“...Boehner lied to him...”

That’s what he does. So what? You expect anything more out of him? Of course not.

We’ll find a way around him.

Well let me just say this...I get to say if or not I’m going to ontinue to play their game or not....Or focus on my family and my life preparing them for what’s coming, along with not funding anything they do.

I have a limit I will go with nonesense, which is what all this is now...my time is more valuable spent otherwise as I see it.

“...There is nothing a few privates can do in a army led by idiots ...”

One Rifleman can pin down an entire company when he knows what he’s doing.

Nothing’s impossible.

Start planning for the next battle and try to get a few steps ahead of the assh*les. Because you can be damn well sure THEY’RE planning ahead.

RE:”...and like Louie Gohmert was willing to sacrifice his career-life to do the right thing. “

He had little to lose in this but if he serious he really would have challenged Boehner making a real case starting with the GOP nomination vote last month, rather than claiming that Boehner twicked him.

.....

What I really posted was “He said that he trusted Boehner and Boehner lied to him. “

Now the answer to your question ‘so what’ to my real comment becomes obvious.

Did you ‘trust’ Boehner last month?

RE:”One Rifleman can pin down an entire company when he knows what he’s doing.”

But not an entire army, especially if his own army is shelling him at the same time.

Reminds me of that Marx bros movie Duck Soup.

I hope you saw that classic Impy, if not make it a point.

Yep...I really don’t see how the trajectory is going to change at all. Even in this next Pres. election which is certainly showing the “SAME” lineage as they took us thru last time.

Sheesh! All the re-runs running yet again and touted by the media!! Same O’ crap...same rotten smell! If it’s not over for the American people it’s certainly fully headed that way.

I don’t believe it’s so much we’ve been in denial...as they measure out just enough to raise false hopes that we as a people can change things. ...and we are a hopeful people which they’re abusing now.

As mentioned I have limits on how much longer I’ll play in this park and I’m very much prepared to refocus my money, my time, and my attention where it will matter....obvious it’s not otherwise.

As for fighting for Freedom....there simply isn’t enough of us IMO....and certainly no organization or leadership to do so. You cannot steer a ship without a rudder and we’re basically out here in the ocean without one.

I’m weary of even Sarah Palin and others like her who I sometimes think now even they are being tossed out to us to keep us occupied and engaged with a false hope. I know this sounds awful but I got to say I think we’re being played by them all as if we’re in the game...when in reality we are simply in the grandstands and have no say in the plays nor what the teams do.....and I don’t want to be just a spectator when I’ve got skin that game they’re trampling on!

Hell, no. You know I didn’t; I couldn’t stand him from day one.

My point is, letting the other side they “got” to us doesn’t help us.

Flip them the middle finger, and start working on ways around them, by any means necessary.

We got punched. Ok. Spit the tooth out, and find a way to punch back, harder.

F*** ‘em all.

I think there isn’t much more to be done other than local level and hoping for an article V, if none of that works there is only one option available.

I think the best thing that can be done at this point is pray for the best but step-up planning and preparing for the worst. I don’t see anything getting better. I don’t want the last option but que sera, sera.

Congratulations. And welcome.

I don’t believe that at all...we’re the spectators regardless of how much skin we put in the game....because they aren’t playing the game to win more than what they can gain themselves.....the gameboard isn’t in our sphere of play at all.

Just look at the line-up for the Pres. election.....re-runs every one of them. And we’ve been and continue to be mis-led to think and have hope over and over again only to see nothing changes...because they don’t want it to.

IMO we are no better than third world countries in our politics, they just know better how to keep pulling the wool over our eyes.

That happened in January in below zero temperatures? I think not.

It’s just plain foolish to try to organize a rally in this weather. Nobody but your most diehard core will show up, and that is not enough to impress anyone, so it defeats the purpose of holding a rally in the first place.

The beginning of legislative competence is being able to count votes beforehand.

I don’t believe there’s enough pushing for the Article v or support of to make it happen at all. And the final option will never get off the ground. There are too many in our population so deceived now they cannot possibly see what’s reality or discern the difference....and many don’t care as long as they can keep their own lives in control....and I’m one now heading that direction as well.

I will watch, and be the obedient spectator of thier game......but they will not get support nor my time as before...I’m pretty much done now.

They weren’t holding political rallies, were they?

Besides, they both enjoyed the benefits of conscription, which we do not.

“...the gameboard isn’t in our sphere of play at all....”

Ok, so we just quit then?

F*** no.

You vote in local elections, right? You talk with your local party folks, right?

Every last one of these motherf***ers at the national level started at a local level somewhere.

That sure as Hell IS in your sphere of influence. Get in their face at the local level.

I sure as hell do.

And if that doesn’t work, find a party that DOES represent what you believe, instead of just pulling “R” or “D”.

Failing that, at EVERY election write in the name of the people want, and start working other folks to do same. Coordinate.

You do have a choice in the matter. At least it isn’t just doing NOTHING.

Like I said - F*** em all.
