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?

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.

“ 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.

Communism is a mafia where those who run the show prosper on the backs of those they’ve fooled into believing that suffering is happiness.

I need to invest a little time on this one, and copy it.
