Who talks like that, "season of war?" How can anything get accomplished if you start out thinking you are at war with an opposing viewpoint?

The Founding Fathers created a Government based upon understanding and compromise and this guy wants a "season of war" in politics

Not to mention the disrespect of Veterans and active military personnel who know and fought in a war, now Stevie is telling everyone his political designs are similar to their experience
 
Good. I want war with the GOP. Bipartisanship is how we landed $20 trillion in debt

And spare me your faux indignation. Your idea of compromise is when the GOP bends over.

People on the right and left on this board talk about politics being a war. This can't be new to you

That's humorous coming from a supporter of eight years of obstinate politics and one now afflicted with amnesia with debt/deficits as applied to the new Administration
 
Legion, does it offend you when national writers refer to civil wars within the republican and democratic parties? Or only when Bannon says it?

you guys are missing the quote..war within the Republican party ( establishment vs. populists)

It's war, war against someone who holds a different point of view, regardless of who is involved it is not an appropriate term in this situation, reflects on the individual's character, and as I said dishonors those that know war

Bannon is not a writer nor did he uses the term in reference of a narrative illustrating events, rather, he employed it in reference to his own personal campaign one that characterizes a different view as an enemy, not an adversary, but an enemy, a criminal, illegitimate, malevolent, vindictive, not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

Third attempt at the same comparison, and your still not any closer, none of those references or narratives are enlisting anyone to go to war, not confront, nor oppose, but war, with opposing viewpoints

What do you think a civil war entails?

LOL. So the next time a politician says they will fight for you are you going to be pissed off because you think they will literally go punch someone on your behalf

Opposing politics isn't war, never was, and unless small minds like Bannon prevail, never will be

Civil war entails conflict, warfare, combat, fighting, bloodshed, etc, and in political terms, even beyond dissing the military, its only applicability would mean dogmatic, fanatical, insular, autocratic, authoritarian, etc.

He didn't say "fight" them, he specifically said "it’s a season of war," and delivered it with a fervent passion to a crowd of supporters
