The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independant 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The only blood that’s being spilled is patriots’.
What the powers that be have been doing to U.S. is unforgivable and a million times worse than what the British were doing before 1776.
So far.
So tired of hearing the blah-blah-blah about the Tree of Liberty. Until someone on our side loses their fear of “getting in trouble” or being banned on Twitter / Facebook, and does something other than post comments on Internet message boards, that’s all it is.
I’ve seen this 50 times the past month.
If you feel that way, then act.
You people that post it don’t need our approval
I’ve seen This and quotes from military people in history.
If one feels this is the way to go, then organize locally and decide. once you are organized, what you want to do next.
This isn’t the place to discuss details but what’s MOST likely to happen is we’ll all be here typing for FOUR years.
The destroying of statues was HUGE!!
The south’s history was being erased.
And no one went to protect them.
The southerners and midwest folks like to make fun of the northerners.
Well at least Italians grabbed baseball bats and a few had guns and they protected the Columbus Statues.
Anyone who’s been on this board often the past month knows The Tree of Liberty quote by heart.
Either do. Or don’t.
That’s it at this point.
Yep talk is cheap
Yes. Thus far there have been Repub Senators assaulted and put in the hospital, accosted on the street by angry mobs, had their houses besieged by a violent mob, Repub representatives have been shot and unarmed Trump supporters have been shot down in the street. Not a single Dem politician has even had to face a single hostile interview, let alone force. The left are the thugs yet they accuse us of it. I am so fed up with the lies.
Very true. Time to spill tyrant blood.
Our forefathers would be shooting by this time.
The handwringing even on FR about yesterday’s occupation of the People’s House, shows how even most conservatives don’t understand the gravity of what occurred in the past two months.
Not just a stolen presidency, but at least 4 Senate seats and enough House races to have turned over the House. All this with a sitting Republican President, Republican controlled Senate, a DOJ lead by a Republican appointee, smoking gun video evidence of blatant, orchestrated voter fraud, and a US Supreme Court that supposedly had 5 solid constitutionalists.
Anyone who thinks that America can be saved by waiting for the next election is not paying attention. A government that is now totally controlled by Democrats, who know the courts will do nothing to stop them, can now rig the system to turn states such as Ohio, Texas, Florida. Republicans will NEVER win another Presidential election, and will NEVER retake the House or Senate. You are now permanently a one-party state, with a President who is completely compromised by Communist China, with the full support of the corporate traitors on Wall Street, the Deep State, the Military brass, MSM and Big Tech.
The Republic has fallen.
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants...”
Truer words have never been spoken, that young woman who was brutally murdered in the “people’s house” will be remembered as a martyr. The protesters exercised their 1st amendment rights, which we still have, although under attack. We are on the cusp of being a full scale banana republic. When a free and fair election is taken from us, when the courts refuse to exercise their sworn duty, when the FBI, and CIA become an outlet to persecute and frame individuals, when the politicians bring false charges to remove a duly elected President, etc. We are a banana republic. There will be more protests and God willing they will be successful. We are seeing so called conservatives politicians cow towing to gain favor with the commie left blasting the President, a pox on their house. Remember, the the Revolutuionary War, only 30% supported Washington, 30% the King, and 30% supported no one. God bless those who protest the high jacking of our democracy.
The republic suffered a fatal blow when SCOTUS refused to do their job... in 2007 with Berg vs. Obama. This is just the secondary convulsion of its death throes.
“So America gets what America deserves — the destruction of its constitution” ~ Leo Donofrio, 6/1/09
Correct. And I might add, the next “election” will be nothing more than window dressing, as they are in all dictatorships.
Wrong target: the hardened and ruthless Washington constabulary.
Better focus: the soft-bellied, coddled sell-outs in the media.
Don’t worry. Things are happening fast.
The Republic has fallen.
From within
Are you advocating the violent overthrow of the US? Or the killing of politicians?
“The Republic has fallen.”
If you think this is the first time a presidential election had a corrupt outcome, you are not a student of history.
“The south’s history was being erased.”
The history will be erased when there are no generations to remember it; if southerners breed, their history lives on.
“Well at least Italians grabbed baseball bats and a few had guns and they protected the Columbus Statues.”
Much more importantly, a lot of Italians still breed. The tribe of Columbus had grown enough to protect his legacy.
