Google "Patton and the bonus army" then get back to me.
As I stated earlier, I appreciate your sentiment.....but all things are not as how they appear to be.
Government will never seize personal gold. If such an order came from Washington, it would mean 100% failure of the dollar which means 100% collapse of the world economy. It also means that things are so far gone that people will have bigger problems than worrying about their gold being confiscated.
My tagline used to be
“Go Galt now, Bowman later”
Remember, Obama has promised to fundamentally transform America. I believe his vision for America is a grandiose socialist utopia which history has shown always leads to desolation and death for millions.
God forbid Obama is successful in implementing his plans. However, conservatives can not afford to play into his hand. We must not be the ones who start something which allows the government to further reduce our freedoms under the guise of putting down rebellion. We must instead do our best to diffuse situations and to educate those on the other side who will listen to reason for as long as we can.
We need to continue to make our voices heard and refuse to participate, as best we can, in feeding a government that has grown well beyond its constitutional mandate. We should prepare ourselves and our families for really bad times ahead and pray to God to help us. Because eventually the support provided by the government to those dependent will collapse. Then the blame game will commence in earnest and you know who they're going to be pointing their fingers at.
If Obama brings Civil War to America, then as Gen. G.S. Patton once said, "We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing them that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living G**damned guts. We're going to murder those lousy c***suckers by the bushel-f******-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do!"
War is a bloody, killing business and civil war is the worst kind of war. Every conceivable effort must be exercised in avoiding it and there are peaceful means left to us by the founders in our constitution to aid in restoring our Republic. That is why the left is doing its best to nullify it.
“What Gold?!? All my gold fell off the boat into the river in the same boating accident where I lost all my guns. Yep, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”
Thanks! Love it! I really needed a laugh today, and that did it! :)
Can our gold fillings be far behind?
Why not start confiscating teeth from Rappers, first? That’s where most of the serious ‘grill bling’ is, LOL!
