Then read the source article and the comments on that blog. I think all of you will identify with the currents driving the politics of "fly over country" toward DC.
Source article here:
Sounds like a trailer for another Zombie movie.
When it finally surfaces no NSA, FBI, DHS, or army will be able to stop it once it begins IMHO
Love the graphic!
I’m considering leaving.
Americans suck.
I’d love to read the article, but I can’t get past how much I want the redhead in the picture to turn around and have the camera taking her picture to pull back.
;-)
The money quote from a commenter:
I think it is frustration by the law-abiding, those with a real stake in the American system who are seeing it bled and pickpocketed by “others” with no stake in the American culture, economy, or polity, all orchestrated by our own elites. Our elites are sell-outs.
...
Americans are a conservative people, at heart. The question is how far can we be pushed? That’s why Trump is looking so good to so many – he promises a one-man mini-revolution at a cost we think we can afford. The Republic can survive a Trump. Another Obama or a military coup, we’re not so sure.

Can it happen here? Might it happen soon?

I’m praying that Donald Trump is sincere. If he turns into just another Judas Goat, given the amount of anger and frustration out here, “they” (and we all know who “they” are) WILL NOT be able to contain what happens next. There will be BIG TROUBLE!!
This comment from Conservative Treehouse is close:
Maybe people are approaching the feelings of Todd Beamer on Flight 93 and are just waiting for somebody to utter “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.”
I’m ready. I’m trying to figure out how a successful revolution is begun and won. I’m in a rage most days. I’m told others are as well though I don’t see much of it. If there was as much rage as I feel the streets would not be safe for any politican.
I have sweet visions of the feral gubment being destroyed.
From the source:
On the drive to and from the East Coast, I paid attention to the billboards and bumper-stickers. Folks, the people in “Fly over” country are PISSED, from the guy that guides hunters, to the mayors of towns and cities, to state senators congressmen and Governors who are voting to arrest and imprison federal law enforcement officials for enforcing federal gun laws that don’t agree with state law … The political pendulum has never, in the history of humanity, stayed on one side of a swing. The back lash from over reach has always been proportionate to how far off center it went before coming back … right now we’re staring at a whole hell of a lot of the country (about 80-90% of the land mass, as well as about 50% of the population) that is FED UP. You really don’t want those guys to decide that the only way to fix it is to burn it down and start over…
Let me say that again: “You really don’t want those guys to decide the onloy way to fix it is to BURN IT DOWN and start over...”
Better to BURN IT DOWN than to live with it like it is and in slavery. I say BURN THE WHOLE DAMN MESS of the feral gubment to the ground!!!
Think about it, a recall of VW diesels that WERE TESTED BY THE EPA because they don’t satisfy their own emissions requirements!!!! Who suffers? VW and the workers in Tennesses and the owners of the cars. What are the EPA fools going to do when the car owners don’t get the recall work done? Come get the cars? I don’t think so.
Try this one as well: “ are subtle signs of that cold anger, an anger too quiet for our major media organs to notice, save perhaps on those occasions when their comment threads explode.” My rage is so cold I am now heartless. I will cross the street so I don’t have to face an alien or a taker. I do it for my own protection. My emotions are just hardly in check.
Those on the edges, the parts of our culture where freedom is a fundamental part of life, where you don't need a building permit to put up a shed or a permit to cut down a tree, or who remember sending an order form and a check in the mail to buy a firearm, noticed long ago as these things changed.
Those who surrendered freedom for the convenience of living in town have felt the walls closing in as rule and regulation and reams of code have nibbled away at Liberty from every direction, much of it spurred by Federal edict or conditions placed on funding to build roads or other infrastructure, but some of it from as far away as the UN with its Agenda 21. We ceded no Rights to any international body, as such would be folly indeed, nor did we give our permission for our servants to do so.
We have seen the transition in my lifetime from kerosene lamps, outhouses, and wood stoves to tyranny based on "sustainability".
We used to be careful what we said because you didn't know who might be listening in on the party line, now you consider toeing the Party Line because you know the government is listening in.
But, even worse, Every April, or every quarter, or every paycheck, we see the resources we could use taken by a government which lies to us and uses those resources to support others or programs which are acting contrary to our interests.
We call or write, and nothing is done, often even no response because our representatives have been co-opted by the Leviathan inside the Beltway.
People we did not elect, and had no say in their employment, daily make new rules for us to live (or not live) by, extending their reach into our bathrooms, light sockets, diet, and every low spot in our yards and fields--and THREATEEN us with fines, loss of property, or incarceration for being stewards of the very resources The Almighty granted us to use.
We are told we will give generously, whether we can reconcile the 'cause' with the teachings of Scripture, whether the edicts we are told we must follow make any sense in even the most contorted of worldviews.
And we are told we are stupid for not admiring the emperor's new clothes when it is obvious to us that he stands naked.
Worse yet, those mass delusions which are used to denigrate our intelligence are used as a basis for yet more regulation and an excuse to deprive us of even more resources ad infinitum.
When the end comes, if there is no peaceful resolution, it will not resemble the American Revolution except, perhaps, at the onset. The denouement will closer resemble The Terror following the French Revolution, as those who have been the oppressors within are ferreted out and their matters resolved.
Yes, the storm is gathering.
These clouds have been building for decades, from the first wisps to the looming supercells of today.
Either our servants who would deem themselves our masters repent and reverse direction, or the storm will break with unimaginable fury.
Announce that "Dancing with the Stars" will not be broadcast anymore. The show will become a pay-per-view
BUMP!
Let's hear it for a Quebec mayor...
Or as the commercial promoting pork says “put some pork on your fork”.......WAY TO GO QUEBEC...MAYOR REFUSES TO REMOVE PORK FROM SCHOOL CANTEEN MENU... EXPLAINS WHYMuslim parents demanded the abolition of pork in all the school canteens of a Montreal suburb. The mayor of the Montreal suburb of Dorval,has refused, and the town clerk sent a note to all parents to explain why...
“Muslims must understand that they have to adapt to Canada and Quebec, its customs, its traditions, its way of life, because that's where they chose to immigrate.The municipality of Dorval was right to refuse any concessions to Islam and Sharia.
-- “They must understand that they have to integrate and learn to live in Quebec.
-- “They must understand that it is for them to change their lifestyle, not the Canadians who so generously welcomed them.
-- “They must understand that Canadians are neither racist nor xenophobic, they accepted many immigrants before Muslims (whereas the reverse is not true, in that Muslim states do not accept non-Muslim immigrants).
-- “That no more than other nations, Canadians are not willing to give up their identity, their culture.
-- “And if Canada is a land of welcome, it's not the Mayor of Dorval who welcomes foreigners, but the Canadian-Quebecois people as a whole.
-- “Finally, they must understand that in Canada (Quebec) with its Judeo-Christian roots, Christmas trees, churches and religious festivals, religion must remain in the private domain.
-- “For Muslims who disagree with secularism and do not feel comfortable in Canada, there are 57 beautiful Muslim countries in the world, most of them under-populated and ready to receive them with open halal arms in accordance with Shariah.
-- “If you left your country for Canada, and not for other Muslim countries, it is because you have considered that life is better in Canada than elsewhere.
-- “Ask yourself the question, just once, “Why is it better here in Canada than where you come from?”
-- “A canteen with pork is part of the answer.”
