Yes, something wicked this way comes. Of that there is no doubt.
That distant thunder that you may hear rolling through far-off hills is war.
War is coming. Here. Soon.
And, like my father before me, I am prepared. I am prepared to honor my oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.
I may be older and slower, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t go down swinging.
So what are you doing to prepare for it?
“So what are you doing to prepare for it?”
Where I live is mostly hillbillies, most of whom are still subconsciously fighting the civil war.
Nobody here is doing anything “special”, I suppose because we’ve always known this time would come.
There weren’t any “runs” on guns or ammo here because it wasn’t necessary.
We’ve always had guns, ammo and the mountains at our back.
Things will be different in the urban and suburban areas of conflict than here.
Hundreds of years later, we’re all still Celts at heart....children of the mists.
I don’t know what will happen to the “civilized” liberal outlanders who have moved in amongst us.
I reckon I don’t much care, either.
Noumenon, you said, “...I am prepared to honor my oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign AND domestic.” I can assure you that your feelings are shared by many loyal Americans throughout the country. It is being shown statistically by the increase in gun sales and ammunition stockpiles that is also occurring. As one who is nonviolent and legalistic, I find this very unsettling. As a realist and avid historian, I can see the inevitability. I can further assure you that, just as mans rights are given to him by God so that they cannot be taken away by the government, there will always be an element that fights for those rights no matter who is in power. It is just a matter of how far you are willing to go to retain your God given rights.
