Not to be rude, but that doesn't help. We did our job then, but what are we doing now that deserves "thanks"?

I've recently "found" a bunch of the guys I served with. We're all pretty much of the same mind.

This government is off the rails. They have become the "domestic" enemy we swore to protect against.

We feel powerless. We feel like cowards. We have no idea what to do next.

Most people continue to council, "Wait until after this falls elections." Or, "We still have the Courts to work this through..."

In the meantime, they are piling it on faster and faster while their complicit lapdogs in the media demonize us daily.

... and the whole Country takes one more swirl 'round the toilet bowl.

The “Tea Party” movement has, as of this moment, done nothing that’s the equivalent of the 76ers dumping tea in the harbor. That was an act of civil disobedience with a bullet. It wasn’t merely the opposing of an onerous law, but it was the violation of a law through deliberate act.

It violated onerous law.

It physically injured no one.

It financially injured some.

It directly attacked the onerous law in that it injured crown revenue/taxation.

What would be the equivalent in our day?

I don’t know.
