witters favorite large adult son, Donald Trump Jr., produced one of his most thought-provoking self-owns earlier this month, when he attempted to impugn the patriotism of the Democratic women of Congress. On February 6, Trump tweeted a postState of the Union photo of a white-clad group of congresswomen huddled around Nancy Pelosi with the superimposed caption NOT ONE AMERICAN FLAG PIN AMONG THEM. Ironically, Trump also wrote that the photo speaks for itself and no one is at all surprised.
At the top of his replies, above the cracks about the Trump familys preference for Russian flags or the gallery of Republican politicians wearing flag pins in mugshots, were a pair of photos from that same SOTU. One was of the Trump children. The other was a crowd shot of the Republican side of the speech audience. Not a flag pin in sight in either picture.

“...impugn the patriotism of the Democratic women of Congress. ...”
“Patriotisn” and Democrat” can never be used in the same sentence, anywhere near each other.
Unfortunately for them, there is a substantial video and audio archive of their subversive and treasonous escapades. There will be no escape for them - and no mercy shown.
One of the major purposes of Free Republic is revealing what the other side is thinking.
How are we supposed to respond to them if we don’t know what they’re saying?
Kill a commie for your Mommy.
When CWII goes hot, where will the shooting begin and under what circumstances? Not being snarky, I’m like millions of patriots either armed or prepped, wondering how all our resources, weapons, & skills will be put to use in the cause of Liberty.
Guns are being confiscated under Red Flag but only on an individual basis. Mass seizures as in Venezuela are possible only if guns are already registered and there is huge resistance in blue states requiring such. Congress could go rogue & pass a national registration law but I doubt that and even if they did, citizens would mass respond, “Fine, now try to enforce it without searching every home in America”.
For some history, google the original gun control act of 1968. Sure, we hate having to buy through FFLs instead of direct mail, but the original bill called for national registration of guns AND Federal licensing of owners. Lyndon Johnson was seething with rage when those two measures were not in the final bill; you can feel the anger in his remarks when he signed it. I was angry too; there went my chance to acquire a genuine Walther PPK as it was now banned under new import criteria.
Back to my original question, it seems to me that for now, not being in the wrong place at the wrong time and removing political decals from one’s vehicle are the best ways to avoid danger from the Left. But sooner or later they will try to reach out and hurt someone.
Any ideas on what form that could take?
Any ideas on what form that could take?
Lots and all of them very, very ugly.

Just look at the pictures from Syria...
As for the ppk, Walther is starting up production in the USA, huzzah.
If there was such a conflict, it will start in a so-called blue state. We are not all blue and there is a lot more to resent being Dem from top to bottom. Red states have it easy.
Justin. Why don’t you “share” with us why YOU think the Amerian Flag pins are “stupid”. You can wear your Che T-shirt during the explanation. Your mommy can help you compose your explanation. I understand big words over three letters are hard.
“You will have your eyes opened, and you will never hope for another civil war here in the US, for as long as you live.”
Point taken; no sane person wants civil war, and thank you for your service in war-torn areas.
But pressure is building to transform this nation in an unhealthy direction. Democrats want open borders to flood us with new Democrat voters from alien or even hostile cultures. They want to change our political culture and society. They want us all disarmed. And if we voted for Donald Trump, then IMO they hate us and want us dead (only half joking).
The catch is that their capabilities don’t match their intentions, not yet. But when states start flipping blue one after the other due to illegal immigration and there are not one but many Ihlan Omars in Congress, our democracy is in danger. What do we do? I’m looking for answers; though research tells me that “they” lack the sheer state power to “seize all the guns and put Trump voters in reeducation camps” (often heard on FR), it’s still worrisome.
I was in the military, too; early on I learned to write a five paragraph field order: situation, enemy forces, friendly forces, mission, concept of operations, logistical support, and command & signal.
Now...take those and apply them to the “mission” of confiscation. Let me have some fun with this:
Situation: Too many citizens own too many guns.
Enemy forces: Any NRA member, Trump supporter, and/or white male who possesses unregistered guns.
Friendly forces: Progressives in media, academia, & government backed by local, state, Federal law enforcement, and the U.S. military (posse commitatus be d@mned).
Mission: the complete removal of all firearms from private hands.
Concept of the operation: I HAVEN’T A CLUE! Do you?
Logistics and command & signal: Federalization of all state militias and headquartered in....the Pentagon? FBI HQ? The White House?
I’m trying to go beyond wild generalizations like “Nobody wants to take away your guns!” to “They’re gonna disarm us and kill us all!!” to some operational specifics. So far I’ve found none from the Left on the internet, just wishful thinking about one party rule for America.
Your insights are welcome, FRiend.
That rationale is so stale that it's crumbled to dust.
We don't have to 'hear' what every left wing maggot in the country is 'thinking' 100 times a day in here.
Such repetitious overkill serves only to depress morale among the faithful and, imho, is very often a practice engaged in by FR trolls on a mission to foment FUD.
Anything with the American flag symbol on it even anything close to it as meaning
it means one thing
freedom
Driving through a couple streets in Manteca California the other day I saw a giant American flags up and down city blocks - whole city blocks- it was incredible to see made me feel happy
My wife do you know is a Democrat but I said to her isnt in this country great? and she thinks this country is great
as long as you think this country is great then youre not a liberal or leftist or communist or socialist
Here is where our great President Donald J Trump is spot on
“We are not all blue and there is a lot more to resent being Dem from top to bottom [in blue states].”
I think you nailed it. A lot more to resent in blue states because the culture agitates people to be angry, resentful, and “woke”.
You are right about red states. I live in a tranquil corner of the South where the horrors of Portland, San Francisco, and New York City might as well be on another planet. And we’re not a border state which helps even more.
Matt Bracken personally advised me on FR to maintain a low profile, form a small association of trusted patriots for range time & sharing of ideas, avoid the named militias, and remain situationally aware.
I hope we can continue to discuss specific & realistic concepts of the near future.
Trump in 2020!
“There are some things Democrats are proud of... :
Kissing up to anyone else who hates America and wants to bring America down to a 3rd world dictatorship.
I understand that Vice is dying out - and not a moment too soon.....
Tell you what -
When the time comes - and it will come despite your condescending protestations - you can sit at home, “praying” and doing your “Christian” missionary thing, while the rest of us do what we must to save this country from becoming a atheistic communist hell.
In case you have not paid much attention, the leftists and atheists are conquering the culture, disassembling the Constitution, and gaining ground against civil society every day. They are winning exactly because people like you wish peace at any cost. People like you, who refuse to stop them in their conquest, but rather always choose to attack those of us who, while not wanting a civil war, nevertheless understand full well the consequences of both committing to a armed resistance, and sitting complacently on our asses, wishing things were different.
Save your holier-than-thou bullsh*t for the pagans - the abortionists, the communists, the sodomites, etc., who are rapidly destroying this nation that you claim to love. Perhaps they’ll give you a hearing. More than likely they will laugh you to scorn, and increase their aggressive destruction of our culture just for spite against those of your stripe.
I get you want peace, because you’ve seen war ... OK,
Long ago I called for “peaceful” means to stop the advancement of leftist power: a national tax strike (not filing a federal tax return, and claiming maximum exemptions on the W4 form) in combination with withdrawing all funds from bank accounts, and a national trucking strike to halt all supplies - including, if necessary, a blockade of Washington DC.
Nobody wanted to take on the “risk,” and they mostly gave all the same damned excuses about being jailed or losing their “comforts.” So now, here we are.
You want to count casualties? Here are a few for you to tally:
Now we have: same-sex “marriage;” transgenderism; rampant perversion of every stripe; a epidemic of pornography; unlimited abortion, at 60 million plus and counting; outright infanticide; legalized euthanasia of the elderly, the sick, and the deformed; the constant assault on our children’s innocence, from every imaginable quarter; non-stop assaults upon true marriage, and the persecution and destruction of the nuclear family; divisions being waged along every possible cultural and societal measure, etc., etc.
But you want to lecture me on “Christian values?”
Newsflash, buddy: this country is already “devastated.” Are you blind, as well as deaf and dumb?
I always cringe “when people like you” spew their condescending moral lectures about why we must never lift a finger in anger against the forces that are destroying us; because, God forbid we should ever spill blood to stop evil.
I have nothing against religion, faith, prayer or missionary work, but you, sir, are being nothing more than a patronizing jackass, hiding behind those virtues to put out pseudo moral arguments in the face of real danger.
Thank you for sharing this. This is a side of Nixon we’d never hear about from the mainstream media.
From an organization called Vice?
Yeesh!
