“How do you propose to fight a vacuum”

Wow, that is deep. If I was writing a book, I’d borrow it ;)

“Despite what some posters say here, I am willing to stand up and fight. Giving up is simply a sign of being weak.”

I’m moving to an area that I think will be the start of the revolt. If not, it will be heavily involved, being historically rebellious and conservative.

Getting out of socialist California is my first step to freedom and self-sufficiency, should it be needed.

So I’m with you. My property has a shooting range btw. :)

Beautiful. Love the tractor. And the Amish buggy in the parking lot. They make great neighbors.

And to further qualify my answer, I quote a visiting pastor to my church about 30 years ago: “Where would the early church have been if it had put its faith in Rome”.

The early church climbed into bed with Rome, and became half of the monster that has plagued mankind ever since, in various forms of government-church alliances.

This article is off kilter because the grieving process pertains to the grief after a person's death. The USA is being strangled by (1) evil people with evil intent, and (2) misguided and cowardly people who imagine themselves to be too good, or too helpless, to confront the evil people.

Turning the other cheek when evil needs to be confronted and defeated, is evil itself.

“There is one peaceful option”
Is there?

Yes, and it is right under our noses in Article V.

Convention of States.

Needs to be repeated.

[Article] When Rachel Carson published “Silent Spring” 52 years ago, her radical premises opened the floodgates to the liberal green movement. It was a slow, evolutionary process to get Americans to believe they are a vile plight in the universe.

Four years after Carson published Silent Spring, Stalinist pseudointellectual Susan Sontag gave the ultimate Leftist defi on the subject of environmentalism, in the pages of Newsweek no less (she definitely wanted it out in public):

"The Caucasian race is the cancer of the planet."

Now you know where it is all ultimately coming from -- and therefore, ultimately invalid, bad, hostile, and a malevolent lie.

At least an “idiot child” may be teachable enough to know one end of a gun from the other.

There’s no teaching this crowd.

A post for my own heart. :)

No God, no peace. The population is no longer Christian traditional, or even educated.

Elections will never solve our problems, as the outcomes only reflect the sorry condition of a once Christian people and make only a marginal difference.

Obama showed us how far we have fallen, how much we have lost.
200 years, wiped out and we think an election will bring peace and safety. Hardly.

It would be safe to say I would be part of the 3% or more “this time”...

Seems to me it is almost like getting painted into a corner...The more the forces of tyranny force freedoms loving people into these situations, the less real estate we have to maneuver...

It would be interesting to go back and research what happened to the sympathizers and collaborators that helped the British back during, and after the Revolution...

That would be an interesting topic to research and get the word out to those considering the same course of action...

I’m sure not going to be very sympathetic to their plight if we manage to succeed in our pursuit of re-establishing, or separating from this corrupt, virtue-less federal government...

I know the premise of this website is to not foment such discussion, seriously, but some people do have their limitations...

We have not yet had a serious “shot heard ‘round the world.” just yet...

We still have a few tricks up our sleeves left...

Are you referring to the Fabian socialists???

They started about 20-30 years before that time, but I believe they began to rise in popularity among the academics and other receptive citizenry...

I could be wrong about your analysis...Just thought I would throw my take on your timeline there...

Yep, another solution from their side of the equation...

Yes, you are spot on...

I have always said, and it is basically a rhetorical question not intending a response by anyone in a public forum like this...

It is the ultimate patriotic “gut-check” question...

“What are YOU prepared to do about it? And, what are YOU willing to sacrifice for it?”

Most answers are different, based upon the individual and their level of commitment and courage...

But they are similar in desired outcome...

That is where we are united...We may be separated by internal boundaries, personalities and political tolerances...But we are on the same side...

Like I mentioned in another response here, I would like to think we have more than the 3% it took to beat a worlds super power at the time back in the beginning...

The majority of citizens in this country are without virtue...A simple, faith driven belief that there IS a higher authority than this government that has usurped its basic Constitutional boundaries...And intimidates and is on the verge of full tilt tyranny...

And those people, that continue to placate this tyranny, in some cases are absolutely ok with the government sticking it to those of us who value freedom and liberties more than they do...They love it when our bowels are in an uproar!!!

So I have no sympathy for those destructive and vindictive citizens that are complicit to that tyranny...

Maybe we can pull us out of this nose dive at full throttle...

But until we see a return to very simple virtuous existence, we are unlikely to see any real, viable future for this country...

Sure, we may deserve to exist, but as a whole we have lost our way...

Care to expand on that option?

You know, in a sense the libturds are right. We do not see ourselves in a war on women so we aren’t but we had best figure how to fight one and get to it.

Sure, there's been no shortage of posts to FR about Article V in general and repeal of the 17th Amendment.

The latest is A Frankenstein Constitution.

Do a keyword search of "17th" and "Article V" for others.

But I have to be near mountains or hills to feel at home.


My driveway takes me 80 feet above the valley below. We like sitting on our front porch and looking at all the hills. I liked the mountains of western Washington, but I also like no longer dealing with mountain passes.

I’ve also had my fill of the ocean, so that is not really mussed either.
