History for Kossacks: April, 1861

Sun Oct 01, 2006 at 06:46:59 PM PDT

And so here we are, at the brink of all-out civil war.  Guns are trained at forts flying the Stars and Stripes, the lame-duck President is waffling, and jingoistic rhetoric and religion-based self-righteousness have usurped rational debate.  The factions have reached the point of irreconcilability; by this stage, too many promises made in the spirit of compromise have been broken, too much ill will generated by hyperbolic arguments - the only question left is how amicable the breakup will be.

Join me, if you will, in the Cave of the Moonbat, where tonight the gloves come off and the cannonballs start flying.  Nationalist pride will be met with Federalist will, abhorrence at the mistreatment of human beings will find expression in the muzzle of a gun - and generations of Americans will be given a model of what a President with the ability to rise to the challenges of his age actually looks like.
