“Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers

Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty.

acquiescence is how the republicans let the dems control..across the aisle.. my good friend... but the dems were not giving...they are takers.

so all want to be seen as cooperative and nice.. as my son said to a man who tried to take advantage...”you mistakenly took kindness for weakness”.

I hear others say on TV... this is not who we are... violence is no answer.

I saw the left destroy, burn, and create violence all summer.. and i heard the left say it was peaceful...the hypocrisy is blatant and causes more violence

After what the dems and media did to my President for 4+ yrs..I’m not in a charitable mood. I want them to be taken to the cleaners.. and stop pretending we are weak and non violent 70 million out here who can be controlled... if we hit the left hard, the would be on the tube telling the world we are not like that..and they’d be on us in a fast minute... but we are supposed to be nice and take it

I want a strong party... tired of lazy repubs reaching across the aisle.
Trump had grit..he worked hard.. they spent 4 years trying to break him.. they failed.. even in this they had to use all the bad they could conjure up...

and I’m not in an acquiescent mood.

Some comments I’ve copied from other places:

“They’ve got your number, and they know you better than you know yourself.” - Bill Whittle - 1/6/2020

“Saul Alinksy knew that conservatives have a moral code. One of the rules in his Rules For Radicals states ‘Make the other side live up to their own moral code.’ This implies that radicals have no moral code and therefor aren’t bound by one. Liberals have always been willing to use our own innate goodness against us.”

“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” -Frank Herbert, Dune

“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” -Frank Herbert, Dune

“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” -Frank Herbert, Dune

“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” -Frank Herbert, Dune

“When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.” -Frank Herbert, Dune

“They are exercising their worst intentions by exploiting your best intentions.”

“SCOTUS straight up told us that there is no rule of law in America anymore when they refused to hear a lawsuit in between states; you know, their entire reason of being.”

How long will it be until one of these Islamic terror group decides to send in a well dressed bomber into the capitol building.

After seeing the poor security for the event on 1-6-2021 it won’t be difficult or long.

I’m not looking forward to it but bad choices create bad situations.

A communist operative who is a known criminal was elected President illegally.We’re screwed.

If you have children,don’t let them join the military now.
