Good read from a simple patriot. Things that we can all do.

I get a lot of grief here in threads about “bad parents” and there is a lot of talk about removing people’s kids.

My response: not my kids. God gave them to that parent and it’s none of my business. God did not give those children to me or the state. Their welfare is the responsibility of the parents, not me or the state.

But then, I’m not a communist or a collectivist.

I was a kid in a time when it seemed most people were strongly against communism. Seems like that’s changed. Lord, come soon.

If things start happening, there will be a few “crazy” people who “cross the line” and “go too far”. These people “handle this all wrong” and all the submissive people will say “tsk tsk tsk — that’s no way to behave”.

If I see a crazy guy go too far, I’ll cheer and see if I can help.

We did all of this, for Trump.

Here was a Caesar! When comes such another?

I was a kid in a time when it seemed most people were strongly against communism.

While San Francisco was emitting hippies, my father worked with the Japanese, against whom he had fought two decades earlier, to try to rid the world of Communist China and its hegemonic desires. At that same time, Joe Biden was getting his JD, ranking among the lowest in his class, and preparing himself to sell out his country to Communist China.

Psalm 139:21-23.

Not a coward.

An American, with a voice, and the will to use it.

Bravo, ma’am. Do not worry.

We have come to ACCEPT the government taking 50% of our hard earned money in taxes.

My dad must be spinning in his grave, seeing the Communists taking over. He fought the Communists in NYC restaurant union. Ironically enough, he was spurred into action after he ran for union President and had the election stolen.

He worked with the FBI (back in the:40’s and 50’s they were a force for good) and people were imprisoned or deported. His fight cost him three years where he was blackballed by the union.

We must all become an “Army of One”.

“ nucleus of resistance to which we can pledge our lives, fortunes, and sacred honors without it being tantamount to suicide.”

As a private citizen, Trump was that nucleus.

Well-written.

I do disagree with this part:

“The Intelligence and Defense establishments of the US exist to secure the rights and liberties of the American people. The US has constructed a vast apparatus to deploy force, subvert or overthrow governments, and disseminate propaganda, but these activities are only legitimate when they are directed OUTWARD. When the geopolitical capabilities of the US government do not act to empower the American people and sustain our Constitution, they are just as criminal as the same actions taken by private citizens.”

The neocons have gone way too far in their intervention in foreign governments.

The issue under discussion is always something sympathetic, something most decent people would like to see fixed: Intergenerational poverty, police brutality, environmental degradation, bigotry, violence. But the solutions modern communists put forward are rarely passive, and they are never liberating. If a problem can be solved by individual action, voluntary charity, by the free market, or by the passage of time, that is never seen as good enough. In fact, nothing that fails to increase the power and control of governments or certain institutions (or to grow the people’s dependence on them) is ever regarded as a solution at all.

She has points worth considering...like the above...

Part of the reason she does not see that nucleus is that the people competent enough to form it don’t usually discuss their plans in public forums or on the internet.

“Army of one”.
Or do what I’ve suggested-find FReepers ,& other like minded people in your area to unite with for support, ideas & strengthening our common goals. We will need each other much sooner than we think. Time seems compressed; there is a quickening in our spirits now. The Reckoning is coming quickly.
Be ready. Fight back. IMO the time for civil disobedience has come. Question is how much are we willing to risk or lose?
Our Forefathers put their lives, sacred honor on the line. Should we risk less!? But today we’re more worried about offending someone. Get over it. Jesus is offensive to most yet we claim His name! Yet we don’t want to share His sufferings. We just all want to be “blessed”. Forgetting that He said “ the world will hate you because of Me”.
Will we stand on the Rock & willingly suffer for His name? Or will we keep like quiet sheeple thinking it will save our jobs & reputation? It won’t!
What’s more important to you (me) ?
Our eternal souls or comfort & wealth?
The tree of liberty is very thirsty Patriots. Let us act so we won’t be the last generation that knew freedom. The cost could be our lives.
Am I ready? Are you?

There are people on this and other sites that are paid to make sure as best they can that people remain complacent, and never actually do anything effective.

If I see a crazy guy go too far, I’ll cheer and see if I can help.

Me too, and I'll cheer every time a government thug at any level, elected or appointed, takes a bullet between the eyes.

If I had access to a tactical nuclear weapon, I'd nuke the District of Criminals during the SOTU address.

Like the Colonists, we have sought to have our grievances addressed. They by the King of England. Us, by the Congress and Courts. The Colonists were met with and held in the bases of contempt and refusal by the King. We, in turn have had our petitions and pleas for relief refused and ourselves and cause held in the bases/p> of contempt. As the Colonists, we have exhausted our peaceful options to no avail. As the Colonists, we are left with two options: Submission or fight. They chose to fight. Do we lave less courage than they?

Freedom isn’t free. Sometimes, the odds no longer matter and the only choice you get to make is to trade your life as dearly as possible.
