If you own a firearm and/or believe in freedom and liberty, you are a citizen soldier.

I am not a tinfoil wearing, black helicopter watching paranoid type. I am not a member of an organized “militia group” that sits around and bitches about the government and calls every other person Colonel. I do not advocate the overthrow of the US Government, armed insurrection, racism or any illegal activity. I am a member of “the militia” only in the sense that the founding fathers meant it, to include every single able-bodied man.

I am not going to discuss politics or conspiracy theories on this website. I assume that, if you are reading it, you have your own reasons to do so. I’m not recruiting. I have found that there is a lack of pages with this type of content. Some of those that are out there have a lot of misleading stuff, cut and pastes or space wasted on simple opinion. I’m not going to discuss AR vs AK or 9mm vs 45. The state of manhood in this country, and the lack appreciation for our nation’s history, appalls me. I feel that if 10% of taxpaying Americans took half of what I’m writing about seriously then we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.

Why is that website out of a Portuguese island?

Just checking, I know is a good thing to stay under the radar, but one must ask.

Adversity employs great talents; prosperity renders them useless and carries the inept, the corrupted wealthy and the wicked to the top

May they bear in mind that virtue often contains the seeds of tyranny

May they bear in mind that it is neither gold nor even a multitude of arms that sustains a state but its morals

May each of them keep in his house, in a corner of this field, next to his workbench, next to his plow, his gun, his sword, and his bayonet

May they all be soldiers

May they bear in mind that in circumstances where deliberation is possible, the advice of old men is good but that in moments of crisis youth is generally better informed that its elders

Apostrophe to the Insurgents, 1782

I understand the initiative. Somehow, though... those of us of like mind need to figure out ways to communicate when the time comes. Ways to identify each other in a crowd. Ways to know safe houses, and such. So much to discuss, and no way to yet do it.

[elpinta]

What you said.

“The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — Thomas Jefferson

An armed citizenry worked for the Swiss.

The last Presidential election proved how well informed “youth” was.

On the other hand, the French revolution turned out soooo well .....

[grcuster]

I totally agree.

Your points are valid and have been pointed out here before. You notice I put in larger type the line I thought most accurate. About Morals determining the survival of a nation.

Like most things it depends on "which" set of youth you look at. Technologically they are superior today, but when it comes to judgement that is another matter. Although I know some really sharp young people. And it makes a difference whether the young people are urban or rural. Rural citizens generally lead a life more connected to reality. But then came along television and blew that away. I think that the web in some cases is reasserting perspective to some young people. The web is interactive not passive absorption like TV.

[Texas Fossil]

As far as the French Revolution is concerned, the outcome was an embarassment to our founders. They had high hopes that something as good as we accomplished would be the outcome.

It was not.

I personally think that Moral and Religious principles were the missing element. Religious persecution in France had been a horror for centuries, that unwound in the French Revolution. As far as Morality, it was less common in France. Before and after the Revolution.

Street rabble ran the French Revolution and a educated propertied business class was behind the American Revolution. Along with the heritage of English law, not French corruption.

Very hard to do in the current environment. This is now a country with many traitors.

[ArmyTeach]

I support the citizen soldier idea, but beware ... here in Our Town we have a young man who ran for state legislature from our district last election cycle. He lost, but has since started a flourishing ‘second amendment coalition.’ I would like to support it also but it has become a little flaky and rather gone off the deep end. Now this young man is seriously in trouble with the law - once for domestic abuse and another for interfering with police who were responding to a possible home intrusion call and were doing a quick walk-through of the house to make sure everything was ok. The resident had second thoughts and called the coalition phone tree and our boy appeared with his pistol and bulletproof vest.Got in the face of the police. Inflated ego overcomes common sense.

[GregoTX]

“The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the “high powers” delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.’ A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power.” [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)]

[Bean Counter]

You will know when the time comes, and your responsibility right now is to be sure that when the muster is called you show up with something besides your dick in your hand.

Arm yourself and practice, practice, practice.

[Ramius]

Been doing that.

[GladesGuru]

Might I point out that my experience has been that the determining factor is not urban or rural, but acculturated as a citizen of the American Republic or not.

PS Home schooled are usually the best students, Americans, self regulating citizens.
