    Default "Right now it’s a season of war against a GOP establishment,” - Steve Bannon

    http://www.politico.com/story/2017/1...connell-243777

    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

    People on this board aren't individuals with high profiles nor influence in the White House, big difference

    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

    I don't know how you were diverted / You were perverted too
    I don't know how you were inverted / No one alerted you

    Legion, does it offend you when national writers refer to civil wars within the republican and democratic parties? Or only when Bannon says it?

    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

    Is the article calling for individuals to go to war, implying an opposing view as the type of adversary one would find in a war?

    Their metaphor could be inappropriate, but it doesn't come anywhere close to Stevie's rage, in fact the article even mentions the need for "open debate," not the mobilization for war

    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?
