"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land
flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

It seems that there is a race to implode the US. The Leftists want a gradual implosion that results in a relatively smooth transition to a police state. The Left is implementing an incremental loss of 2A, 1A, and 4A, that way, there will be a weaker consensus for resistance. Publicly financed PR campaigns against guns, against hate speech bully comfortable moderates conservatives in to PC submission. TSA groin checks at airports and new check points are getting the plebs used to tyranny.
However, a rapid implosion will result in an over-reach and backlash. The, we at least might have a chance.
Instead of acceding to all their demands and worrying about their feelings why dont we just become their worst nightmares and start acting like the bullies they claim us to be. Next liberal pocket protector nerd I see gets a wedgie and hung in the locker...: )
Unfortunately those of us who care about our country might not have any other choice!
I very much disagree. Only GOD can save this country.
We are in this mess because, in many ways, we have ignored Him and His Wisdom.
The ‘RATS will be getting 99% of the vote after this.
It is precisely love of country which motivates the desire to avoid the Colonel’s conclusion.
Our Country was founded on ideas- bold ideas. Those ideas/ideals are being stolen (BHO 2nd Inagural Address) and turned into something quite different. This battle needs to be waged on an intellectual front. I refuse to believe the citizens of this country are that far gone that they cannot be convinced through passionate argumentation. I’ll admit it’s an uphill struggle, but I’m not ready to give up on it, or them.
I heartily agree with that FRiend.
“That rebellion could happen, is almost a given, but which side will the armed forces come down on? That is the question.”
I think the military will break 50/50, same with LEO.
As over wrought as Sellin appears today, what he said here is no less applicable than were the pre-revolution writings of our key founding fathers.
Sad.
As I’ve posted before, I am surprised that an “incremental” revolution hasn’t already begun; one in which certain corrupt politicians and some of their evil enablers in the media, have simply disappeared, never to be heard from again. One by one: poof!
Business owners not hiring Obama supporters
Accepting cash and paying less in taxes
For starters.... Compile a huge list of ways to starve the beast
If the way is cleared for a third 0bumble term (already proposed) it should be on.
Yes indeed.
Perhaps a quote from Common Sense ll
The future of this great nation is imperiled as it has not been since the revolutionary war. Slowly, ever so slowly, our freedoms have evaporated into the air of a slow motion tyranny. As Americans this was the only way to conquer us—so slowly that most of us accepted a “small” encroachment here and a “small” encroachment there, as necessary to satisfy the ever increasing hunger of the statist.
I blame Congress as much, if not more, than Obama. Obama is a symptom of the crisis, Congress' failure to protect their exclusive legislative powers and their inability to manage the value of money IS the crisis.
In any event, because something has to change, it will. A cursory acquaintance with history suggests a Sulla, or a Cromwell. We were very lucky with GEN Washington.
Gestures of rebellion with the US Armed Forces on the other side, while gallant, are futile. As pointed out by ouchthatonehurt, there is a lot of political work to be done before the inflection point.
There must be a disloyal political movement. By disloyal, I mean a political movement that renounces the legitimacy of Congress' acts of pretended legislation and that denies their right to rule. This movement must not be armed - that's ANOTHER movement's job. Members of our movement elected to Congress will refuse to take their seats, but they will not face arrest.
As the rightness of the movement becomes better known, the righteousness of armed resistance will be understood by more than could understand it today.
The goal is to expel the corrupt occupation regime and to replace it with a legal, constitutional government. People who think that can be accomplished by patriot rifle squads fighting the US Army and Marine Corps are not engaged with reality.
Think out of the box - what are small ways that everyone, young and old, can protest against the FEDS every day? A kind of protracted civil-disobedience campaign....
Any ideas?
Stop flying.
Everbody, stop flying
“First among them is the fact that the people are represented.”
Yes, and how is that taxation WITH representation working out for you?
