“Many seem to be self-deluded into thinking that if B.O. Plenty is elected POTUS, somehow conservatisim will rise again. This is Communism coming to America and right-thinking people had better make some mighty hard decisions on what they must be prepared to do. Don’t think we’re exempt.”
Brushcop - brilliant post - you speak some very hard, cold truths that we’d ALL better wake up and realize. You’re right - we’re not exempt, and all great civilizations pass a point of NO return.
Thank you for that llandres, very upsetting to say the least what we’re up against. I’m the older generation and so it is passing into younger FReeper’s hands but myself and my buddies have a lot of fight, don’t get me wrong. Plus grandchildren are always a motivating factor to keep charging ahead for their sakes.
It is interesting that my son and his buddies (US Army Infantry, combat veterans) were discussing (after their second tour in Iraq) that push come to shove, with the wrong POTUS and oppression starts setting in, what would they do? Some said that they could not enforce edicts with the point of their bayonets on their fellow Americans, they would take their chances with a military tribunal. Others said that they would somehow “work around” those kinds of orders (how?).
Still others said that they would rebel and fight from within (wow, do you realize the seriousness of these discussions?). Maybe we ought to just keep watching the training flick “Red Dawn” and pray for guidance.
Pray for this nation, for its men and women in uniform doing their duty which still boggles my mind, I love ‘em all, they are of the calibre we should emulate.
