We’ve been feeding the gop-e carrots long enough, time to swing the cudgel.
If you don't have that kind of position, think of the origins of the term 'sabotage'. Workers threw their shoes into machines and stopped the machine. Don't do anything illegal. Don't do anything that will get you fired.
But if you have the opportunity to make a liberal program work badly, if you have a legal way to put more stress on it, to tie up the energy and time of the people running it, to make it worse... do it.
We're the underdogs. We're the political guerrillas. This is not our system. It's their system.
Our job is to make it run as badly as possible.
We have a plan... this is the plan...
Greenfield answers some of your questions from your post. I believe you’re both right. We need to think and plan and act better. We need simple, well articulated goals and we need to get into the OODA loop of the enemy.
From the very beginning of our country there were those who opposed our freedom, wanted to be (stay) British citizens. Likewise, from early Christianity there were those who wanted to keep the Levitical law of the Jews, made them feel that they were better than the rest.
There is always an element that wants to change or tear down that which is good, honorable, godly. Since the Garden, there has been a desire of Satan to thwart God’s will on earth, and even though he seems to be winning, those who are his minions will soon find out the terrible truth. I have prayed all my life that this day would not come to America, but look at what we’ve become as a people. Apathetic, ungodly, perverse, filling our idle time with the same. We have allowed ourselves to be entertained to death. Sports, games, community things, all to keep us busy and off our knees. It has worked. People don’t have time for church, prayer, reading their Bibles, etc. Hence, when these pollsters come along, they rightly discern that America has come far away from its Biblical roots the founding fathers so diligently laid for us. We cannot recognize the Truth any longer, but are deceived into believing the half-truth, like Satan tempted Eve with in the Garden. People fall for what sounds right instead of what IS right. Don’t know the difference any longer.
We can lament our situation all day long, and we can try to do as this author suggested, but the power this admin has created for itself and the government will not be stopped or slowed. We will be arrestedIf we as a people do NOT repent, we will waste all efforts to stall and break this government’s back. Only God can do it, not ourselves. If we refuse to repent and call on Him, we will waste a lot of human effort. Even if we do repent, it is not going to be an easy task, so let’s start where we need to, and we will get the best results. Prayer, repentance for our own apathy, and then asking Him how we can best be doing the work that lies ahead. Unfortunately, the Enemy will have made some resistant to helping, feeling that nothing can be done.
Another aspect is this: All of Scripture warns of how things will be at the end of time. Personally, I believe we are there. Israel has been in the land now for 67 years, she has Jerusalem as her capitol, even if the rest of the world refuses to recognize it. And...the generation that “saw” this some to pass is close to passing away, age-wise. Scripture says that THIS generation will NOT pass away before the end comes. We can continue the fight and we should, but we must always remember that God’s timing and purposes will be accomplished according to His own plans. We best be in the Word, getting ready by understanding the times we live in so we can be prepared for what is coming...persecution like there has never been before.
This might be plan B. It shouldn’t be plan A as it effectively destroys the nation to destroy the corrupt ruling class. That will only encourage the police state. The Left is already sabotaging this country. Why contribute to the decline?
Plan A should be millions of protesting Americans flooding the streets of Washington, DC., making life miserable for politicians, lobbyists, & bureaucrats in their homes & offices. Put the city in gridlock & keep it that way until we see a multitude of resignations - Boehner & McConnell would be a good start.
Mass, protracted protest has always effected political change, From Kent State to Poland & around the world.
And if you think protesting is beneath you, sabotage is even more degrading.
Which is better: Contributing to the rapid decline of America, or making WDC feel your pain.
Civil war 2 or Revolution, whatever you call it, is clearly inevitable. There are some, who will not simply comply to the tyrants.
I just have some tiny bones to pick, with regard to mentioning the Revolution War.
It is only appropriate IF (the big IF) TEHY, rest of the world, will let us fight it out ourselves. That we don’t have more emerging crisis/crises OTHERS want to do us harm and do us in.
The only way to fix this is to let it wreck first.
Trying to fix Obamacare is helping the Marxists.
I think it’s about time that all us Producers start playing the same Game that the Takers and the Illegal Invaders Play.
I have never received one dime in Federal Assistance in my 61 Years on this Earth. All I have done my entire Life is Work hard, Pay my Taxes and Vote.
Well, none of those activities has paid off much for us. We are all part of the new Direct Democracy which is the Liberal Term for being oppressed by the Tyrannical Majority.
The Protections offered by our Constitutional Representative Government are wiped clean by a Majority of Tyrannical SCOTUS Judges and the People just shrug their Shoulders.
Of course the Electorate made this possible, but their concern lies in waiting for the latest Version of the iPhone to be released. They can’t be bothered by the Constitution being torn to shreds in plain sight.
I have yet to get my first SS Check, deciding to Apply on my 62nd Birthday due to my failing Health. I figured I would get back some of the $250,000 I have paid in over my Working Career and it would help cover most of my escalating Obamacare fueled Healthcare Premiums.
Funny, even though I turn 62 the end of July, I won’t get my first SS Check until the end of September, They have that all figured out. The money saved by SS can help cover the increased SS Costs due to the Gay Marriage Ruling.
Since Obamacare “is woven into the Fabric of our Society”, I guess I’ll look into participating in it next Year. The trick of course is to keep our Income low enough to qualify for a Subsidy, and we will be sure to get a Plan that is closest to what we have today. It should save us about $700 a Month, which is what I have been paying in additional Premiums since Obamacare screwed up my previous Insurance.
We will engage in a purposeful reduction of Productivity that will decrease our overall Earnings to meet the Criteria set by our Political Masters.
Next, I will look into every Government Assistance Program known to the Slackers to see if our Family will Qualify due to our reduced Income levels. I’m sure Amazon has a Book for Sale that will help, “Getting FREE Government Stuff for Dummies”, it’s probably a big seller.
You never know, we could be the People standing in front of any of you buying T-Bone Steaks using an EBT Card. LOL
I have pretty much every Material Possession I could use, so why work hard anymore? According to the SCOTUS, we are all owed a Living anyway.
We played by the Rules and we got screwed over for it. We have no Political Representation and we have a Presidential Administration that revels in sticking our Noses into every Win they accomplish. You know, like a Rainbow Colored White House.
It’s time to Bankrupt the Liberal Utopia Machine by giving them what they want, a Nation of Dependents. Time to force feed them their own Medicine.
Even though we will be cutting back, our Monthly Contribution to Free Republic will continue unabated.

Quick tip of the hat to HG, because without him on the thread I never would have read the article.
Felt it was that good and important!
interesting
