Don't forget the need to create an alternative, patriotic/conservative pop culture. The 40-and-unders don't get their news from the traditional media, they get it from Kanye West, Jon Stewart or whoever that dipstick who replaced him, Jimmy Kimmel, et al. They don't read newspapers, they don't watch Fox News, listen to Rush or take classes at Liberty University...they play video games, watch videos on You Tube, movies on Netflix, and listen to whatever drivel is pounded out by rock/pop/"party" radio.

We've got to reach them, and since they ain't coming to us, we have to go to them...hence the importance of using music, movies, TV, professional sports and video games to get through to them. I've been thinking lately that conservative candidates for office need to hire the ad agency that does the T-Mobile and Twitter commercials...that's what gets kids' attention.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“If we go to the right authority, which is God, Caesar’s authority will eventually discover that it is founded on quicksand and that it will dissolve. We won’t have to raise a finger; it will be utterly unnecessary. It will destroy itself quite readily as God shunts it to hell in the supernatural realms.

It is for us to stay calm, persevere through trials, and keep believing in God’s promises.”


Ahhh..the voice of experience and faith :) Amen to that!

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.

I was responding to what you posted in 11 and what you replied in post 34. Your solution to all this (instead of shooting ourselves in the foot by daring to talk this way) is to vote for Trump according to you. As if that in itself is going to save us. As if what the Ruling Class is doing right now to invalidate the will of the people is not actually happening.

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 channeling John Dickinson or what? We are past the point of olive branch petitions to a tyranny. Both King and Parliament along with it's judiciary have met every effort we have made lo these many years for redress with repeated injury and contempt.

They have solidified corruption to a level that their towers of power cannot be breached and they refuse to be reasoned with as they steal our wealth, consign our children to destitution and misery and place in our midst, barbarian hordes intent on our subjugation or death.

You are welcome to prostrate yourself before the Beast and beg. Some of us are done acting like dogs begging for scraps. it is time to recognize that they no longer have any authority, and it is time to defy them and refuse to comply with all their tyranny.

That includes our withdrawal of funding their existence.

Doing so will certainly result in the Beast using arms to force compliance.

Then perhaps you might discover what time it is.

Or perhaps not. Tyranny is comfortable to most who dare not risk liberty.

I think maybe I stumbled into the wrong room. Excuse me, I’m out of here.

Amen brother.... bears repeating.

Some folks simply don’t understand basic principles.

When God is out of the equation, failure is imminent.

What did you think Jefferson meant when he wrote ‘Refresh the Tree of Liberty”?

Olive branch petitions?

Yes, I submit you may have the wrong room.

Not discounting the need for national Repentance and reliance upon The Almighty for the security of our blessings - but I do not find in either scripture or our own history- that a people who want liberty and to be free of tyranny never had to lift a finger to secure it.

The truth is quite the opposite. Whether it was Ancient Israel or our own Founders. It took the sword and blood by those who wanted it to establish liberty.

It's wrong to state that all we have to do is stay on our knees and keep our fingers still and in prayer and God will do all the work for us. That is biblically inaccurate.

Even the Hebrews had things they had to do in order to be free of the tyranny of Egypt. God did not just do everything for them. They had preparations to do, a long walk to take and STILL even after the miracles, they wanted to go back into slavery.

Such is the nature of man. Moreso for those who think there is nothing we must do of ourselves beyond prayer.

“It’s wrong to state that all we have to do is stay on our knees and keep our fingers still and in prayer and God will do all the work for us. That is biblically inaccurate.”

I concur... man, as a willing vessel, must strive to put forth the effort and let God do the rest.

Otherwise... well... the evidence of what man on his own
has accomplished is in many places unheard of in recent years gone past.

“But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” comes to mind as of late.

Stand therefore and gird up your loins with the truth having on the breastplate of righteousness is what must be done from here on out.

Enough people do that and the enemy is toast.

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.

I think we need to apply that to Mexico, too, whose leaders have been scamming us for 50 years.

I think Baja California would be just compensation for the trouble they've put us to.

I must say that DHS can place their puckered lips upon my posterior.
