Ping!

One can only hope...
What a coincidence!
Just last night, I told one of my music students the “Eroica” Story. She had just seen “Les Miz” and was curious about that era in history.
I told her the story to illustrate how we often idolize leaders and then they prove to have feet of clay.
Great article as usual!
Thank you for your faithful postings!
:-)
Great article.
There’s a tidal wave of revolutionary talk out there as of late. I think the sobering reality of another 4 years of Barack Hussein Obama, the Marxist faggot, is starting to become clear in the minds of many freedom-loving Americans.
Most of us are in our fox holes, looking across a vast cultural wasteland, our rifles pointed down range waiting for the first wave of attacks from this Communist Manchurian candidate. Next Monday is his coronation day. He knows that he has another 4 years to destroy this country, but I don’t believe he’s going to wait that long. He knows that the Obamacare taxes and the really massive social programs will start turning in 2014, and that, he’s likely certain, will breed discontent among the masses who are forced to fork over even more money every paycheck or risk being imprisoned.
It’s getting to the point, folks, where an upper-middle-class salary doesn’t mean anything to anyone anymore. It’s getting to the point that “Going Galt” has true, real meaning to people who don’t want to get mixed up with the Obamacare juggernaut.
How many of you would truly stand on your porch, shotgun under your arm, watching for the tax man to show up with a bill demanding payment for medical care you never received for a program you never intend to use?
How many of you would answer the sound of a battering ram at your door at 2 in the morning with the report of a shotgun or a defensive weapon barking back at the gestapo?
How many of you would hide in an attic for months on end, clutching your Bibles and your rifles in the hope that “it will all be over soon?”
Well, it won’t be, and this article proves to us that it will require the tired, weary masses to rise up against the juggernaut that our Federal government has become. It will require an exhausting amount of effort and money. And most sobering: it might cost you your life. But is it all worth it in the end? Only if you’re willing to give it everything and to teach your children, your grandchildren, your friends, your family, your neighbors that America is still great and the idea of individual responsibility can be profitable for everyone involved.
It will require a string of Henry Bowman moments to spark outrage and fear among our “leaders.” It’s only after that, only after the goon squads fill our neighborhoods and attempt to turn our streets into prisons, that we will need to ask, “Are you ready to fire at the first wave coming across that cultural wasteland? Or are you too concerned about your money, your car, your home, and your precious nothings?”
Remember, those things can be taken away by force. You have the right to defend your life to the death, regardless if the government says otherwise.
Thanks for the Post, very well explained.
“You have the right to defend your life to the death...”
I’m stealing that. :)
“Revolutions are not easy, until they begin rolling, and then it seems in retrospect as if they were always inevitable, the way that big things are. It is that explosion of kinetic energy born out of the potential energy of large numbers of people discovering their strength that fills the air with energy. That ionization is what most people associate with freedom, with the inevitable collapse of an old order and the rise of a new order.”
The Founders said it. WE THE PEOPLE.
They didn’t ask how old you are, where you live, what color or ethnicity you are, what weapons you hold, how much money you have, what religion you practice, (or even IF you practice.)
WE THE PEOPLE. We either fight for the rights that the Laws of Nature and Nature’s G-d gave us, or we die and the nation dies with us. Freedom dies with us. The Constitution dies with us.
There are no more illusions. We SEE who our true enemies are. They are already killing us day by day in ways large and small, rhetorically and literally. When we sleep, they are the stuff of nightmares, and when we are awake, we see that our nightmares have not confined themselves to dreams from which we can awaken.
Feel free. It's an honest statement.
It’s a daily nightmare, Mesta. I completely agree. It’s that same recurring nightmare you have with the same talking points, the same events, and when you awake, a profound sense of deja vu overcomes you.
If anything, it’s taught me to treasure small things, to take in what you can enjoy. For me, it’s the woody taste of a good cigar or a cup of hot coffee on a winter morning.
It’s the deep bluish-green color of the grass when the last rays of the setting sun bounce orange off storm clouds in the distance.
It’s that brisk winter air that fills your lungs as you look skyward at a glorious morning sky full of stars.
We have to take the time to notice these little things or the “big” things around us will consume our minds in a way that the nightmare of deja vu makes us remember all of the negatives around us every hour of everyday.

I have enjoyed reading Daniel’s work for the last several months. He is one of the most observent writers of our time.
