I'm not in charge. I have things I am required to do, but the outcome? In His Hands.
Can't be worse than that night.

So far, so good. This is better than Lerking, I get to sound off from time to time. So far the flame suit is unused.
Easy for me. Kids are grown and gone, I've met the grandkids, I actually like a couple of them.
I live alone. I still do daily PT. So it's simple and easy for me.
For those with small children? Not so simple, not so easy.
It's going to be up to old, grumpy farts to do the civil disobedience thing.

If you think so....
Last I heard, you were around when dirt was invented and Moses was an E-3.

What's the next right to be eroded? Will we have to get a license to write a blog expressing a political viewpoint? To attend the church of our choosing? To associate with whomever we want?
Just a guess, I don’t mind being wrong. :-)
Good point if you live long enough.
The Bill of Rights should apply equally to the poor as well as the rich. Unjust and excessive taxation of gun ownership is discrimination against the poor.
The SCOTUS says that a woman's right to privacy (i.e. abortion) is so important that the taxpayers must provide it for free to those unable to afford it.
They said that a person's right to vote was absolute, such that any attempt to charge a fee (poll tax) was unconstitutional.
Is Sandra Fluke's right to birth control more important than a single mother's right to protect her family?
Moses was an E-3.<<<
LMAO!..Caught me by suprise...U owe me a screen cleaning...or... Im gonna use that line and never give u credit for it
Even a smaller group of armed patriots gathered openly would cause hesitation because of the unpopular toll that it would take defeating them. Liberals for the most part wouldn't accept any action any more than Conservatives, and Obama doesn't control a giant robotic force that can't refuse orders.
One of the rumored executive orders Obama will issue will withhold state funds if not obeyed. That's the kind of issues that should be openly defied, and once they try withholding funds then federal tax collection should be stopped. Our best option is getting them to come to us anyway we can before having to go to them. I think it can be much more successful than an armed march on Washington, or having to make the first move to fight. Each side would rather the other escalate any violence, before reacting with violence. Having a specific enemy, and a preferred outlet to act is wanted, but is something you should assume won't be the case.
Open defiance at the local level of these issues and others like Obamacare also have the most potential for a peaceful outcome. I don't think the feds would fill comfortable escalating the situation. The stronger the patriot force and resolve, the less likely they would underestimate the toll that aggression would cost. I believe we can have a peaceful revolt this way, but we all have to do what we can to get things moving in time if it's going to be possible.

Persecute back, works for me.
i guess whoever kills first, then...
JRF,
I went Galut in 98. I will be 72 in March. Two years ago my wife’s friend was kidnapped from the local Fred’s parking lot and murdered. I thought it a wise move to get a concealed carry permit at the time and I now accompany her whenever she goes shopping.
Today I received a letter from The State of Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to submit $50.00 and a completed form to renew my permit that expires on May 1st. Now I find myself of 2 minds. Should I renew or just let it lapse since odds are within 2 years I will be considered a criminal for the simple possession of the firearm?
In either case I do not intend to relinquish my God given right to protect myself and my family and I expect they will get my gun and it’s ammo, after I have discharged it all in their general direction, hopefully from my still warm dead hand. I will not kneel to the false god.
I predict a second American civil war WILL take place, MARK MY WORDS.
Another prediction, the USA WILL break up along blue and read states lines.
