To: right way right
Our founding fathers were in many cases very wealthy men who had not only their wealth to lose, but they were also facing the certainty that if their rebellion failed they would all be hung for treason against the king. Yet today, we have a lot of self-described “patriots” who won’t take even the slightest personal risk in order to defend their country. I see it all the time, and it’s mostly because no matter what they say, they value the nice cars or the beautiful house or even their social relationships more than they value freedom and the founding principles that made those material comforts possible.

I really do hate to say it, but a lot of our Trump-supporting, Gadsden flag-waving brothers and sisters simply won’t do even a fraction of what the founding fathers did, or what they warned us would ALWAYS be necessary for us to do to preserve our freedoms. Sure, they say all the right things when there is no personal risk for doing so, but suddenly hem and haw when words must turn into action. I think far too many people believe the right things, but as soon as they see that their beliefs might require more of them than they are willing to provide they tell themselves that that is “crazy talk.”

However, evil NEVER sleeps, and it never shies from doing WHATEVER is necessary to advance its agenda (see my tag line). The left is VERY active and determined, with no mental constraints or limits to their actions, while we sit worrying that we might lose a job or a comfy lifestyle or some friends. So, we tell ourselves that to act would be “crazy”, or we rationalize our inaction by saying, “The left has already won; nothing we can do.”

If that’s the way you think, then you might as well stop calling yourself a “patriot” right this second, and do what you can to negotiate yourself a slightly larger portion of gruel from your Marxist masters.

I wonder how many would agree with you, if you posted that as a vanity.
I would not.
I have much to attend to in my life right now but, I would put it on hold to revolt against what is happening now.
I am willing to violently revolt and perhaps die.
Our politicians should be crapping their pants right now....them, and all of their willing accompanists.

Some men need to be reminded that better men than we are left bloody footprints on frozen ground at Valley Forge and their very life’s blood on foreign fields and beaches to secure our freedoms.

I don’t wish to die but I owe many a great debt, especially to those founders who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor.

I would rather die fighting for my grandchildren’s freedom rather than live to see them enslaved.

I don’t think we are at that point yet but the Minutemen were ready before they were needed.

Plus we already have our General Washington!
