“If you can look around yourself and see patriots willing to die for anything, let alone freedom, you live in a better neighborhood than I do.”

Hell, I’m behind enemy lines, smack dab in the middle of the Belly of the Beast (just west a few miles from Chicago), and, believe it or not, there are still some patriots even around here.

I appreciate the points, but I believe this nation to be lost, and a majority of its apparently willing subjects richly deserve every crap sandwich they get shoved down their throats by the socialists from here on in. Yeah, there are some good eggs yet, but they have to be looked for around here (it ain't the belly of the beast, but it just may be the beast's lower intestine).

My dad taught American History for 30 years in the days before FedGov PC took over the schools, and I have been an avid history buff all my life, so I am aware of the odds in 1776 (two of my g-g-g-g-g grandfathers laid their lives and fortunes on the line despite them). At this point, I feel that I am likely to have to settle for simple catharsis and then oblivion rather than victory. It ain't fair, it ain't right, it just IS.
