We’re still too comfortable. Someone on FR posted a line from the Declaration of Ind that I must have glanced over: Something to the affect of “good people will put up with a lot before springing into action.” As long as we have guns we can put up with a lot. We still have good food, comfy beds, go to church wherever and whenever we want, homeschool, etc. We still have it pretty good. Once the come for the guns, everything is off the table: we will never be able to right the ship.
Also, all the things you mentioned affects us, and all of it is interrelated, I disagree with the writer when he says they’re not connected. But those things don’t greatly hinder us from doing the things we REALLY want to do.
“Then how did we end up with legal abortion, runaway welfare, taxes up the whazoo, illegals by the tens of millions, 70% illegitimate birthrate, outrageous gun control, school systems that brainwash, same sex marriage ...”
Dear Disgruntled Grunt:
We ended up with abortion, crappy schools, sky-high taxes and no property rights because so-called conservatives are too damn busy remodeling kitchens, going fishing and chasing dollars. They had no time to attend local village council meetings to stop ordinances that infringed on their property rights. Spending two hours a month attending county board meetings was too strenuous, so property taxes went up and up and up. They couldn’t attend school board meetings to keep communists out of the classroom because there was always another fish to catch.
I spent nearly two decades in local government, and asking a conservative to show up at a village meeting to oppose a sidewalk tax was like asking a vampire to attend a sunrise worship service.
Americans were warned that they needed to be involved and watch their elected officials or bad things would happen. They didn’t do their duty, and now bad things are happening everywhere - gun laws, high taxes, bad judges, crappy schools and rapidly dwindling freedom.
Is it too late? I don’t think so. But conservatives better start organizing locally real soon. The clock is ticking. A good start would be electing a constitutional county sheriff who believes in the 2nd amendment. That office will bring peace to local communities, allow for the investigation and arrest of local liberal politicians, stand as a legally armed bulwark against federal thugs and act as a rallying point to muster 2,000 heavily armed auxiliary deputies for use in “emergencies.”
Other than that, how was the local peach moby brew in your town this fall?
Immigration of the last 150 years changed who we were.
