Amen, Windy... “Bugging out” is not an option for someone who claims to be an American.
This is my home, my country, my Nation, and at last HALF of the people here are my People as well.
There IS no where TO run to; folks can run all away all their lives, and these cretins will just follow them - because THEY can’t exist without us. They need us; we don’t need them.
So, these surrender monkeys can run all they want. Go to some Third World country, settle down in some little village off the beaten path, and when the Marxist or Muslim Rebel terrorist group du jour comes through - which they will, eventually - then run again. Or join them.
We didn’t get where we are after 240 years by running away. If there was EVER a time for Americans to ACT like Americans and stand up, this is it.
This isn’t free. Nobody ever said it would be. Most people go through their whole lives never realizing that that particular bill is still out there and will need to be paid someday.
Many already paid it, went away to foreign places, gave up all of their tomorrows for OUR today.
Way I figure it, my life means nothing in the grand scheme of things other than what I do to make sure what was left to me is still there for the following generations.
I’ve had a good life because some 19 or 20-year old American kid gave his life up on Iwo, or in the Ardennes, or in Ia Drang, or Pleiku, or 73 Eastings, or Mosul, or Falujah.
If mine is required now, then it is what is. My old man almost bled to death in the snow in the Ardennes so that I’d have a good life. How the hell do you repay THAT? Certainly not by running away.
Better to stand and fight - like an American Man - than run and hide. If it’s alone, by myself, then so be it. Every man has a moment of truth, and it’s usually faced alone.
We all die eventually. It’s what you LIVE for up to that point - that matters. Whatever small part I was put on this Earth to play, I will play it with due diligence.
Who am I? I’m an American.
And NO ONE will ever make me turn my back on that.
Woof, woof Brother Dawgs... Grand Pack Howl.
Also read and “take to heart” Post 63 in this discussion.
Amen, Brother!!
You said it EXACTLY the way it needs to be said!
This is OUR Country!
And we ain’t running away from anybody or anything!
Many, many are ready. But twenty can’t show up on the Capitol steps armed and ready to fight. It has to be a groundswell and that requires leadership and organization. So far, I have not heard anyone asking patriots to follow.
Amen, and amen again. We need to keep affirming that message in everything we do and say. Resistance to tyranny starts in the mind and heart. If those are weak, there's no resistance possible, and a person will unwittingly aid and abet their tormentors.
One wouldn't think they'd have to forcefully convey such a message in a place like this, but unfortunately, we do. There's just that much negativity and defeatism being dribbled on these pages every day.
Thank you for pushing back.
