I remember as a young child that the key to winning a lot of
the neighborhood games in football and basketball was all about who got picked
first. If you were lucky enough to get Michael on your team, then you knew you
were going to win. If you were in a foreign park playing against kids you did
not know, Michael was the great equalizer. I also knew that getting the right
kids on my side helped in spelling bees and walking home from the movies so I
didn’t get beat up. Learning how to organize my team with the right people,
served me well when I became a men’s college head basketball coach in terms of
winning the recruiting wars. I always felt the April recruiting wars was the
deciding factor in many games in the following December.
America is in the choosing sides phase of the coming civil war. To use a
college recruiting phrase, it is accurate to state that the letters of intent to
join one side or another have mostly been signed and the commitments offered.
However, there is one big uncommitted piece, but very soon the sides will be
drawn.
The Chess Pieces of Civil War
What is going on today in America all about choosing sides.
There are clear lines being formed in the United States. The recruiting pool
consists of the Department of Homeland Security, the American military, local
law enforcement, the Russian troops pouring into the United States, the trickle
of Chinese troops coming into the country through Hawaii and, of course, the
poor, the middle class and elite. This is the recruiting pool which will form
the chess pieces of the coming American Civil War.
Even if all parties in this country wanted the country to
continue, even in its present mortally wounded state, it would be foolish to
believe that it could continue for much longer.
