During Antifa protests in Harrisburg, and Gettysburg, we had a very strong contingent of Light Foot, III%ers, and Oath Keepers. And in fact were recognized and thanked by LEOs, State Police and even the FBI. <br /><br />Anyway, I don't fear Antifa for reasons and others.<br /><br />JackJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536465267572121944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-50180670684577725802017-07-10T10:55:50.533-07:002017-07-10T10:55:50.533-07:00(posted over at WC's.

But remember the P-51 fighter, the Hellcat and Corsair fighters which were superior to German/Japanese fighters. And yes, the Germans were the first to put a jet fighter in combat and could have done so much earlier had Hitler not been such a stupid control freak. <br /><br />And for the German stuff, true their tanks were technically much better, but the Germans over-engineered them, making them more difficult to produce and more difficult to keep running in the field.Fish Out of Waterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729449106447506298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-32786898076222735072017-07-08T13:56:54.401-07:002017-07-08T13:56:54.401-07:00"...technical ability to produce superior wea..."...technical ability to produce superior weaponry."<br /><br />Our weaponry in WWII wasn't all that superior.

Our own War of Independence. The British did not take seriously our resolve or our ability to go toe to toe with their army (yes, the French did help)<br />2. Napoleon. His famous quote that the British were a nation of shopkeepers. Some shopkeepers they were.<br />3. Our Civil War. Both sides were equally and disastrously wrong about how seriously they took each other.<br />4. The Germans in WWI and in WII. WWI, when asked about the significance of American intervention, one German general is said to have remarked, he'd send the police to arrest them. In WII, they (and the Japanese) grossly underestimated/ did not take seriously our industrial capacity, the willingness of our soldiers to fight and our technical ability to produce superior weaponry.<br /><br />Guess we'll have to agree to disagree.Fish Out of Waterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729449106447506298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-28829147471389895002017-07-08T11:48:00.739-07:002017-07-08T11:48:00.739-07:00I thought of that, but whatever the opinion held o...I thought of that, but whatever the opinion held of his views, he was always clear and detached.

You're c...And I respectfully disagree with you. You're comparing apples to orangutans. The Russian revolutionaries were heavy with disgruntled military, working lower class used to hardships with little or nothing to lose, and left-leaning middle-class. In America, the military was starting to purge Patriots under Obama and would have continued under Clinton. They didn't plan on a military re-birth under Pres. Trump and Sec. Mattis. If there are Marxist revolutionaries in the military, they're in the minority.<br />The underclasses in America have been systematically pitted against each other by the Left to keep any one group from gaining too much power. What they didn't count on was the identity politics taking such deep root in the fertile soil of welfare entitlement mindset. Each group feels they should be more entitled than the others, and when push comes to shove, it will be easy to turn them against each other.<br /><br />And finally, American middle class in the 21st century compared to Russian middle class at the turn of the 20th century are soft and coddled. They can't even imagine the hardships they'll face in a revolution and have no practical skills of survival. Most Patriots are crazy ass "preppers" who know at least basic survival skills and have basic provisions laid back.<br /><br />The Russian Revolutionaries were prompted to overthrow the government because their living conditions were untenable. The Antifa Revolutionaries are being prompted to revolt because they aren't getting enough free shit and some people don't want co-ed bathrooms. There's really no comparison.hiswiserangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823260651306838495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612801744889562315.post-33661504533345067402017-07-08T06:37:48.086-07:002017-07-08T06:37:48.086-07:00Sorry, but disagree with the post and most of the ...Sorry, but disagree with the post and most of the comments.

As to a civil war, God help us that it doesn't come to that, but if it does, the main thing that Patriots have going for them, is that our cause is one that we are willing to defend with our lives, if need be. I doubt that many on the left are that committed.
