I actually wasn't talking about Sheriff DeMeo when I spoke of “domestic jingoism”. I'm talking more about people, and particularly FReepers, who see every misdeed by federal law enforcement as the first steps of “civil war”.

There were countless threads like this (domestically jingoistic) during the Clinton administration. I expect about the same results.

We have battles to fight but they will be in the courts and at the ballot box.

I sure hope that part is right and sorry for misinterpreting your comment.

You’re right. It’s not the first steps of civil war, it’s just another act of despotism by an illegitimate government.

I disagree. Bam has ramped this up to heights never dreamed of by the Clintons. On several fronts.

If you will recall what was being openly posted during that period when Algore was trying to steal the 2000 election you know how close we came to a civil war then.

I am probably more inclined to agree with you here, but at the same time, it is very heartening when you hear of the individual efforts such as these. I've been on this board over ten years now. The only other thing to keep me occupied for longer than that was my first wife.

Being a member since the Clinton years, I've heard a lot of chest beating. At the same time, however, the actions of many on here bear witness to the dedication and love of country that the membership has. In particular, I remember the dedication of the FReepers that stood outside the White House every weekend for as long as it took.

Courts? Ballot box?

Ask Senator Norm Coleman how well those are working these days...

You are fooling yourself...
