You're projecting again.
Considering you seem to advocate a war, you seem like the type of jihadist who doesn’t actually want to strap on the suicide vest yourself but would encourage others to do so.
Something Dickerson would have said to Adams if this were 1776, given Adams was often excoriated by those who continued to insist pleading with the Crown in the face of tyranny was their only option.
You should go and re-read your OP. You warn of impending dictatorship and civil war - yet your solution is to vote in a system that is completely corrupted and owned by the Ruling Class and the MarxoFascists. As if elections can save what's left of the Republic when this people are divided and the culture decayed and rotten.
To paraphrase John Adams, a people not governed by God and religion cannot maintain liberty, nor can the Constitution preserve natural rights in an immoral and wicked society. If arrogance is stating the biblical truth, then I stand guilty even if people like you assert such is a "deadly sin".
Scoffing and ridicule of my faith by someone like you notwithstanding.
Keep digging Invar, your arrogance knows no bounds.
His name was not Dickerson, it was John Dickinson. Also John Adams did not advocate for war until after Americans were attacked at Lexington and Concord, at which time the British had obviously declared war on the Americans and which happened a year before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Adams was only trying to cajole the Continental Congress to acknowledge what already existed, that being, since Lexington and Concord, a state of war between the Americans and the British Crown. Once again you show a weak grasp of history and facts.
I would not have said anything like that which you claim, about Adams, he put his very life on the line twice, once by defending the British soldiers accused of murder in the Boston Massacre and again by signing the Declaration of Independence, in fact he pledged his life, his fortune and his sacred honor, so again your leaps of logic about what I would say or do, and the fact that you attempt to compare yourself with John Adams is not only pitiful but again speaks to your over inflated view of yourself.
Yes I contend that a tyranny is coming unless we the people stop it at the ballot box and if/when it gets here then it will be time to take up arms, which I am prepared to do if it becomes necessary and by any reasonable standard now is not the time for civil war.
I’ve actually taken the oath to “preserve and protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God” when I entered the Navy in 1980. It was a lifetime oath with no expiration date, I am an oath keeper and will live up to it if/when the time comes.
Can you say the same, have you served and taken the oath?
My contention is not that a civil war should never happen just that now is not the time. In fact the title of my original post was “Time Grows Short”, to what do you think it referred?
My posts are not difficult to understand except for those who choose to stay willfully ignorant of their context. It seems you will not allow facts and reason to intrude upon what you choose to believe. For a self proclaimed Christian you seem somewhat dishonest considering the many ways you’ve taken things out of context and the straw-man arguments you continue to make, a fact which is backed up by the comments of others.
Most people are reasonable, you are not, you are an absolutist who deems all others, it would seem considering your posts, as evil and hedonistic. Let me remind you again that arrogance is one of the 7 deadly sins and you put your arrogance on display every time you post.
You quote John Adams and then claim it as a Biblical truth, talk about arrogance. Like I said you are an absolutist, in fact such an arrogant absolutist that you cannot even fathom that you might be wrong about anything, judging by your own words. Amazing. You don’t even have enough introspection to look at the man in the mirror, you are without wisdom, sorry to say.
