American Thinker is in the toilet tank with Obama as far as I'm concerned. They all but endorsed the Usurper and continuously refer to him as the president. Gutless traitorous turds.

We have to remember that this has not been the doing of Hussein acting alone. There are at least 60MILLION of our neighbors who agree with him and can't wait for Hillary to take over.
The hard question is; what will be done over the next year to preserve our union ...and can anything really be done?'

Does this mean you are against America’s revolution from the tyrant King George?

Until we can definitely say that voting is no longer fair and is rigged, our problem is not so much the tyrants that we elect, but that our citizens elect them. Spilling the blood of patriots and tyrants in this situation will resolve nothing because the citizenry will simply elect more tyrants. The Republican party has woken up enough to support Trump and Cruz and that does give me hope. But the problem is much larger than that. DannyTN's plan to restore the tree of liberty.
- Fix the MSM
- Get rid of foriegn ownership of the media in this country.
- Break the media up so that a few people can't control the opinions presented.
- Organize conservatives to take over ownership of some of the media.
- Help alternative media reach more people.
- Fix Congress
- Bring back the ABSCAM type sting operations and put congressment who accept bribes behind bars.
- Barr congressmen from owning any foreign stocks including ownership in blind trusts. We need congressmen focused on growing our economy, not China's.
- Make part of Congressional pay a bonus based on real income growth of the median household income. This would work against allowing cheap labor in as well as against failure to support families.
- We need to split up these Omnibus bills and fund each agency with a separate appropriation bill.
- Fix the judiciary
- We need sting operations against the judiciary and put any that accept bribes behind bars.
- We need to impeach judges that legislate from the bench.
- Restore the 10th.
- Enumerate every federal program and law that exceeds the authority granted by the 10th.
- If it makes sense to keep a program at the federal level, then pass an amendment authorizing it.
- We'll need a transition plan to restore the remaining functions/programs to the states.
- Educate our citizenry
- Run public service ads reminding people of the bill of rights.
- Fix the political parties.
Clearly we need leadership change, but I don't know how to do this.

When are we going to do it and where are we going to meet to get this started?
We need a list of our grievances and what we want done about them. Also how fast they better start answering to We the People.
A million or more angry voters descending on Washington is the only way to take our country back.
Sitting in our church pews with the doors closed hoping they will leave us alone has not worked for 50 years. It's time to open the doors, pile out and take back what we let them have and what we've let them get away with.

Oh chill, my point was there are better ways of doing things then th
an
shooting yourself in the foot. Do you really still think you can fly under the radar? We've all already attracted the attention of DHS. It's past time we quit hiding in the shadows like a bunch of mice, stand up like patriots, and dare the SOBs to do something.
What are the better ways of which you speak? Wasting hours here on FReep and other comment boards, preaching to the choir? Voting? Writing letters to the editor? Calling in to your local afternoon drive talk radio show? Geez Louise...we've been doing that for the last 25+ years and look at where it's gotten us.
No, it's (past) high time we draw the proverbial line in the sand and show TPTB who's the boss in this country. We're gonna attract some attention doing that, I hate to tell you, so man up. We're not gonna do this from the couch, drinking beer and watching Monday Night Football. Some of us are gonna have to get our noses bloodied.

Even while they were being marched to the gas chambers and crematorium ovens, the German and European Jews were saying to one another in the lines: â Shhh! Be quiet! Don ât antagonize the guards, and we will be just fine.â Yup. We better not make too much noise as the treasonous bastards destroy our country, confiscate our wealth, dispossess us of our homes, our guns - and, eventually, our lives. Dont want the mean old SS guards at DHS to put us on some list. That would be so 'un-American' of them. Sigh. AMEN.

OH yeah?
WHAT EXACTLY????
Vote for more Republicans????
Jefferson was so prescient to note in the Declaration that men are more disposed to suffering evil, while evil was sufferable, rather than to do what was necessary to abolish the forms to which they became accustomed.
You may be a case-in-point.

Well, you can vote for Trump for openers. He is not part of this corrupt government and says he will make America great again. Considering how successful he has been in life he may actually be able to lead the way. That’s more then I can say for any other presidential candidate during my adult life.
P.S. I voted for Reagan in his first presidential election, so I was not born yesterday.
To: ssfromla
"When are we going to do it and where are we going to meet to get this started?"Good question. I would suggest we all start locally. To borrow the slogan of a bunch of Leftist scumbags, "think nationally, act locally". To borrow another Leftist concept, we need to form community organization groups, and start knocking on doors. We've got to get control of our own towns, counties, school boards, highway districts and so on first. After that, all those cities, counties and states can work together to try to fix the nation. But if we try to bite off more than we can chew, we'll wind up like the Tea Party...just a bunch of scared, cowardly mice, afraid to come out of the shadows, 'cause someone might call us bad names.
As for when, the answer is right the f*%# now! Call a couple of good, like minded friends, invite them over for pizza and eggnog tonight, and start talking, planning and organizing. We're running out of time -- fast -- but there might still be time for the First Amendment to save this country. God help us if we have to turn to the Second.

Voting is not going to solve where we have arrived.
Voting for one man to high office to become a messiah and ‘save us’ is how we got Obama in the first place.
You want a dictatorship to ‘save us’? You already got one. You are just advocating we trade one dictator for another.
Liberty cannot endure or survive a people who make political messiah’s their prince.
You cannot stop tyranny via civil means. Never. Not upon a movement that seeks your subjugation and has no morals outside of it’s own. Nope.
The Ruling Class decides our leaders. If you haven’t figured that out by now - then you never will.
By the time you wake up and realize this truth - it will most likely be too late for you and yours.

Its tough to restore something that has been cut down, chopped into firewood and burned.

Good advice. Practical.
Repentance is needed on a local and national level first. Only a moral and religious people are capable of Freedom. In concert with that, are practical things to be done.
If we really want to get the party started to save the Tree, (if that is even still possible), then we need to convince as many as we can that the Federal Beast at Mordor on the Potomac is wholly and completely illegitimate.
It has disqualified itself from leadership. It is completely corrupt, and has corrupted everything it has touched. It has no legitimate moral or lawful authority since it usurped the Constitution and abrogated it. All it has is guns it puts to our heads to force compliance, while it robs us of everything and consigns our posterity to misery and destitution.
Convince enough people of this truth - and then withdraw our consent to be governed by such and refuse to comply with it - and then this Beast will make that last mistake,=. When that happens as a moral people, even if a minority - we have the Authority by God to defend ourselves and our faith from what they intend to do to us in the long-run anyway.
That is the model our Founders left us.
Do not comply. Refuse. Resist.
Then they will come for you. And you will know what time it is.
It is time to stop beating around the bush of where we have been taken and what we have to do, and what this Beast in DC is become.

Ahh, I see now. You are one of those people that has a set narrative and you force everyone to fit into it. I did not say Trump is a messiah, nor did I say I want a dictator. Not that it will make any difference to you, this is what I did say:
Considering how successful he has been in life he may actually be able to lead the way.
The one other point I would make is that maybe you should consider exhausting every avenue provided in the Constitution to fix America before resorting to arms. You may not like the outcome of an armed insurrection.
To: INVAR
Yep...refuse and resist. We need to remind TPTB that, in the words of Glenn Beck (yeah, he's a tool, but he was right when he said this), "we surround them". So let's get busy planning and organizing, then put the First Amendment to full use...not just pounding on a keyboard, thinking that we're doing something real.
But it all begins with talking...and not being afraid to stick our heads up. Someone has to lead the charge, so leaders, step up.
