Be A Refusenik!
Original Content | December 5, 2015 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 12/05/2015 5:49:09 PM PST by Lazamataz

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.

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."

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?

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.

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

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?
