[Daniel II]

It’s good to be gifted. I’m Scots-Irish. :)

[Windflier]

Meyer's must have struck a nerve. There were 175 comments to the article.

And may I add, that some of that commentary was of a quality rarely seen outside places such as American Thinker and Free Republic. Lots of wheat - little chaff.

[Windflier]

When does our side start?

I must see that question posed at least 30 times a day, at present. There's no doubt that the pressure has built to a bursting point. The check of our ingrained civilizing traditions is all that's holding back the inevitable explosion.

It's my guess that the tyrants in Mordor on the Potomac are going to take one step too far; make one too many egregious assaults on our liberty, and the fuse will be lit.

It's hard to say what the flash point will be, but I know in my heart that it is coming. And, when it does, heaven help the traitors and their willing accomplices.

By yourself, you are nothing and your death will be meaningless. Your only shot at making a difference is to organize with a group and coordinate your actions. You need a voice, a message, and a means to get that message out. The tea parties are a starting point. But as far as I can tell, the tea parties are, so far, nothing more than a bunch of unhappy people doing the rodney dangerfield routine...”i get no respect, i tell ya” It’s gonna take a whole lot more than that.

[mamelukesabre]

Nah. They won’t give up their jobs and their pensions. They’ll just figure out a way to claim it’s none of their business and/or out of their hands.

[mamelukesabre]

People don’t pay attention to vows and oaths anymore. Why do you think they quit saying the pledge of allegience in school? Most people think it’s silly. These other oaths will be abolished soon too.

“They’ll just figure out a way to claim it’s none of their business and/or out of their hands.”

History supports you, of course. And that is fair enough, if they will just stay off the field.

[mamelukesabre]

They will. Or at least most of them will. Remember katrina?

[Costumed Vigilante]

By yourself, you are nothing and your death will be meaningless.

Thanks. Nope. My death, if/when I screw up, will follow a rather significant and successful effort to deconstruct the monstrosity that bedevils us.

BTW, I have no intention of waiting for some "leader" or movement to manifest before I act. You shouldn't wait either. This is the final round. Do, or do not. There is no "try".

Life, fortune, sacred honor and all that. Pray for the same opportunity to make a difference as an individual, because that is all we are: Individuals created in the image of the Almighty.

Lead yourself. Everyone else may choose to follow, or not.

White Throne is a personal experience, and in 100 years, we'll all be in the same place. Do you *really* want to be found to be "moderate" in defense of liberty?

A verbis ad verbera

"No one is going to turn in their guns."

That is the one, hopeful thing I truly believe. It almost makes me wish the bastards would try it. The trouble is, too many Americans will tolerate anything short of that.

[joe.fralick]

Your post is full of good, juicy quotes, Concho.

[mamelukesabre]

If they ask you to turn your guns in, you better turn in something. Otherwise they will take a closer look and try to get ALL of them.

At least that’s how I see it.

[mamelukesabre]

Killing yourself before there’s a plan wont do the cause any good.

I know quite a few military officers - modern and not just from "back in the day" - and I believe you are mistaken. The leadership and the rank and file in our armed forces have not changed significantly in a hundred years.

[Costumed Vigilante]

Killing yourself before there’s a plan wont do the cause any good.

Geezuz H...

1) I have no intention of "killing myself"

2) I have a plan which requires nothing of anyone else.

3) The "cause" is freedom. It *will* win. It has to. 2nd law of thermodynamics can't be violated.

[Armedanddangerous]

tell em to come get our guns down here in southern west virginia.

I’ll give them mine bullets first.

[Armedanddangerous]

You’ll know it when you see it.

It might be from the cops arresting talk radio people or conservative pundits on trumped-up charges. It may also be from raiding gun stores and shooting people in their homes on a large scale due to trumped up charges of domestic terrorism.

Its like a storm, you will know it when you see it.

Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959 -
We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their
elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."

[mamelukesabre]

Requires nothing of anyone else eh? what are you, your own country? You make up your own laws?

What makes you think the second amendment isn’t the violation of the second law of thermodynamics? When all anomalies are evened out over the whole planet over all time...DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM DO NOT EXIST!

We ARE the anomaly, bud. Like or not.

Otherwise freedom WOULD BE FREE! Do you get that? The only way freedom exists is if we force it to exist. And freedom isn’t bought by a bunch of half whit macho bozos going it alone and dying in the process. That’s how freedom is lost.

Like the first two and added it to my tagline!!

Ignore too dangerous and how we got into this fine mess.
