You guys can quit if you want. But 2014 is coming. There’s only one question: Who will answer the call?
I have been here since 1998. I worked security at the FreeRepublic March for Justice. I have been to DC multiple times to protest against Clinton with freepers. Yeah, we lost a few times but we ultimately won in 2000. We won because we never stopped fighting. And it was just in time because 9/11/2001 was coming. Who remembers that day? Did you want to quit? Did you want to surrender? Did you want to go “Galt” on us when the terrorists attacked? The people on that plane said “Let’s Roll”, not “Let’s Roll Over”.
We’ll survive this like we have always survived. We trained for the next fight. I have been on the front lines with freepers who have lost their lives. What the Hell would we say to them? Oh Chief Negotiator, we’re scared? Oh Harpseal, it’s too hard. Oh Militiaman7, what if we get hurt? Oh Ladyx, I’m tired. Oh Congressman Billybob, we’ll never win. Oh BCM, do I have to do it?
Who will fight with us? Who will fight for 2014? Who will fight for America? Who will ride to the rescue of Lady Liberty?

PING damn you PING

Pappy,

These people are not talking about quitting. “Atlas Shrugged” is about a recognition that your taxes and talents are being used against you, and by people who cannot even really feed themselves without your help.

There is no mystical hideout in Colorado to go to, so I expect most Galters to be around fighting. They just know what their greatest weapon is.

Best to you.

Who will fight with us? Who will fight for 2014? Who will fight for America? Who will ride to the rescue of Lady Liberty?

Unless you mean actually fight (as in swords and guns) there is no point.

[rep-always]

I will demonstrate, march and do whatever I have to do for my country. I am part of the tea party, 912 project etc., but I am going Galt. I WILL STARVE THIS BEAST. They want HANDOUTS, they’re not getting it from me.

I'm with you AppyPappy. I posted this earlier this afternoon on another thread -

I woke up thinking about this quote from Thomas Paine in 1776 -
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated. "

You are comparing times that are different. Back in 1998 and up until recently there were more producers than takers. Now it's about a new generation being even more indoctrinated to expect stuff as they leave their centers of propaganda, not to mention the increasing race baiting, and those who are to proud to wash dishes.

I'm sorry old MFJ bro, but it's going to take an economical collapse before the socialists wise up. Just today I cut off another liberal friend because she just couldn't understand simple economics and has lost commonsense. Count me as GALT. I'm done with the political system - I await the implosion as I head off to Arizona.

Sir - you are most correct.

Sure, we can bitch & moan and pontificate endlessly about why Romney lost or Obama won or why so many Americans are stupid. We can tear our sleeves, mourn, and even lay down.

Or we can fight. We can stand, not for a candidate, but for ourselves. We can tell both parties, and those other nefarious groups (unions/acorn/media/etc) that we are NOT going to roll over.

I plan on starting a thing called I-CAN (Indiana Conservative Action Network). We will (hopefully) be able to hold CIVICS classes in the local library - Constitution, History, Social/Governmental Theory w/some solid conservative principles.

I am hoping to start a grassroots campaign (on the local level and eventually the state level) to return integrity to the election process. Actual prosecution of voter fraud, tighter controls, etc...

“Yeah, we lost a few times but we ultimately won in 2000. We won because we never stopped fighting”

The Republicans won because people got sick of Clintoon and there were still sufficient numbers wanting the American Dream. Today, more than half don’t even know what that dream is and many more have had that dream stomped on. There are now more than half of the people getting a check from the federal government and many more getting a check from the State.

Until this corrupt system collapses you will not make a change for liberty.

Even the Romans knew that once the people could vote themselves money from the treasury the nation is doomed. We have a corrupt and unconstitutional system stealing from one to bribe votes of another. We have Taxation Without Representation.
