Having it both ways on "The Intolerable Act."

Whatever you call it, it is still spelled T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y.

And if you don't believe me, check out "the IRS's vast new ObamaCare powers."

These arent even sneak attacks on liberty anymore. They have grown bold. Will you hold back until it is too late? I have begun to fear that you will......; July 19, 2010 at 12:49 AM
Defender said...: Hmm. Socialist coercion hits 1/4 of the total U.S. economy, the health care industry.
Buy federal health insurance even if you prefer pay-as-you-go, or pay a fine.
Don't pay the fine, and what? They gonna garnish the nonexistent wages of people who are unemployed? (Seize their jobless benefits?)
Arrest and jail?
When THAT starts, ugliness will also.; July 19, 2010 at 1:04 AM

Organize and prepare. Organize and prepare. No one is yet ready, not them, not us. Remember our inherent strengths and take not counsel of your fears. We can and will win, but we must be of all things patient, calm, deliberate. They will overstep finally, irrevocably. Their appetites compel them. But we must take every second they give us to get out own shit together.

They expect to be able to provoke us. The essence of victory is to never do what your enemy expects and at the same time never become the evil your enemy represents.

Is this easy? Hell no. But this is the way of the Founders. And we all know that in the end they "played the game the right way."

Redouble, re-triple your efforts. Time is short and quit worrying about what advantage they may make of what is left. Just make sure YOU use it wisely.

No frigging Fort Sumters. Period.

Don't worry. Lexington Green awaits. Indeed. It is the least of your worries.

Worry instead about how to win our equivalents of Concord Bridge, Breeds Hill, Kings Mountain, Cowpens and Yorktown.

TRAIN.

PREPARE.

Carefully figure out what you are going to do to the enemies of the Republic when they finally, irrevocably start the fray.; July 19, 2010 at 7:14 AM

"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

"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.

"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.
