Life is a wheel, and it revolves. And you’re either driving the revolution of that wheel, or getting crushed under the weight of it. Sort of like a Gatling Gun?

The PROPER way is to make tyranny so expensive in terms of the lives of tyrants that no one will ever want to do it again. That means using the guillotine or the gallows liberally. Okay, but not exclusively, if you please.
During the Finnish Civil War of 1918, the Finns loyal to their own nation and people found that one use for captured Red prisoners was for use as bayonet practice targets for young and inexperienced troops who needed an introduction to the realities of their new profession and way of life.

Our great Nation is rapidly approaching a similar state of tyranny as was present in the 1770’s...high taxation, poor to no representation, an aristocratic rulling class, a government that does not care a wit for the commoners, the people of the colonies.
I’ll wager this Nation’s Founders are spinning in their graves wondering how long before we begin plucking the chickens and heating the tar.
This was a great article and well defines the entire “ruling class”.

The grounds may be fertile and ripe for action...
But there are people on both sides of this issue that do not believe anyone has the guts to do it...
That mentality is even more dangerous...

The article is far too wordy No it's not. We're just used to the pundit's 3 to 5 paragraph outrage of the day articles.
This one clarifies and gives useful names to the forces and divisions that we here need to process. And then figure out how to tear apart their God forsaken tyranny. No more defense.

I feel the the WWII heroes (”The Greatest Generation”) came home and spoiled their kids rottenly to be the sixties brats and hippies (the Baby-Boomers) and are now ruling the “Media”(?) and our educational system leading the way for taking our nation down the RAT hole to Marxism!!!
