The time and place for the battle is also when we’re shopping. We need to avoid enriching leftist supporting companies and media to the best of our ability. Stop making our enemies rich, even if it means having to find alternatives or doing without.
Do without? What do you mean, do without? Lol. I've worked too darn hard so that I could buy this outrageous house for the wife and kids with a giant mortgage on it, and I got me a pavement princess, lifted pickup with "We the People" in fancy lettering in the back window to keep fueled.
And don't even get me started about making the wifey "do without". Pffft. You crazy or something? Shoot, I make it a little cooler in the winter or warmer in the summer to cut down on the electric bill, she's packing the kids up and heading to her mom & dads and A/C! And believe me, them clothes she packing for the kids weren't cheap. Can't cut back on the grocery bill for the same reasons.
I sure as heck ain't gonna "do without" the credit cards I use to finance all my reloading equipment and plate carriers and accessories for my kickbutt airsoft collection. We all gotta have hobbies, right? And with the way the economy is, I already gotta do without plenty to make sure I got enough dough left over to gas up the boat and RV for the upcoming holiday weekend. If I'm lucky, I'll have enough cash to buy some booze to watch the "Big Game" on that new flat screen TV my COVID stimmy paid for.
Do without...sheesh! Shut up and go to work so you can pay off more of my student loans.
(Hopefully I don't need a sarcasm tag for the above)
The truth is, the Founders gave us a way to change out the government without ever firing a shot or spilling a drop of blood. We always focus on the "Life, Liberty & Pursuit of Happiness" part, but seem to forget the very next line:
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
We consent to the crooked Federal Reserve System every time we give or receive the fiat currency of that system. To stop consenting would be to stop using the very form of trade that is acceptable worldwide. There goes our ability to pay for all that cool stuff we got on credit cards/mortgages/car loans.
We consent to the destruction of our 2A rights every time we walk into a gun store and submit to unConstitutional background checks. If we stop consenting, we either stop buying firearms or become outlaws. I remember back in the 90's, there was a popular saying, "When guns are outlawed, I will be an outlaw" or "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Over the last 30 years, I've come to notice that was just a cool thing to say. Can't actually be outlaws, though.
The freedom we were once privileged to have and that was to be handed down to posterity has been gone a long time. We, as a Nation, have accepted peaceful slavery over dangerous freedom. We've turned over all the responsibility to government or private enterprise. We didn't keep the Republic.
