One response that I rather suspect will be rejected by both sides, but we will see. "3% OF IDAHO OFFICIAL PRESS RELASE AND CALL TO ACTION."

Pacific Patriots Network and 3% of Idaho.

PRESS RELEASE - 08 January 2016

Immediate Call to Action
In response to concerns of Federal agencies intervening at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, The Pacific Patriot Network (PPN) and its associated organizations are releasing an Immediate Call to Action to secure a perimeter around the Wildlife Refuge; it’s occupiers, and the citizens of Harney County. We wish to establish a safety perimeter of protection for the occupiers so as to prevent a Waco-style situation from unfolding during this peaceful occupation. The primary intention of this outer-ring is to bear witness to any aggressive action initiated by federal agencies or the occupiers, and to encourage an open dialogue towards a peaceful resolution. We will serve as a neutral third-party intermediary to prevent bloodshed. In congruence with the concerns of the citizens of Harney County, The PPN and its affiliated organizations will operate with respect and professionalism so as to not elevate fears within the community. As outsiders, we recognize our responsibility to maintain both peace and civility during our presence. To further demonstrate our non-aggressive posture, military style or tactical clothing will not be authorized for this operation. It is imperative that the Nation recognizes the importance and sanctity of all lives in this situation. While the PPN does not condone nor encourage the execution of the Wildlife Refuge occupation, we have a duty and responsibility to ensure that a peaceful resolution is reached.
Please contact Brooke Agresta if you have any questions.

Someone dressed in camo who speaks knowledgeably and articulately and convincingly.
Quite frankly, this sounds EXACTLY like all the "directions" given by the NRA that I have attended over the years.

Kiss butt, do as you are told to, conform, be more like them so they like you better.
Hate to break it to you, nothing you wear is going to change their minds. No tone you offer will be good enough. All that is served by "looking more and acting more like them" is conning people into being something they are not.

Adopting their language, their style, THEIR RULES is what they want, across the board. And this pathetic bit plays right into it. bowing like that is part of the problem.

If we want them to respect us for who we are, gun owners, rights defenders, then how about we just BE that, as we are, and show them we will not indeed back even one more inch....and start by wearing what clothes we darn well please to wear?; January 8, 2016 at 10:06 PM

I agree. Stop the hand.-wringing.; January 9, 2016 at 10:09 AM

Nemesis said...: Read in the Daily Mail about a character who has been holding out in armed resistance for 16 years finally standing down because the Law, in his instance, can longer can touch him - statute of limitations!

However, within the Law, there is no statute of limitations in taking over a federal government building with the purpose of forcing concessions from the federal government. That is called insurrection, and even a non-tyrannical law abiding government needs to act on that!

So, while the Feds fiddle with all kinds of scenarios on how to end this provocation, this stand-off will tend to suck in much from outside its self-imposed perimeter, such as we are now seeing from the three percenters of Idaho.

And, instead of what some folks have been saying, this stand off looks to be blooming and not dying out as some would wish. Maybe some planning for a much bigger event than originally thought possible now needs to be undertaken.; January 9, 2016 at 4:36 PM

"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.
