Thanks, but it's kind of sad to think that where we are now is really much closer to 1861 than most realize.

Still, in the end it doesn't affect our duty. As good line from a great movie put it "What we do here today echoes through eternity."

And if I should be made to pay the supreme price, then I will know that I will not endure more than my father's generation, my grandparent's generation or my great-grandparents generation endured from WWI, WWII and Algeria. In the end, either (a) I will be nothing (in which case I have nothing to fear); or, (b) as my faith teaches me, I may be received by the eternal love of my Redeemer, and re-join the family members I have already lost.

So I will hope for the best, prepare as best I can for the worst, and fear not.

What are you shooting that .338 out of?

"What we do here today echoes through eternity."

Lets say for arguments sake that after all is said and done, we wind up with our country back. Where do we start constitution wise? Will our ggg grandchildren have to do the same thing in 200 years? How would our forefathers have changed things if they were to get a glimpse of the sad state our government has brought upon us now? Was the constitution the absolute best we can hope for? How can we make sure that the courts do not become activist re writers? etc etc.
