Good luck with that...don't let the door hit you on the way out. I'd rather die here on my own home soil, fighting to save what generations of Americans have passed along to me, than to run away for some temporary "safety". At least when I get to Fiddler's Green, I'll be able to look my forefathers in the eye, and tell 'em I stood and fought, instead of folding up the tents when things got tough.

If enough of us can overcome our fear and our self-preservation instinct, maybe we can prevail. But not if we all chicken out and run away.

Food for thought.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

It was a semi-humourous rhetorical reply.

The longer this people wait to stop this tyranny the more blood is going to be spilled in resisting it or overcoming it.

I cannot even get enough to agree that it is time to defy and refuse the crap coming from the regime. Many have lost their ability to discern good from evil, liberty from tyranny. As long as cable and beer is available, many say we're all good, even if it's EBT cards obtaining it.

My thoughts exactly. When the time comes, when they come for folks, you only need to get one bad guy (any more is frosting). There’s more of us than them, they’ll run out of bodies or balls first...

I am now calling it “Opening a can of Ukraine” on them. Do we (as a nation) have the guts it takes to do this?

How do we defeat tanks in our streets? How do we defeat Jug Ears air force? How do we defeat our neighbor who is a police officer? Where do we learn?

Amen, brother Dawg. I am so done with the surrender monkeys and purveyors of cowardice around here. If they want to run and hide, I say good riddance. They need to turn in their Freeper cards and leave the discussions to those who still have the will and the backbone to fight.

Profound and true. That gets a rare dual-approval by both the Captain, and the Chief Medical Officer:

Biff, you asked us: How do we defeat tanks in our streets? How do we defeat Jug Ears air force? How do we defeat our neighbor who is a police officer? Where do we learn?

How did the Maquis defeat the Nazis? How did the Mujaheddin defeat the Soviets? How did the Ukrainians bring down their tyrants?

Gentlemen, I and others among you agree: the ballot box, the mail box and the jury box have failed us. It is rapidly approaching the time when we fall back to the next trench and crack open that next box.

Leaving these shores is never an option. Reagan admonished us that "If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth."

Travis and everyone at the Alamo knew it:

I shall never surrender or retreat... I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch... if this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country...

Bold Leonidas and the Three Hundred knew it:

No retreat, no surrender; that is Spartan law. And by Spartan law we will stand and fight... and all will know, that 300 Spartans gave their last breath to defend it!

And that most illustrious of poets knew it:

That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us...
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s Day!

[SZonian]

I should have just bumped what you said...I need to read ahead next time.

[itssme]

Spoken like a true Patriot with guts, who will fight like hell for the Constitution, our freedom and liberty. Run? Run to where? Be a man and woman and stand up for what you believe in...the men and women of Our Greatest Generation should be a guide and example of people who fought and WON!
Keep your cool, keep focused and be prepared to move and fight. Join forces with like minded people. Say your prayers and be ready to pass that ammunition, whatever it may be, that will save this country.

[Fledermaus]

I wonder if the same was written about those pesky religious liberty pilgrams that wanted to leave western Europe.
