Ann is boldly taking steps the rest of us won’t yet. She won’t pay taxes to our tyrannical government, risking her remaining freedom.

And how many other dumbasses are now sitting in prison for taking the exact stand?

She's a nut job, pure and simple and anybody here who actually supports her is a clear indicator of how far this site had devolved back to the days of Michael Rivero........

But with that being said, WHY AREN'T YOU AND THE REST OF HER SUPPORTERS FOLLOWING IN HER FOOTSTEPS? After all, you've now raised her up to Joan of Arc status and a martyr certainly needs faithful followers willing to suffer the same fate or they die for nothing........................

I know, I know, you got the job, the mortgage, the payments on the boat and the new truck to think about and the kid you're putting thru college.........

“a martyr certainly needs faithful followers willing to suffer the same fate or they die for nothing”
May I suggest, you have a faulty understanding of martyrdom.

“She’s a nut job, pure and simple ...”
I wonder if that was ever said of Joan of Arc.

And how many other dumbasses are now sitting in prison for taking the exact stand?

I've read your name calling and seen your dismissive response, but nothing of a well reasoned assessment of Ann's beliefs. All I can infer from your advice is bend over at take it, whichever way it comes and for however long? You're free to that opinion and your opinion of Ann. For me, I admire her courage, and make no claim to be able to match it. I don't count myself as a supporter or follower of her, but I admire her drawing a line in the sand and stating it publicly. While we still can, I'm choosing to take what preparations I can to give myself and my family options when the time comes to draw my line.

I'll try to stay out of the way of the law and order types who will line up against those wishing for freedom; those who would gladly stand with a tyrannical government to imprison those who won't bow to kiss the ring of our would be masters. Those who can justify their actions as "just following orders" while they oppress fellow citizens. I hope there aren't too many of those types on Free Republic, but I know there are some. I just hope they have the courage to question what the media and the corporate elite controlled government call truth and justice, because what we're sold now ain't it.
