Be A Refusenik!

In the old Soviet Union, there was a class of citizen known as the Refusenik. In Russian, the word was отказник, pronounced 'otkaznik'. There were two definitions for this label: One, people who were not allowed to emigrate -- especially Russian Jews -- and two, people who willfully disobeyed laws as a form of protest.

As America careens into a fascist state most reminiscent of the former Soviet Union, it will be necessary and useful to adopt the techniques of the oppressed citizenry of that empire. As free speech is squelched via 'hate speech' laws, we will need to adopt the Samizdat model of distributing free information and opinions (more on that in another editorial soon). As the nation’s laws are slowly ratcheted down to control and harass people -- rather than uplift and uphold the Constitution, and remove barriers to interaction -- it will be necessary to become a Refusenik.

This petulant man-child, this President Stompy-foot, needs to be told "NO". In a firm voice, and with no anger whatsoever, simply tell him "NO". I promise you it is not a word he has heard often....or often enough.

Some of us will suffer greatly, in the Refusenik Movement. I expect to be one of those, since I am launching the concept. I expect to be 'made an example of'. I do not care. Some things are more important than life itself....such things as liberty, such things as the heritage of our country, such things as our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

• Obama plans sweeping changes to the Brady Act and the background check system. He will essentially rewrite the law to call anyone who sells a certain number of guns a year, a dealer who needs to run background checks on buyers. More ominously, he may twist the law and insert legislation that is simply not there, and say that anyone who sells a gun without owning it for a year is a dealer. This is utterly unconstitutional legislation-writing on the part of the Executive Branch. This back-door registration will allow Obama to more easily track firearms for eventual confiscation.
  
  I will not comply. I will be a Refusenik. I urge everyone to do the same.
  
  
• Obamacare was forced down our throats by a series of treacherous Senate and House moves, and upheld by a compromised and likely blackmailed Chief Justice Roberts. It requires a penalty for those who do not insure.
  
  I am covered by my company, but if I was not, I would not comply. I would be a Refusenik. I would urge everyone to do the same.
  
  
• The aptly-named Attorney General Lynch has declared that we may not speak harshly about Muslims in the wake of our first ISIS shooting attack on domestic soil. She has promised the full weight of the Federal government will ply prosecution on those who violate this utterly unconstitutional demand. Leaving aside for a second the lack of any law to prosecute a person who speaks against Muslims, this is a clear and direct violation of the First Amendment.
  
  I will not comply. I will be a Refusenik. I urge everyone to do the same.

I could go on, and name any number of outrageous, tyrannical, and unconstitutional efforts this utterly uncontrolled administration is attempting, but I see no point in iterating each one. The concept is clear.

Refuse to comply. Be a Refusenik. Urge others to do the same.

This shall be the symbol of the Refusenik Movement:

Include it wherever you post. It is our modern-day Gadsen Flag.

By virtue of simply posting on this site and disagreeing with the Soetoro regime, we are all Refuseniks. Therefore, it makes little sense for anyone on here to further refuse to throw down the gauntlet and dare the feds to enforce their unconstitutional nonsense; if enough people resist, the feds will be disempowered.

Tell the gun-grabbers, the Islamophiles, and the Soetoro-care bureaucrats to go suck it!

Oh, and please add me to your ping list, Laz.

Just posting here, means nothing. Plenty of liberal republicans slinking around.

Also: I want a name for the disobedience. I want a symbol. These are important things.

We need to specifically commit to civil -- or UNCIVIL -- disobedience. We need to be in their faces with our middle fingers.

I misspelled Gadsden, and one of those bothersome curly quotes snuck past me.

Curly quotes? "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."

Nice!

That's why I added the qualifier "criticizes Obama/liberals". I think the Leftist posters here would refuse to call him the loser that he is (they won't directly defend him, but they'll try to blame you for daring to disagree with him). They're also the losers who go around threads yelling at people who call criminals Leftists.

For a symbol, what if this image is modified with the "Don't tread on me" snake?

Bumpity-Bump-Bump-BUMP! :)

I refuse to even accept the premise of the so-called arguments.

Gun control is civil war. Tell the totalitarians just that.

I am an American. That’s strong enough to refuse liberalism.

I refuse too. I’m sticking to being a Nogoodnik.
It’s all I know and I’m good at being a Nogoodnik.

I refuse to tell my doctor how many guns we have in the house!

He hasn’t ask yet but when he does I plan to refuse!

[Paladin2]

I had my quack inquire a decade ago. Even though he has fixed me up fine, He’s now on my list....

I know my doctor is a lib. When Obamacare was first discussed he told my husband that it would be good for us and good for him.

What did you tell your doctor when he asked about your guns?
