Rep. Maddock's comments about a civil war aren't just irresponsible they're dangerous | Opinion

Oh, state Rep. Matt Maddock, you rakish scamp you, trying to be kinda Lincoln-esque with your warnings about civil war. Not quite on the level of a "house divided cannot stand," but there you were, saying that if law enforcement keeps going after conservatives, there will be civil war, then warning your guys will be mushed. Lordy, lad, breathe oxygen, please.
Saying there will be violence in fact, a civil war or revolution predicting it, saying it should be expected, was, however, not the most disturbing thing the Milford Republican has said recently.
Most disturbing was what Maddock did not say. For not once did he oppose violence, say it was wrong, or that no one should encourage violence.
Nope, Maddock said "someone" will get super mad, shoot someone else, there will be civil war, and "we" meaning, one presumes, todays conservatives will suffer more violence. ................(more)
