Then by all means, don't let the door hit you on the way out. Go away. If you have nothing to offer but more boring "gloom despair and agony on me" defeatism and hand wringing, then by all means, find another country. I am getting sick and freaking tired of hearing my so-called countrymen, those that I defended for 11 years in the US Army, waving the surrender flag. It sickens me, in fact. If you have nothing to offer but more of the same ol' "America is finished" defeatism, then by all means, feel free to not say it...we have enough of that mindset already on this forum.
What we need are solutions. What we need are words of encouragement for you wavering so-called conservatives. If you have no stomach for a fight, if you have no dedication to the principles upon which our Republic was founded, if you have so little pride in yourself that you're willing to sit idly by while the tyrants control you like a puppet, then this quote is for you:
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
Does that make you mad? Does it upset you? Good...quit whining and start offering solutions.
Welcome to FReep.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Dude, where’s my country?
Do you really think you can reform the fed beast? The metamorphisis has been completed.
“..start offering solutions.” As someone else stated regarding the metamorphisis, “I’d pickup a newspaper, roll it up and smash the $hit out of that butterfly and throw it in the trashcan, then go find me another caterpillar...: )”
I agree with this, therefore I agree with you.
But I believe that we aren’t giving our states their proper role in all of this. I stated this before as part of the solution, but which seems to be glossed over all the time. So let me state in the form of a question, “What role, if any, can a state government have in any part or in whole?” I want to explore this, because each individual state WILL have some involvement and yet so far no one has posited how this may work out.
Your posts 99 and 101 are right on the mark, brother Dawg. I’ve been telling the hand wringing surrender monkeys on FR to take their defeatist drivel elsewhere for ages now.
Theirs is an infectious, insidious evil that will break the spirit of this whole community if others don’t stand up and tell them to stuff it.
Thank you!
