As far as laying off the caffeine, some of my fellow patriots did that in Boston Harbor on December 17, 1773.
I like to go to old book stores and buy the OLD histoy books. They have helped in my granchildrens schooling, not the public schools which they attend, but the real education provided by their parents.
Then they watch a lot of the History channels DOCs on hitler. They know the truth, but don't really understand how he came to be, they are watching this in re-play at this very moment in the U.S.
your FReephandle is really funny! one of my dogs loves to have his chest scratched, and the other, her butt. so, when i scratch her butt, i say, “scratchy the butt, scratchy the butt.”
anyhoo, i lol’d!
No sale.

BINGO! wardaddy.
Just be careful, they watch us. As a matter of fact I think this whole thread is a set up.
I was hoping Halgr could give me some of the posts he’d made debunking this piece. Aside from the two posts on newsvine, that you found there doesn’t seem to be much verifying whether this guy is in the Marines or not. I can understand that he might not actually be in the service, I just don’t understand what the motivation of a Leftie is for writing this piece.

Could it be a threat?
Yes, because I think we are starting to scare them.
By keeping track of who posts what on certain forums.
I think so too.
I'm willing to bet that it won't be a cross section of America he chooses, it will be every gangbanger type they can find!
FRiend, I'm a benefactor member of the NRA and and an Oath Keeper. I proudly display my state flag. If they start rounding up 4 million NRA members, you have a lot bigger problem on your hands than trying to be Mr. Anonymous....
No, I am not scared either. But a blatant rant about revolution while candid, may not be the smart move. Have you considered the secesh point of view? It gets you to the same place, with states right as a moral foundation, and requires little or no call for war.
I'm sorry, Marine, I care.
In life we're judged by our actions, nothing more, nothing less.
That is exactly why we have a problem with our government.
But the SECOND you start committing acts of violence and vandalism, then you've usurped that Constitution. You in a way have assaulted it. And then you and I (I being every servicemember who has sworn to defend said Constitution) will have a MAJOR PROBLEM.
Will you have any problem with the government when it commits acts of violence on its citizens? Did you in the past? FWIW acts of violence are not the only way to usurp the Constitution.
For those of you calling for a civil war, I implore you to stop and think about what you're saying. Look around your neighborhood and your city. Now imagine using that terrain to survive. Imagine dodging semi-automatic rifle fire as you scramble from cover to cover, dragging your wounded child behind you.
Imagine the public reaction to government troops doing those things. Don't imagine that the reaction to that will come in the form of combat teams or massed maneuvers. Think of 80 million gun owners needing only to fire one shot each and retiring from further action. Think of a standing army that far outnumbers all of the men under arms in the military of every nation on the planet put together.
Now consider a different point altogether. Almost no one is considering attacking our government and starting a civil war. Self defense is another matter. With all due respect, Sgt., you watch too many movies.
Your post recalls to mind a quote from “300”:
“Messenger: What makes this woman think she can speak among men?
Queen Gorgo: Because only Spartan women give birth to real men.”
Let them underestimate the will of free men and women.
What's so special about the "high right lung"?
When I entered the Army (100 years or so ago) my oath was to the Constitution, not to the government.
When the government fails to safeguard our rights and indeed attacks those rights, it is they who have declared war.
