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.
What happened to you?
Yep! So we should all just get down on our knees and BEG for the corrupt government to take ANYTHING they deem valuable of ours to feed the beast.
At least that is how I read you.
We should all just give up. Don't fight back.
I don't intend to be pushed around by the government I pay for with MY taxes. These people work for US!!!
I don't ever want a confrontation with my own government but the "government" increasingly is pushing honest people into corners where they feel they may have no choice other than to act out with civil disobedience.
This country was founded on the shoulders of great men that were tired of the government pushing its citizens around and remember that the FIRST American Revolution was fought for FAR LESS reasons.

Following your advice is a sure thing for defeat.
Aren’t you just a ray of sunshine...................

This is a damn good point. And if anything, you made it in the right thread.
———————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.—————————
Yeah, a happy hollywood ending isn’t going to happen but as I stated above, if people really did start doing this(even if only a handful) it could easily lead to a repeal of obamacare. Let there be victims of obamacare above/beyond economics and let it become a big nationwide story. The american people simply wouldn’t stand for it and you’d have 1994’s again and again and again.
There are millions of americans who know how to leverage talk radio and the internet to their advantage. This isn’t something the liberal media could keep a lid on.(should it actually start happening)
-————Folks, the federal government will RUIN YOUR LIFE if you give them an excuse.-—————
With the passage of obamacare, some people realize that the ruin has already been signed into law. Now it’s just a matter of time.
I happen to think the american people will pull a miracle and get it repealed ala Dan Rostenkowski but I’m confident it will take on a different form. The sad thing is that a few people may have themselves put in jail as the only catalyst we’ve got to reach a full repeal.
You could give us a hint of what it was.
There are more than a few of us Real Army that just don’t believe that this government can make ALL of our lives a living hell.
We also believe that a LOT, (if not the majority) of those who would be given the command to use their 30mm’s .. wont.
We have a radical, marxist, narcissist in office and more and more people are waking up to that.
Don’t kid yourself .. There ‘ARE’ Real Life commando’s out here and we aren’t just talking ‘keyboard’ commando’s either!
And yes .. I have been on the receiving end of our and other nasty governments.
I hear you B-Chan.
It is usually the same screen names that get into the fill em full of buck shot time for a civil war cry mode.
Kinda like the other ping list of Anti Catholics...
You know the ones that all of a sudden think the NY Times is gospel.
