The gathering place for a merry band of Three Percenters.
The Doctrine of the Three Percent.
We will not disarm.
You cannot convince us.
You cannot intimidate us.
You can try to kill us, if you think you can.
But remember, we'll shoot back.
And we are not going away.
Your move.
You cannot convince us.
You cannot intimidate us.
You can try to kill us, if you think you can.
But remember, we'll shoot back.
And we are not going away.
Your move.
As things begin to spin out of control, remember this:
"All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war." -- Billy Beck, August 2009.
From MamaLiberty over at War on Guns:
"Here's an idea...If nobody wants a 'civil disturbance,' why in heck don't they quit disturbing us?"
Indeed.
Indeed.
What is a "Three Percenter"?
During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists. They were in turn actively supported by perhaps 10% of the population. In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored their cause but did little or nothing to support it. Another one-third of the population sided with the King (by the end of the war there were actually more Americans fighting FOR the King than there were in the field against him) and the final third took no side, blew with the wind and took what came.
Three Percenters today do not claim that we represent 3% of the American people, although we might. That theory has not yet been tested. We DO claim that we represent at least 3% of American gun owners, which is still a healthy number somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 million people. History, for good or ill, is made by determined minorities. We are one such minority. So too are the current enemies of the Founders' Republic. What remains, then, is the test of will and skill to determine who shall shape the future of our nation.
The Three Percent today are gun owners who will not disarm, will not compromise and will no longer back up at the passage of the next gun control act. Three Percenters say quite explicitly that we will not obey any futher circumscription of our traditional liberties and will defend ourselves if attacked. We intend to maintain our God-given natural rights to liberty and property, and that means most especially the right to keep and bear arms. Thus, we are committed to the restoration of the Founders' Republic, and are willing to fight, die and, if forced by any would-be oppressor, to kill in the defense of ourselves and the Constitution that we all took an oath to uphold against enemies foreign and domestic.
We are the people that the collectivists who now control the government should leave alone if they wish to continue unfettered oxygen consumption. We are the Three Percent. Attempt to further oppress us at your peril. To put it bluntly, leave us the hell alone. Or, if you feel froggy, go ahead AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

This time we are ALL Davidians. This time, we are all Jews, Kulaks, "counter-revolutionists" and "enemies of the state." We are now a despised minority within a country no longer our own.BUT WE WILL NOT BE DESPISED.

Advice on child rearing from my son.
Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.
"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."
I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken
On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .
Had the Japanese got as far as India. Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.
In the future . . .
When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"
"Smash the bloody mirror."
If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh
From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.
"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."
From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."
From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."
"Only cowards dare cringe."
The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.
"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."
"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said
"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.
"We will not go gently . . ."
This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.
But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.
And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.
-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."
"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.

Once agan anti-gay comments. Why can't you guys live and let live? Any claims of believing in the constitution, liberty, freedom or not being socialists goes rift out the window when you talk about regulating marrage. What's the difference between you and republcans then?
You can't have capitalsm without contracts. Cntracts are a formal Greement between people who choose to associate with each other. So is marriage. The right of freedom of religion and associating are guaranteed by the constitution.
Why sell out your principles over a silly prejudice?
Government at all levels have NO business being involved in the union of two individuals period. The very suggestion that they do is to put government above our creator. What the hell does this piece have to do with a dead elephant political party?

from the essay: "He also stated that Freedom and Liberty is precious and therefore must be strictly rationed."
this is precisely correct. this is what i harp on w.r.t. money. central banks settle their accounts in gold. even if the rest of the market decides scrip is money, and uses it as such, central banks decide with greater leverage to the contrary. like it or not, they exist, and so they have this same market influence as well (should be obvious).
the design of this system is to keep the market anarchy for themselves; to socialize their liabilities.
anonymous: "Cntracts are a formal Greement between people who choose to associate with each other. So is marriage."
incorrect. marriage is consummated at the individual level, but it is blessed by the family, honored by the community, recognized by the entire extended church, and in direct service to god. even the catholics maintain their entire system, on up to the pope, with donations. if you want to be married in any christian sense, then it's "when in rome," or go find another church (try the muslims?).
what you are talking about can only be at best a legal construction, such as civil union. a state created by a constitution cannot force non-participators who just want the legal tax status of "married" into the church. freedom of association is the freedom of the christian association to deny christian marriage to whoever they like.
The man said the UK is a commie country. Just like this place.
To the first anon. poster I say this: why do so many of those who presumably believe in freedom continually look for government sanction of a religious institution (i.e.: marriage)?
Stop trying to redefined what marriage has been for millennia. Do what you want behind closed doors, but don't look for our endorsement of behaviour many of us find immoral.
Heck, I'd be happy if government got out of the business of marriage altogether and just let churches, synagogues, mosques, etc., deal with it and make the legal contract an option, without all the tax benefits. Fits well with most of our anti-income tax views, anyhow.
I posted on my blog not long ago about this with respect to open carry and the disdain with which the hoplophobes look upon it. As believers in individual freedom, we cannot in any way demand that others 'accept' us. Only that they leave us the hell alone. Ditto for homosexual behaviour.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams
Remember that. I don't believe we can demand certain behaviour. But don't expect a civil society to survive if its constituent parts don't follow a certain common code of conduct. Think Chicago (which is now national) politics. I don't doubt that many enmeshed in it truly believe it is normal behaviour. All the while, every goes to sh*t around them.
LGBT do not build,enrich,nor start civilizations, but they do destroy them. Ever hear the phrase, "drank the Kool-Aid?" And if it's live and let live they want, why won't they let us live without their constant whining? Answer: If we look and sound and live like them, then their self-justification is achieved. Discrimination, not prejudice is to be sought. The discrimination that tells you instinctively that something is wrong, not right. And if it's freedom and rights you want, then why can't "straights" be free to choose what THEY want, and the right to make is so? Answer: LGBT are only concerned that THEIR viewpoint is first and foremost. Which is why the Marxists live in LGBT, to destroy the family, society, and the rule of law. Interesting, you used "you can't have capitalism without contracts". Destroying ALL contracts, social, commercial, etc. is the goal of the Marxists. And then they can rule in abject thuggery to their hearts content. LGBT is just a sidebar of their depravity and degeneration.
Would make an excellent leaflet for wide distribution - outstanding.
And to Anony 6:10 - I failed to see any anti-gay comments; the only things that I read which touched on the subject have been the rather undeniable assaults by gay activists on people who do not agree with them - as in California when the People voted clearly against calling a homosexual relationship a 'marriage', and the tolerant California gays reacted by threats, verbal and physical assaults, shrill cries for boycotts and so on.
The simple fact is that words have meanings and definitions, and marriage is, and always has been, a word which means a covenantal and contractual bond between one man and one woman. Period.
If we want, we can argue and riot and threaten and parade to insist that everyone refer to our Buick as an airplane... or to our hat, as a shoe... but if we do so, we delude ourselves that our animosity can make something into something else which it is not.
All in all, I have been fairly present on the patriotic and RKBA scene for more years than I care to think about, and I have never known anyone in my circles who had any animosity toward gays. Most people really don't care that much about what a person does with his or her genitalia, unless they insist on thrusting into public view, as in the Folsom Street parades of perversion - and that does not help gay / straight relations. So, let's not look for hostilities that aren't there and busy ourselves with the threats that apply to everyone. Remember - tyrants and dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Ahmadinejad and others, do not just deny gays the title of 'married partners' - they usually deprive them of freedom or of life itself.
Anonymous,
There are many people who are of a Libertarian persuasion who believe what happens in someone's bedroom is private and many freedom-loving, Constitution-abiding citizens would agree. Then there are those whose religious or moral beliefs would differ, however, that isn't the issue addressed in the essay. Read it again. Read it without personal filters. Read it from the perspective of someone who sees the truth about forcing overwhelming cultural changes not to help you or anyone else achieve equality but to cause confusion, division and ultimately strip you and everyone else of their rights and privileges. Read it with the understanding that forcing divisive change against the will of the people is about control, not freedom. Read further to find out what has happens to gays in strong-arm socialist and communist governments. Read to find out who besides Jews were murdered in Germany's concentration camps. Read to find the truth. You're being used, my friend.
Anonymous 6:10
Societal divisiveness = societal weakness; which leads to what we have today. Ergo, the limey's point.
Its not about the Constitution, or law, its about biblical tradition, American tradition(male/female).
I do agree with you -- The Constitution has no bearing on who you shack up with, and IMO- the state law shouldn't either. But the Bible does.
Our society is made up of primarily Christians. Given that, why do you care so little about offending them? Would you go to Meca and walk backwards around the temple just to spite them? Just because you could? I don't understand why you don't use another word. Just call it contracted, or unioned, joined, partnered, etc. Make up your own word. If its not about the word, but about employee spousal gains, then you'll have to take that up with your employer, not me, anyone on this blog, or the law. Its the employers right to hire you, fire you, give your partner more benefits, less benefits or none at all.
That decision should NOT be in the hands of the government, or the people, it should lie solely with you and your employer. As for the IRS, lets get government out of EVERYONE'S life. Especially the IRS.
And remember, Christians didn't start this turf war of words. Your collectivist, group rights, gay rights, movement did.
The essay is worth reading for an exposition of how the "Left" wins. Some of the comments here are good examples of why.
Regulating the rights and privileges of an individual by his membership in a group is the very essence of collectivism. You will not win by embracing the fundamental principle of your enemy.
Hi Mike,
The 4th paragraph down describing communism,"A group of Professional Revolutionaries..." and the 5th paragraph.."Briefly the left wing is intent to destroy the exixting society and replace it with one of its own design!!" Isn't that what the triumverate,"'Bama,Pull-losey and Reed" are doing as we speak?!!...Only thing I gotta say is..."Whenever the legislators endeavour to takeaway and destroy the property of the people, or reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon 'absolved' from any further obedience."..John Locke.

Jon sez: "...freedom of association is the freedom of the christian association to deny christian marriage to whoever they like."
Backed up, of course, by the coercive power of the state which you can use to gain advantage for yourself by denying it to others.
Nice.
MarkOfAFreeman sez: "...and make the legal contract an option, without all the tax benefits."
Bingo! Give the man a cigar!
There should be no such thing as "a joint (tax) return". There shouldn't be a tax return, period, but let's not go there yet.)
I'd like to say that THIS is what the fight against so-called gay marriage is all about, but I doubt most Christians (sic) have thought about it that fully. They just know in their hearts that gays are not "real" people.
Gay? Be gay, I don't care. I don't want to see it in public. And if gays want to be in 'legal' union call it something other than marriage. The definition of that word is already taken.
I suggest 'kinkered.'

Heh. Never used a tobacco product in my life, but will gladly light up a stoggie to celebrate the day we restore this repubilc, God willing. Especially if our current tyrannts outlaw them.
We used to all be gay until recent years. Life used to be gay. Now decent folk don't have anything to be gay about because the perverts have taken over.
Be gay. Just don't be queer.
There was soooooooo much more presented here...
Why get bogged down in all of the gay crap?
There is some serious SH*T going on over there which we all could learn from...
