You need something.
Not sure how to reply to multiple folks so:
To eartick and rockinqsranch,
I guess the short version is this: I spent 20 yrs in the mil, I fought for this nation, I bled for this nation, and my friends died for it.
Not to sound cliché, but I’d bleed on the flag to keep it red.
Surrender monkey? Not in the least. Then again, only a fool would throw his life away by going up against an overwhelming force when there is even an infinitesimal chance of another option.
Look at what we’re up against: debt that we can’t afford to pay because we don’t make have enough income (goods to sell), an immigration problem that is so bad it’s almost indescribable, our USSC decided it’s OK for .gov to force us under penalty of the law to buy health care insurance,
Racidal Islam is infiltrating everywhere, and on and on and on.
Fight those things?
Show me an entity with enough power to stop...heck even curtail...any one of those things.
The power of the pen? IE: Legislation? Who in the heck is gonna write that Legislation, let alone sign it?
Who is in our corner? Earlier a poster mentioned “change from within.”
Cool, but who is gonna effect that change? He mentioned that it may be of a subversive nature.
Frankly, you’d really have to show me the money that there are pols in place that will change this nation. IE: repeal Zer0Care, deport the illegals and build the wall, decrease our nation spending and debt, ad nauseum.
Almost every single pol in place - at least publically - is either a Liberal or GOPe. If enough are lying about their true positions, they best get it in gear RFN because time is running out.
The endeavor to destroy this nation doesn’t just have origins within our borders, it’s outside as well. Easiest just to say: I believe Golitsyn. Some good reading here although the old Forum was better: http://thefinalphase.proboards.com/
This nation will slowly keep sliding further left, folks will keep believing in voting for the lesser of 2 evils and they’ll keep telling those that voted 3rd party they lost the election.
The Dems will keep pushing for more and more Socialist-like programs, and the GOPe will keep sliding further and further left also, bolstered by the lesser of 2 evil voters.
One day we’ll wake up and full blown Socialism will be here. Actually that’ll probably be in 50 yrs so I’ll be dead and gone. But it will happen.
The pen will not fix what’s happening as there is no one willing to wield it, and now is not the time for other measures; that time is yrs away.
I had a friend who heralded the election of a local mayor. To hear her talk the new mayor would be able to repeal Zer0Care. The reality is that mayor was stonewalled on every occasion by the Town Council, etc. When his term was up he didn’t even seek re-election he was so frustrated.
So for now I’m enjoying my life, my family, and my friends. Tomorrow I’ll be out blasting around the woods on my dirt bike (motorcycle), the next weekend I’ll be racing, and in between those days I’ll go to the range maybe twice.
But you can bet your name calling self that if one day there is a truly meaningful and viable fight I’ll be there. But there won’t be a pen anywhere near me.
