A pox on anyone who loses faith at the last minute.

Stand the line until there is no line, my faithful brothers, and then stand some more. Should we fall, we will have fallen as men with our pride intact.

No matter the outcome, we will know that we stood while others crept away in this, our final stand.

Flee if you have lost your will, flee beyond the trees. As for me, I stand until the bitter end and beyond. Until my last breath I will fight for America that was and for future generations of a people yearning to be free.

Who will stand with me?

Where we go one, we go all.

Well said, Sir. 

Our will hasn't even been tested yet, and when it is, we who stand with you will prove ourselves able and our resolve fierce. 

The only way we lose is if we give up.

I went looking for the quote, "I have not yet begun to fight!" and found an interesting naval warfare story which I will excerpt. (Cliff's notes: Even well into punishing battle, John Paul Jones said he was just getting started or would force his adversary to fight on)

The Bonhomme Richard fired one of its big guns at the Serapis, but it unexpectedly exploded, killing crewmen, damaging the ship, and causing the crew to not use the other big guns for fear the same thing would happen with them.

The Serapis then used its heavier guns to pound the Bonhomme Richard.

At one point, the bow of the Bonhomme Richard ran into the stern of the Serapis, resulting in the Bonhomme Richard‘s flag falling. When he noticed the flag was down, a universal sign of surrender, the captain of the Serapis asked Jones, “Has your ship struck?” which meant was Jones surrendering.

According to a crewman, Jones replied, “I have not yet begun to fight!” Later, Jones himself reported saying something like, “I have not yet thought of it, but I am determined to make you strike.” The flag of the Serapis had been nailed to the ship, which meant they would never surrender.

Jones quickly realized his only chance was to ram the Serapis and pull along side. Using grappling hooks, the crew of the Bonhomme Richard quickly brought the two ships together.

Both ships were able to repel boarding attempts. Incredibly, several times during the battle, the Alliance returned and haphazardly fired on the Serapis, which inflicted damage as well as killing crewmen on both the Serapis and Bonhomme Richard.

After several hours of fighting, a midshipman from the Bonhomme Richard was able to successfully board the Serapis with a boarding party. They were able to force the crew of the Serapis to retreat from their positions.

This resulted in the captain of the Serapis ultimately surrendering to Jones. The captain of the Serapis had to rip the flag from his ship because it had earlier been nailed on. No other crewman would remove the flag.

I stand with you, without fear. We haven't come this far to fail. Led by Trump and Q, we will vanquish the evil bastards, no matter what.

Good Grief again.   If it comes to cross swords I'm there on the line!   I just want my fellow citizens to know that our last chance at peacefully solving this thing is before noon today.   There is no "two days from now", or "ten days from now."   The only recourse would be battle royale.

I’d rather hang together, than separately.
The Poxes, however, are more suited for those that hated the faithful
all along, while resisting their entreaties to research and discuss.

Not to mention the mighty orchestrators of all the gaslighting.

It can be hard not to falter in the face of such evil powers and principalities... Powers that desire to make your survival contingent upon
your compliance.

Some may feel directed to head for the hills before the
rush, in the face of it all.

I’m still in till they take me out.
It is an honor being here with you all.

I still have to toss in my anger from time to time though.

Freedom is what it’s all about.

Here’s a happy distraction we all can engage in:

Presidents always leave notes for the incoming president..

What do you think Trump’s message is to BiteMe?
