A few days ago, Jack Minzey, sent what was to be the final chapter in the long line of books and treaties which he had written.Jack went to be with the Lord, last Sunday, 8 April 2018.
Professionally, Jack was head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein. His interest in Conservative Politics was exceeded only by his intellectual ability.
This is the last of his works:
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here.
What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win. It means they don’t believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
There’s no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn’t dissent. It’s not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they’re the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don’t win, what you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it’s inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can’t scratch his own back without his say so, that’s the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that’s not the system that runs this country. The Democrat’s system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He’s a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can’t do anything. He isn’t even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has ‘discretion’ to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn’t even have the ‘discretion’ to reverse him. That’s how the game is played That’s how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn’t yet won that particular fight.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren’t even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that.
Whether it’s Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can’t serve in if you’re not a member. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren’t in the club. And Trump isn’t in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren’t in the club with him.
Now we’re seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That’s not a free country.
It’s not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an ‘insurance policy’ against Trump winning the election. It’s not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It’s not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It’s not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn’t supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we’re in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.
Thanks, Dave, great e-mail.

Mr. Minzey has written a great article, but a few of his assumptions are quite wrong. There is not a Civil War in America in the 21st century between a conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government, at least not yet. The conservative volunteers, namely the Republicans, are not in a battle to the death with the leftist Democrats, at least not yet. The Republicans are volunteers in no sense of the word, at least not yet. The last I heard they are as highly paid as any Federal employee in any other administration in the country’s history. As our Founding Fathers conceived a long time ago, it is the PEOPLE who have the authority to rule, and it is the PEOPLE who want to rule. The PEOPLE are sloppy in carrying out their rule, and they are sloppy, even ineffective in many ways, but it is the PEOPLE who are trying to rule through their Constitution and their Vote. The rule of the PEOPLE jerks back and forth between the liberal Democrats and the Conservative Republicans, not Volunteer Republicans, only because the country is, at the present time in the 21st century, so equally divided. No Congress can rule effectively with a ONE VOTE plurality, neither can any President rule effectively with a Congress controlled by a large majority of the opposition. With all due respect to Mr. Minzey, the country is far from a Civil War. The conditions that cause separation and civil war is not nearly what they were immediately prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1865; however, those conditions that might lead to the destruction of our democracy and the banning of the Constitution as well as the failure of Constitutional Government are not so far away. The danger of that happening is very real. It can be avoided only if the naysayers are wrong. It can be avoided only if a free people really can rule themselves in peace, if they really can resurrect the kind of great leadership in times of crisis to bring the nation together for the Common Good. It can be avoided only if those liberal Democrats and those Conservative Republicans out their among the People can elect the kind of leaders to see the country through any crisis. I think they can, and I think they will, all for the Common Good. The Liberal Democrats are leftward, and the Conservative Republicans are Rightward; but, in the end, a way will be found to bring them together to save the nation, the Constitution, and the Common Good.
Thankyou for this terrific post, I am glad I discovered this website on yahoo.
