Well then...if this spineless, gutless puke doesn't have the fortitude to defend his nation's honor, by all means, he should renounce his so-called "citizenship".

Hm, what sort of honor does a country have when:

It actively supports the murder of the unborn?
It denies "standing" to anyone that would challenge the legitimacy of those in power? (e.g. Obama's eligibility)
It engages in state-sponsored terrorism? (See Fast & Furious)
It denies that targeting those of a politically differing opinion is not acceptable?
It spies on its own citizens without warrant?
It makes laws so vague that you are a felon, just not yet convicted?

"Hm, what sort of honor does a country have when:"

The Republic, the Constitution, and our heritage still have their honor, and those are what I think of when I think of America. Those who have lost their honor -- our institutions, about half of the people and the politicians we/they send to DC and the 50 statehouses -- are half the problem. The rest of the problem, of course, is us...being the other half of the population that are letting them get away with it.

Yes, we have problems as a nation, but remember; every time you point the finger of blame, you point three back at yourself. Everything that "is" in our nation, "is" because we let it be. We're half of the problem, and the entire solution. Let's get busy fixing instead of just bitching about it.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“...Hm, what sort of honor does a country have when: ...”

Hell, that’s not “the Country” brother; that’s just the temporary hired help, and SOME Of it’s citizens. There’s a big difference.

We’re not the first Nation to go through this. But we SHOULD be the first Nation to actively STOP it. And that takes people sticking and staying, and not bugging out.

Some of your own posts over the years - and I’ve read a lot of them - provide rationale and methodology for changing things. You and I have spoken before on issues.

So you haven’t given up, nor have you run away.

Yeah - things suck right now. They COULD suck a whole lot worse. But giving up isn’t - and never was - an option for Americans.

Can we make a difference, each of us, individually? Sure. I became a firearms instructor just so I COULD make a difference. And every new gunny I create is one more Citizen, and one less mind that the other side can indoctrinate. One more mind that says “Hey... WTF are YOU to tell me I can’t own and carry a firearm? This is my RIGHT!”

And that is something the other side hates passionately... an independent, awake soul.

We have a long row to hoe, but that isn’t any different than it ever was, in our long climb to liberty.

What you do - what WE do - matters. People learn from you, even when you’re not trying to teach...
