Let the Keyboard Kommandos talk their bravado. If it makes them feel good in a bad situation, what harm does that do you or FR? This is a bad thing (Obamacare) that people have to contend with. The consequences are appalling. Seizure, confiscation and prison. Who knows if they are willing to go to prison for their beliefs? You??? People have had enough of encroaching government. Let them blow off steam.
I see what you’re saying, but you’ve got to realize that there are a lot of morons on FR who actually think that they are somehow going to make a romantic one-man stand against the Federal government, and that their sacrifice will lead to some kind of bullshit Hollywood happy ending. By allowing them to live in such a fantasy world, we increase the chances of one of them actually doing something stupid, and ending up like those poor bastards in Waco did.
Only someone who has never experienced Uncle Sam’s nasty side could fantasize about being a “freedum fahter”. Having been on the receiving end of just a tiny fraction of the hurt that Uncle can put on you, it’s my duty to call “enough” when faced with such adolescent nonsense. Folks, the federal government will RUIN YOUR LIFE if you give them an excuse. That’s “ruin” as in “you will never have a happy day ever again”. If you cause the Feds any real trouble they will crush you without batting an eyelash, and anyone who tells you anything different is selling something.
Being a partisan in real life isn’t like the movies. In real life, you don’t get to be a jut-jawed, good-smellin’ Patrick Swayze picking off Rooskies with Jennifer Grey at you side. In real life, they come for your kids in the night, and the next thing you know you’re bald, jumpsuited, and in a concrete cell. And if you do manage to escape, you’ll be a terrorist, and sooner or later they’ll be chopping you to pieces with 30mm cannon fire from a helicopter you can’t even see.
We have exactly the government we deserve in this country. The current situation is the inevitable end result of a society that is based on the idea that Man, not God, is the source of legitimate authority. The only thing left to do now is shut up, hunker down, and survive until the whole corrupt mess falls apart.
