This shows it ain't gonna happen. Sit behind your keyboard and be as tough as hell but when the metal hits the road you will fold.
This country is what it is in 2016, divided roughly 50/50 on every political issue and 85/15 on people even bother to care.
You've convinced you are a “Patriot” and your buddies will back you up ..you're wrong. They will end up dead or left to rot in some prison, cuz friend, there just aren't many of them.
Really, if you want to live by your interpretation of the Constitution instead of what the 9 Justice's who have been saying what it is since 1802 its not going to happen. Your keyboard longing for CWIII or revolution not going to happen either and could get you killed in the real world.
Hate to say it but if anyone think’s they are so put upon by the federal government that their lives are intolerable then they should leave. There are lots of 3rd world countries out there that will let you live your life any way you want as long as you have a few bucks.
I know the response of many here will be: eg.. BS, I grew up here, I will fight to the bitter end .. whatever...the point is we have lost. There is no revolution or CW3 on the horizon or coming as long as any of us are still alive.
Again I'd say get the hell out if you cant handle the USA
Are you sure about that?
I disagree. There will be a Revolution but it won’t look like what we expect. The time and circumstances aren’t right yet.
“We have lost” ?
Who’s we? I’ll put your negativism down to depression over the way this action ended but despite your public despair, I’d like to remind you of a few things. You may be able to make the argument that the action of the occupiers was wrong headed but you cannot deny their courage. At least they got off their ass and TRIED to do something. You may also state that perhaps they were crude, naive and wrongheaded but their hearts were in the right place and it’s shameful to see how little public support they received, even on Free Republic. They were also doing what the “lousy bastards” (as Major Pitcairn addressed them) on Lexington Green did - making a stand for the sake of liberty and self-determination. Every excuse being used by the government and the occupier’s critics is exactly what was said about Captain Parker’s men - they chose to be there, they were looking for a fight, they were disloyal, they didn’t obey the law. But today they are considered the original heroes of the greatest political revolution in history.
Our present government has grown as corrupt, over-bearing and arrogant as the British were after the French and Indian war. What’s to be done? Should we just lie down and submit, later to dream of the freedoms we once had that we let slip away by “obeying the law?” No - that course and your recommended action of leaving the country if we don’t like it will never be palatable to a people with our history. I hope that someday these men of the Oregon occupation will be held in as high esteem as the Minutemen were and perhaps someone will write a new poem with the phrase “Here once the embattled RANCHERS stood, and fired the shot heard round the world!”
