What Are Our Options When the Constitution No Longer Protects Us?

As I recall, our forebears revolted over far less than we swallow regularly. Have we become so soft that we have no will to fight? Or if we fight, should we never be able to rest? I realize that we all want to believe that we are making a difference, and maybe in some small way we are, but how long will we be able to swim against the tide? What are the chances that we can turn it around? I don't mean to be fatalistic, but I am very discouraged. Perhaps there is something I have not considered. I fear for the future our children will inherit. How are you coping? What are you teaching your children? Where do you see the USA in 10 years? 20 years? What is the legacy of our generations?

What Are Our Options When the Constitution No Longer Protects Us?

Revolution.

[Radix]

At the risk of being perceived as a fanatic, I offer this:

 

 

 

Acts 2
³⁷   Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

If the 9th circus does this for real then I DECLARE THEM UNCONSTITUIONAL/NULL & VOID(of course I know about Jury Nullification...Nothing will piss off a "judge" more than those words in a "courtroom"

"What brought this on?"

I suppose listening to one too many liberals talk s**t and seeing these degenerate faggots parading around the streets of every city in America celebrating yet another victory over the Constitution; while most of our lawmakers care little what the majority of us believe and continue to pander to the lowest common denominator.

"Revolution."

What do you think it would take to actually push most of us to that point?

[sweetliberty]

What is fanatical about that?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Gun control might do it.

[B.O. Plenty]

Here is the answer......I liked it from the first time I read it...I have dreamed for a long time of the Free and independent Republic of Texas....It was once....it can be again.

It's Time to Part Company

Well, I actually thought about modifying the cartoon to read "Supreme Court", but I am not comfortable with changing someone's copyrighted work. But the point is still the same. They're all different heads of the same beast.

[brewcrew]

What do you think it would take to actually push most of us to that point?

I've entertained that question for most of the last decade, and I'm still not sure. I am becoming more sure that most people cannot be pushed to that point becasue they just don't care enough about anything.

But as a good friend once said: In the meantime, I'll practice my marksmanship.

An economic collapse would get most Americans to finally pull their heads out of their A$&, and social liberals and self proclaimed economic conservatives will have plenty to worry about when this happens.

[Cold Heat]

Oh!I see...........

Well, I don't think they have a darn thing to celebrate. The two guys who got off do, but I don't think the gay agenda was advanced. It was not hurt, but I cannot see any advance. They are misinterpreting what the majority of the justices on the winning side of the case were trying to get across.

Unfortunately they failed to be clear enough. There will be another case and I will watch that one with interest. A challenge will come that they want to judge and it will likely be next year.

I know many FReepers have given this a lot of thought and have ideas about how to cope if/when the current climate becomes unbearable. Desperate times call for desperate measures and it seems we are fast approaching desperation.

You might try some ideologue fringe militia nutcase forum instead. Most of the FReepers who have given a lot of thought to sedition, survivalism, and despair are not posting here anymore.

Do we move away, find a deserted island somewhere?

No. Keep your head down and have plenty of 500 rd. bricks of .22 L.R. on hand- The wampum of the post apocalypse.

I seem to recall reading that before. Seems at least a viable option, but the problem is that it would require secession, and besides the fact that many American patriots are resistant to ever considering it, there is also the fact that the remaining government would never stand for the loss of revenue that would ensue. I am not dismissing it, just pointing out that it would have serious ramifications. While the article talks about peaceful separation without secession, I think that would be impossible in the long run for the simple reason that we would still be bound by the increasingly unconstitutional tyranny of the federal courts.

[FloridaBoy]

You are so right. This country has fought for independence and freedom before and probably would do so again.
