitists ultimately responsible for that pitch live far above any pretense of equal outcomes.
I have Huguenot ancestry and am a 50+ yr member of the Huguenot Society of America (NYC-based); they were skilled artisans in many fields and France lost a strong middle class when they left.

After the Restoration the (new) king's agents, after they dug up Cromwell's body, went looking for these guys, who had sailed for New England, but the Puritans in Mass. and the Congregationals in CT never revealed their hiding spots.

Devaluing the currency of Western values and western men in favor of socialist pipe dreams is like buying FartCoin with Gold.

Excellent anayisis
