War is coming. It is best to abandon our illusions and prepare for it. We're past the point of debate. We cannot and will not be able to vote or talk our way out of it. It is not a matter of if, it is merely a matter of when. 09/11 altered the timetable somewhat, and it did have the beneficial effect on some folks akin to that of a bucket of ice water in the face. But it didn't take long for the rats and the vermin to crawl back out from under their rocks, agendas and intent intact.

War is coming. Some may prefer to remain passive until the conflict reaches them. Others may prefer a more proactive approach, especially with respect to certain anti-American, anti-Constitutional apparatchiks, i.e., the politicians who believe that they rule with impunity.

War is coming. The Republic will be restored on the graves of traitors, patriots and innocents alike. Perhaps we'll learn something this time around.

War's already here.

It's just that day to day lowgrade kind of a thing. One things for sure though, it's going to get a lot uglier.

Regards,

Amen! Thanks for getting to the real issue: Where is the question on the list relating to "preparations"?

Of course, with your having peeled back the layers of feel-good crap to get at the core of the issue, the dramatic PC change in the FR landscape over the past couple of years will now dictate the deletion of this thread.

Perhaps, but does it have to be that way?

In previous centuries, probably so. But let's look at the two great victories for tyranny in the previous century: The New Deal, and the cultural revolution of the 1960's.

In neither case did the opponents of liberty have to resort to open warfare (at least on a large scale). Instead, they used political and social means to attack freedom. Yet they were still incredibly successful in radically altering the character and direction of America.

Instead of thinking about guerrila war and insurrection, maybe we should study those two movements and use elements from them in our counter-offensive.
