What is that spirit that we recognize and can build on? What is that spirit that we want to connect to … that spirit of rebellion? The spirit of resistance ... the spirit of insurgency! It’s that spirit we should be talking about.
—Bill Ayers, 2007, on the occasion of the 40-year anniversary of the Weather Underground
Perhaps his wife, Bernadine Dohrn expressed that “spirit” best in a public warning at the zenith of the Weather Underground’s influence:
Now we are everywhere and next week families and tribes will attack the enemy around the country. We’re not just attacking targets; we’re bringing the pitiful, helpless giant (the USA) to its knees. Guard your planes … guard your colleges … guard your banks … guard your children … guard your doors.
This election long ago ceased to be a partisan battle between Republicans and Democrats. It really isn’t a contest over big and small government, higher or lower taxes, or even abortion and homosexual rights.
Somewhere along the way while most of us were enjoying our precious freedoms, taking kids to soccer, ordering pizza and listening to our iPods, there was another group of people who were at work to destroy America. Even as they enjoyed with us its benefits, they schemed and planned and, moment by moment, inch by inch gained a footing and we never realized the ground was shifting.
You could say the groundwork was laid in the ’50s when radicals who were often synonymous with communists made a concerted attempt to destroy America through infiltration of media, government and labor unions. Top secret documents were leaked to the Soviets which resulted in the charge of treason for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. America believed in punishing its traitors then and they paid with their lives.
The children of the ’60s, raised in postwar prosperity on the “don’t discipline” philosophy of the wildly popular Dr. Benjamin Spock, were fertile young plants for leftist fodder. Throwing off all constraints, they embraced “free love,” unbridled drug use and turned with a vengeance on the parents whose system of values they had come from. Their indulgent refusal to embrace rules, coupled with legitimate simmering emotions of the black community over cruelty and discrimination, created the “perfect storm” of protest and violence—one group rejecting any restraint, the other rebelling from too much of it.
Surely the protest methods were as different as the participants. Hippies were often little more than clueless spoiled brats dulled by drugs, but others were serious radicals who preyed upon trouble and agitated it with the stated purpose of revolution. They wanted to overthrow the government of the United States of America. The black movement was characterized on the one hand by the high-minded non-violence of Dr. Martin Luther King, and on the other by the violent anger of the Black Panthers. The hate-filled factions of each, black and white, found each other and together nearly shipwrecked the country and undermined the Vietnam War. It was success for the rebellion in part … but not completely.
As those frustrated radicals came of age, they realized they would have to game the system, and improve their plans to accomplish their goals. They got advanced degrees and begin to fill colleges and universities. They slowly infiltrated the professional organizations of almost every major field of endeavor—education, medicine, retired citizens and unions. Gradually, these professional associations began to use their members’ money to fund leftist causes. Leftist leaders spoke for their membership as if they had the right. And perception became reality for the members. Then they did what all socialist regimes have done … they radicalized public school. They virtually eliminated the American story from history, removed civics, dumbed down math and science and English with outcome-based education. It became more important that kids had the right “thinking” on social and environmental issues than that they understood the academic disciplines. They took over law school faculties, co-opted many mainline Christian denominations—like Methodists and Presbyterians—and subtly replaced the teachings of scripture on man’s need for redemption with emphases on social justice and helping the poor. Man could now obtain his own redemption without any inconvenient mention of sin or moral behavior.
Once again they infiltrated Hollywood and news media, this time without consequence. In fact they managed to turn the consequences upon those opposing leftist views. They produced movies and reported news designed to support their view of the country—and it wasn’t a good one.
As with the communist agitators in Western Europe and later China, they learned to agitate, to find trouble and make it worse. Natural disasters, strikes, environmental concerns, the method was the same. Agitate. Stir up. Scare people and make things worse than they were so that people would look to their movement for “change.”
For nearly four decades, while we were living our lives and enjoying our freedoms, they were working diligently to destroy them. And now their plans have found the perfect personification in the handsome and charismatic Senator Barack Obama. But while he seems to bring new inspiration, their philosophy is as old as time.
They know who their inspiration is: Saul Alinsky, the ’60s author and philosopher of the left who profoundly influenced Hillary Clinton, Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn and Barack and Michelle Obama. Alinksy stated clearly in the dedication of his famous treatise, “Rules for Radicals”:
To the very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom—Lucifer.
The rebellion has found new strength. The attempted destruction of America has begun—and it is not a partisan fight.
True. We all know we are not going to lock and load, but, I think the theme of this thread is what if we had to? What would it take to reach that point?
This is what freedom of discussion is all about ... talking about a subject.
And a brand new version of Hitlers jack booted thugs.
How many solid red states are there, 20? It wouldn’t take much of a population shift for conservatives to take over 30 or more states, and take back the nation. All we need is 61 senators and the liberal agenda is finished. And any executive order from the president would be unenforceable. If we were serious about stopping the left takeover, we could do it inside of two years. And what does it take 34 state legislatures to call for a constitutional convention? We could have a bloodless revolution, and reshape this nation. Albeit with great personal sacrifice.
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Any attempts by the left to subvert the Constitution to achieve their Marxist ideologue should be meet by silence and inaction by the defenders of the Constitution
We will have much more influence and success by resisting thoughtfully and steadfastly than by throwing around loose talk of armed confrontation.

We’re just planning for the worst and hoping for the best. I don’t think we want to find ourselves flat-footed if the situation deteriorates to the point of anarchy and a time when talk should give way to action
Perhaps you are correct, I sure hope so. However, if something does not happen fast, and I mean really fast, I don't see much RICO stuff happening after and if Obama is elected.
I don't see Bush having the stones or the support to declare martial law.
The Berg thing seems like a longshot, but truthfully, I don't know anymore than I have read here.
In talks with the family and friends recently, it has become clear to many of us that now, we need to focus on taking care of ourselves should the need arise. That means we have to pay attention and have plans B, C, and D should the stuff hit the fan.
I do have hope, but not much confidence. Thanks again.

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!
McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!
WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.
HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??
.
McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
FReep ‘EM OUT!
CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?
REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!
FReep ‘EM!!!!

IMPORTANT
Be sure to add your name and town and email - or they won’t read them.
When emailing. they won’t read mass emails so put just one email add in the “to” line then click on BBC at the end of that line. a BCC line will open just above subject line. copy paste the rest of the addresses in there and each recipient will see ONLY their name.
The Revolutionary War or Civil War were not riots
To say such a thing show an ignorance of the english language or a lack of understanding history.
War is an organized armed conflict: A riot is a turbulent disturbance created by a large number of people.
Good ideas up to here. Anything on the web can be seen. Better to hand the data off to trusted people on a CD or hard copy.
The left is very good at this, they run for office, they get in the seats of power. Sarah P. should be our role model, she did it pretty much on her own because she had the core beliefs. If you are not a good speaker find a fellow conservative that is and raise money for them to run. I truly believe this is the only way to take it back from them.
second “him=You”. more coffee...
How do you get elected to public office when the word Republican is a dirty word in your town. When a Republican does have the guts to run for public office with an R after their name instead of an I, they get less than 50 votes.
is mr. ayers threatening the population at large? is he doing what bomb-throwing, indiscriminate murderers do? is his rhetoric a preview of what is to come if obama is elected?
just a few questions. (inquiring minds want to know)
IMHO
Me too. I believe her name is Allison Krause and I remember reading somewhere long ago that she was only fourteen years old at the time. She sure didn’t look fourteen to me.
Strangely enough, that woman was later identified as a runaway from home who wasnt even a student at Kent State.
Maybe use an offshore website. Only add things through untraceable sources, colleges, libraries, Starbucks, etc.
Maybe some one more technically astute can give some advice hoe this can work.
Have you ever heard of T.A.G? It was an interesting principal along the same lines about 10 years ago.
