I think there's a clue to part of the answer here: http://freedomkeys.com/paradox.htm#pcdt.
Just as bad, the WH will be counting the people in the 2010 census. And Dems all over the nation are redrawing the Congressional districts.
I wasn’t going to disclose those details. I didn’t think it would do anything but incite fear. But I believe you’re correct in your assessment. I’ve said several times in the past couple of months that if leftists weren’t so godless and stupid they’d be grateful that we don’t publicly hang a certain few (but significant) number of them ASAP. But because we hold to a higher principle, and have more faith than that, we’re not quick to shed blood. Therefore, as with the One we follow, look to for guidance, and offer worship... we WITHHOLD. I won’t offer any guesses as to how long this will hold out though. From my vantage point, things “appear” to be getting just a tad stressed.
BTTT
Like you and some of our loyal patriotic American friends, I too no longer believe what is needed is possible to achieve within our fatally damaged system, afflicted as it is by the "three cancers" you have cited. More direct means will be necessary.
As you so eloquently point out, most of the present grotesque mess is our own fault. But that doesn't mean we can't clean it up.
IT WILL BE SHUT DOWN... sooner or later..
Hopefully later.. America is going the way of California..
Its hard to be cynical enough.. I am actually more cynical than I post..
Forgive me for my optimism..
what I’ve said is just common sense to anyone who’s been paying attention.
And as the saying goes, if you aren’t outraged, you haven’t been paying attention.
The precursers of socialist domination are all there but most refuse to accept the reality of their own eyes.
As a student of socialist history, the very same moves we
see the left make today are the moves they have always made
and it bodes no good for our future. The trial balloon of
DHS and “right wing terror” only serve to give an excuse
for the repression of any who disagree with their agenda.
People laugh at that but they won’t be laughing when it’s
their turn in the pipe. Then of course it will be too late
and their fate will be decided for them.
Tet.
If this is the way you honestly feel, then you should go back to lurking here, and cease from demoralizing the troops with your doom and gloom posts.
Seriously. Be quiet. Just listen.
I have now posted noumenon's entire speech that he will give on July 4th on my site.
I have a problem with shutting up and following " my betters"..
My betters seem to be actors, aping, a script..

Betters?
If you're talking about people who post here with unbroken spirits, who haven't succumbed to the temptation of apathy, who voice undying love of country and willingness to give whatever it takes to reclaim it, then yes, I'd say they're your betters.
This is Free Republic - not the Woe is Us Forum. Spread your apathy somewhere else.

bttt
I think the time of peaceful protest is over.
That really cheered me up!
Yeah... you know... those that think they are..
And advise with silly advice...
Dear Joanie, we need to understand the reasons why the audience appeared "lukewarm."
My sense is this wasn't a case of they just didn't get it or were indifferent to the message. On the contrary, I think they may have gotten the message very well indeed — and it scared the sh*t out of them (pardon my French).
It boils down to Thomas Jefferson's profound insight: When the people fear the government, there is Tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is Liberty.
Let's face it: We the People now fear the government. The single most effective way to end this seemingly endless usurpation of the sovereign liberties of the People by the Obama administration (in apparent concert with the Pelosi Congress and Reid Senate, not even to mention the Supreme Court) would be to simply "starve the beast."
However, the People know the beast lusts to impose draconian punishment on anyone who refuses to render sacrifices unto its unholy alter. So to speak. So the People fear, and they despair over their own seeming powerlessness to correct the corruption and abuse that is killing the American future. No wonder Beck's audience was subdued....
May God ever bless Glenn Beck! He is our modern-day Thomas Paine — and the rest of the Sons of Liberty rolled into the bargain. In contrast, Bill O'Reilly lately seems never to have even heard of the U.S. Constitution before, not in his entire life. His idea of "fair and balanced" seems to be: Stand on both sides of every issue.
Maybe "blame" Glenn Beck for this? Since joining Fox News, it seems he has pushed O'Reilly massively to the Left. To put it mildly, I have fallen away from O'Reilly's show in recent times....
Beck is where the real action is anyway. His shows are amazingly informative, and there's some little piece about the Constitution every day. It's an education for "the clueless." And a confirmation for those "clued-in" on the Constitution and how it's supposed to operate.
Anyhoot, dear sister in Christ, please do not despair. God is still in charge. Truth and justice are not dead. And He will not forsake His beloved.
And so we have good reason to hope.
Or so it seems to me.
Thank you ever so much, dear joanie-f, for your beautiful, poignant, and deeply moving essay/post! May God's blessings be with you and your loved ones.
Those are great! Thanks for the ping. Bookmarked
What is the rest that they forget?
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
