So, will the "Resisters" be calling in sick or taking vacation time off? Who's going to be making the payments on the new SUV or Silverado? Who's going to be paying the mortgage while they're off fighting the good fight?

Who's going to shuttle the kids to and from soccer, or hockey or football practice? Who's willing to give up the overtime at work?

More importantly, who's going to fire the first shot? Better yet, who's going to come to his rescue?

We all saw how much fire support Randy Weaver received from HIS comrades in arms didn't we?

Who's going to be paying the mortgage while they're off fighting the good fight?

Not everyone has a mortgage. Not everyone has payments on consumer stuff. Some of us have grown kids that are gone. Some of us don't punch a clock for a living, and don't draw a check from Uncle.

Good questions. Here's something from my about page... circa 2010 or so...

Now to all of you who clamor for, and predict civil war. You just want to shoot something. Keep talking. Especially here on-line. The federal authorities will find you and "obviate" you long before you become any credible threat to them, and they'll use somebody like me to do it. Don't think that Free Republic will deny their web server logs when presented with a court issued subpoena. I wouldn't expect Jim Robinson to go to jail for you or I, and frankly, why should he? From the time you post your poorly chosen words to the time that somebody such as myself can have armed law enforcement on your doorstep, well under 72 hours will have passed. This can actually take only a few hours if they want you badly enough. In case you haven't noticed, those who actually have experience in war want to avoid it at almost all cost, and hope and pray that it can be averted on American soil. Civil wars have never been started because of the likes of what we're going through now. However, it's probably worth noting that civil wars HAVE been started over food (or rather the lack thereof). Bearing this in mind, it's worth noting that the farming industry here in America is heavily subsidized by the government. It can NOT operate at a profit without the government. At what point do farmers decide that it's more profitable to work in their own self interest, or simply do something else? This is worth watching closely, especially with masses of dim witted people who believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows; a people completely disassociated with where their food actually comes from.

Finally, as for all of you here who dare the ATF, FBI, and any other "sanctioned" three letter agency to come take your guns...

I've seen far too many threads here where people talk about what they're going to do when sanctioned authorities show up at 2:00 A.M. wearing kevlar, tossing flash bangs, and firing sub guns. I'll tell you what you're going to do. You're going to die. The question isn't how many of the JBTs (Jack Booted Thugs) you're going to take down with you. Oh I'm quite certain that some of you will actually take a few with you. You're still going to die though. The question is how many of you are willing to fire on JBTs from the rear when they're assaulting your neighbor's house at 2:00 A.M?! This IS the question! I've asked this question enough times to know the answer, and the answer is rooted in the 90% who are SLAVES to the nice house that they just HAD to have in the nice neighborhood ....and the nice cars....and the liquid cash from the credit cards....compounded by the general lack of discipline in exercising delayed gratification. The real question is, "How many of the 10% are willing to fire on JBTs from the rear for somebody in the 90%?" Those who read this will know there is truth in it, and the truth is that none from the 10% are willing to help those in the 90% when it comes to any real sacrifice. Why should they? Most of the 90% are unarmed anyway, and don't believe in sacrificing anything of any real value to others around them, (evidenced by their spending habits!). They went into debt for the home alarm system and closed circuit T.V. that interfaces to the home LAN and their PC, but couldn't seem to muster the fortitude to purchase an AR-15 and a suitable store of ammunition. This same 90% wouldn't dream of living without good locks on their doors (in spite of the reiterating to me that they live in NICE neighborhoods)! If the neighborhoods are so nice, then why even lock the doors? There is a serious division in this nation right now between the 90% and the 10%, both materialistically and philosophically. I personally believe we're going to see a shifting of classes here in America. The in-debt, fat, and comfortable middle class will become poor. The poor will truly become poor....as in Third World Nation POOR. I can't envision exactly where the 90% will end up when the dust has settled (so to speak), but slaves usually have very little say in how they get moved around by circumstances in their lives.

"So, will the "Resisters" be calling in sick or taking vacation time off? Who's going to be making the payments on the new SUV or Silverado? Who's going to be paying the mortgage while they're off fighting the good fight?"

Retired old white guys who lived the "good life".

“Who's going to be making the payments on the new SUV or Silverado? Who's going to be paying the mortgage while they're off fighting the good fight?”

If there is war, no one will be making any payments on anything as the banking system won't be working anymore and businesses will be closed.

My house is paid for and so is my car - and so are my guns and ammo.
