Paducah TX.The 32 delegates sat in a smal room around regular tables on metal folding chairs drinking from paper cups from jugs of sweet iced tea and bottles of soda. The speaker stood at the center where a small stage, hastily built from bricks and plywood sat in a clearing.
"... as we face the final days of our lives I would like to say I am proud of what I have done. I am proud to be giving my life for the ideals of freedom and liberty. I know we all are, even if we are frightened. Thank You" he finished before taking his seat at the table with a small cardboard sign reading Cottle County.
Another man stood up from the table marked King County and walked onto the platform. He looked at down at the sheet of paper in his hand and began his statement.
"Let me begin by addressing those watching on the webcam all over the world. Especially to those within the government of the United States.
"I realize that our ideas and our beliefs are not shared by you or maybe even a majority of Americans, but we used to believe that minorities had rights too. We used to believe that freedom of thought, opinion, speech and assembly and expression were important.
"Now I stand here for the last time, giving possibly my last breathe to beseech the American people to search their souls and ask themselves if this is really what they want to do. Is this really the right thing?
"For it is murder. Not just the murder of thousands of innocent people condemn for a desire to be free of oppression, but the murder of liberty itself. As your tanks ram through the day care centers, schools and churches of these counties, know that you are on the side of evil. You might just be pawns and bit players but it will condemn your souls.
"Let my people go Mr President. Let us remain free peoples America. Let us all stand together united in freedom under the Constitution once again!
He muttered a "thank you" as he stepped off the stage and returned to his seat.
"I call this meeting to order now that our opening speeches are completed. Of course there is only one real question we must vote on. The same as the last several meetings. Should we surrender?" said a man who stood behind a table marked Borden County.
The 32 men and women took turns and the result was a vote of 32-0 against a surrender.
"Well I suppose thats that then" said the man who was standing and acting as Moderator. "It has been a pleasure meeting you, knowing you, fighting beside you and now dying with you. This meeting is hereby closed".
US Army and National Guard tanks and other vehicles began moving again toward the small town of Paducah. The attack helicopters flew in advance and began strafing homes and barns they encountered.The US military encountered sporadic resistance here and there from the Citizens Defense Leagues. These were usually very easily dispatched by aerial attack or bombardment from tanks and artillery from a distance.
Soon the 8-county area was a large battlefield. The outcome was pretty much a certainty.
These were the final holdouts after the government of the US had turned to tyranny. These counties had tried to become their own country as a last resort.
So this is how freedom dies. Under the treads of tanks.
The whole state of Texas are nothing at all.
That’s why the people in your “story” get mowed down. We must all speak as one.
Dude I gave you a link. Check it out for yourself.
?What say you to the above question, my friend? :^)
It would only take several thousand people to be able to turn them into an experiment in liberty. Several thousand people could have their own weekly newspaper and maybe a radio station.
Include Runnels, Coleman, Hamilton, Coryell counties. (about half of Coryell is Ft. Hood)
I think they should have quickly withdrawn to Chalk to make their last stand. The Fell Air Force of Paducah should be involved somehow... Long live Corky Fell!
I just got off the phone with my Congresscritter's office. The nice young man told me that I was not the first person to mention pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers today.
In fact he said they'd had 'thousands' of similar calls using just those words.
A hard rain is gonna fall.
their forum has 1440 members. whatever that means
Texas is about to get swamped by illegals who are suddenly citizens. That is how freedom dies. When Americans refuse to become socialist, they have to import them.
we are already getting swamped. I wish there was a conservative GOP party in this country, they would have done a lot better in Nov than the moderate GOP did.

Need a report like that for these 8 or so counties.
Notice I never said Loving County. Talk about a bleak and harsh place to love! It would probably take a couple dozen adults to take over the county electorally but who would want to live there?
how about a Texas ping list?
pretty please?

I live in NH.
The “Free Staters” stand with us against the gun-grabbers and against the tax raisers, and against the state-funded church of humanism, AKA public-schools.
But the Problem with the “Free Staters” is that they don’t see “Genderless Bathrooms” and “Genderless Marriage” as a threat to their rights.
They will be in for a very unpleasant surprise when they get brought before the NH Human Rights Commission, which already exists (!), tried without a jury, fined into poverty, and imprisoned, if they ever say anything to offend one of the 72 genders mentioned in arguments before the NH Legislature.
No one said it would be easy.
“I realize that our ideas and our beliefs are not shared by you or maybe even a majority of Americans, but we used to believe that minorities had rights too. We used to believe that freedom of thought, opinion, speech and assembly and expression were important.”
Don’t underestimate the wisdom of the American People. The people may have been stampeded by the press into electing Obama and a Democratic Congress, but they are very quickly developing buyers remorse. E.g.:

If we could get even a scintilla of leadership from Conservative Politicians (and there are a few left, last I checked), we will have the Obamaites in full retreat by fall. Look how fast Zeros disapproval ratings have risen in just 100 days. AND THAT WAS THE HONEYMOON! We are not looking at the Apocalypse: the mass of the American People would not allow it. We could be lokking at the second Reagan Revolution, though . . .
If we could find another Reagan.
that was a typo... I mean place to live... lol
These idiots have no idea what they’re getting into. And when they do figure it out, they’re going to do something massively stupid.
I won’t strike on the first match. Or the second. But on the third...
Don't quit your day job.
gee thanks. especially since I’m unemployed. I have submitted a couple of short stories this week though.
That's why in my new book, the president has to bring in foreign "peace keepers" to do the dirty work.
