“But I do agree that overly-polite civil disobedience is useless. We need to protest in a way that someone has to at least clean up after us.”

They’re going after home schooling too, trying to make it illegal or burden with onerous regulation.

“If we did that, we would be fighting our own National Guard troops, and perhaps the regulars.”

Yes, and they would shoot...I never thought that would happen in my lifetime, but I am convinced it is so. The military only has persons of deeply held morale convictions (conservative Christianity) as a minority (they always have been...but they are much smaller than even ten years ago). Real Christians have been unable to stay with the military. The influx of open homosexuals has contributed to this. Goodness, the heads of each service basically told each group that if you don’t like homosexuals, then maybe you don’t belong.

Also, the average American is NOT very moral anymore. So, between having to draw recruits from an immoral population pool, and the military becoming more or less hostile towards conservative Christians....you better realize that those bearing arms for the nation may not hesistate to fire if ordered (something unthinkable 10 years ago). BTW - I hope I and entirely wrong in this estimation/speculation.

“The only real remedy is tar and feather every jackass in Washington. That’ll never happen.”

And who is going to do that? I look at this forum and I see a lot of tough talk. We’re no different than the dumb ass politicians we elected. They talk shit and do nothing before and after their elected coronation. Everyone talks shit and does nothing. The only way anything is going to be or get done is if everyone bands together as one unit. Yeah right, in our dreams. People are still so self absorbed and pointing fingers and blaming everyone we’ll never get off the ground. I mean really, it’s pretty pathetic, we have no leaders in this country... and followers? We all want to be lead but when given direction every rebels because they don’t want anyone telling them what to do. Yep, we’re pretty pathetic sheeple.....

D.C. not being able to hold that many is exactly the cure.

Just completely bring D. C. to a screeching halt.

Leave when the powers that be show that they can comprehend reality.

Put 30 to 40 million people in town, or even the region.

Then let the Left wonder how you ever got that number of people to care enough to take part.

The Supreme Court’s ruling violates the First Amendment!

It is up to ministers to refuse to take part in homosexual
“marriage”. Keep it in perspective: homosexuals represent
a very small minority.

[[Thanks for the copy and pasted Bible verses.]]

You’re welcome -

[[They think that Jesus is going to swoop down and fix all our problems]]

We’ll see who’s right in the end- My money is on Christ because He’s proved Himself for thousands of years-

Behold the Lord as He swoopeth.

(The strange word implies a strawman argument anyhow. It is up to people to get their attitudes right before the Lord, or else they will end up on the goats side rather than the sheep side.)

The only real answer is faith in God...

And who knows, if that were exercised strongly enough, we might not even need to wait for “Jesus to swoop down” before we can get sufficiently unified again.

precisely, the verses I posted described three things- it described the problem, it described WHY the problem was occurring, and it described HOW to rectify the problem- A true problem/solution all In three short verses- Question is, will there be enough of God’s remnant to apply the cure? Too many of us love our pet sins I’m afraid.

Evil has always existed (even much worse than today at times) and the reason it has was always because Christians and Jews disobeyed God - And God brought the plagues and locusts- then told them how to get out of it- (The jews however apparently had to do so as an entire group- Later God tells the remnants what they must do- not the whole group of people)

It is a classic, which has no exact New Testament equivalent, but it illustrates a number of timeless divine attributes. The New Testament mandate is larger. There was no “preach the gospel” in Jewish faith.

The media is the one to attack. They have been pushing the pro-sodomy agenda for decades.

Cut the cable tv. It will only take 10% to get their attention.

Their audience would dwindle if the Lord’s audience grew. People just would not want to listen to the lies any more.

Why do you call civil disobedience something for cowards?


I’m talking civil disobedience... NOW.. in this environment...

The UNIPARTY.. DEMANDS IT...
Congress, the Executive and Supremes DEMAND IT..
Political People that are well beyond the law.. DEMAND IT...
The State of the Justice Department DEMANDS IT..
A Rogue President(and White House..) DEMANDS IT...
Almost total Journalist malfeasance(s) DEMANDS IT...

I could go on and on.. BUT if you’re not in a coma I’ve made my point..
REVOLUTION... is legal by virtue of the 2nd Amendment..
Actually thats what we have the 2nd amendment “FOR”..
NOT civil disobedience.... we’re well past that stage..

You have to allow for time for sides to be formed and opinions to manifest across the broader population. If you don’t, you will be fighting your neighbors..and friends..


You will anyway.. the enemy “IS” your friends and neighbors.. (most of them anyway)..
Was like that in first one TOO.. some may change after the shooting starts.. but not all.
America has been brain washed for 50 years..
