AUDIO: Victor Davis Hanson talks about the causes of Civil War v. 2.0

Some people say a second Civil War is coming... soon. Some say it's already here -- if not a shooting war, at least the culture war which is already being fought throughout the Excited States of America. What will it take to turn today's war of words into an honest-to-goodness armed conflict?

Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He has been a commentator on modern and ancient warfare and contemporary politics for National Review, the Washington Times, and other media outlets. In this podcast (audio only) he talks about the changes in American society that have occurred in the last decade which make Civil War v. 2.0 almost inevitable. Listen carefully.

 

Please note that I said "almost inevitable". Towards the end of this podcast, Mr Hanson says a shooting war can still be averted if we can avoid doing the things -- he lists them -- that caused the shooting to start in in 1861. 

Although the time is late, each of us, he says, can do a lot to stop things from getting to that point. The one thing Mr Hanson forgot to mention is the power of prayer. Don't forget to pray: God save America!
