We all hear of Fort Sumter, but that was just the firing.<br /><br />The trigger was pulled two weeks before. In Montgomer.<br /><br />The trigger was the South's official Ultimatums to the North. There were five of them.<br /><br /> Do you know what the Southern Ultimatums were? <br /><br />Well everyone knew then, about them. They were headlines in the papers, North and South.<br /><br /> The Richmond paper headline was "The TRUE ISSUE!"<br /><br /> Lincoln would not, and could not, obey these ultimatums, so the South attacked.<br /><br />When you learn what the Southern Ultimatums were -- you will also see why the South has tried to ignore these Ultimatums. <br /><br />Google Southern Ultimatums March of 1861, and learn a little. Learn what "the true issue" was-- according to Southern leaders and the newspapers.<br /><br />These demands -- issued by the very same people who wrote the Southern Constitution and created their government ---are the best possible way to see what the South wanted, and what THEY said the war was about, at the time. <br /><br /> Not what some historian said, but what the Southern leaders said officially, loudly, and proudly.Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206503506011763393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-72997754202827355122010-11-24T01:34:40.636-06:002010-11-24T01:34:40.636-06:00Oh nonsense -- no one goes to jail for not buying ...Oh nonsense -- no one goes to jail for not buying health care.<br /><br />What balderdash. Why can't you refute health care plan, without making up nonsense? <br /><br />There is plenty about the health care plan to critisize and repeal, without such tripe. <br /><br />And if you want to change health care, here is a clue, change it. Elect the people you want, or run yourself. Is that too hard for you to grasp?<br /><br />What kind of insanity is this? <br /><br />You clearly can not be upset about a healthcare plan that you don't even know. The health care plan you hate does not exist. <br /><br />I can only assume you just want "social points" for being angry. Like some little kid pouting for effect.<br /><br />Personally I'm opposed to Obama's health care plan, I think it was vastly overdone, and far too giving to fat cats and insurance companies. But that's just me.<br /><br />I don't threaten and act macho duck cause I didn't get my way.<br /><br />Everyone can't get their way, fido. Figure that out. So what's your logic? Something happen you don't like? So you get macho.<br /><br />Well go for it. But that is not how a republic is supposed to work. You don't get everything you want.<br /><br />Do you realize that? Some people are gonna was no pollution laws, others want crazy strict pollution laws. Eventually that's worked out politically, which means people vote, and probably compromise.<br /><br />Likewise on health care. Or speed limits. You don't get everythig you want.<br /><br />Figure that out. It's called growing up.Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206503506011763393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-75876742866879776512010-08-30T08:37:12.645-05:002010-08-30T08:37:12.645-05:00Keep preaching Mike.

McVeigh and Nichols could have been part of a larger govt false flag or even agents of a foreign power. Read THE THIRD TERRORIST by Jana Davis. <br />Also, we still have a few months of wiggle room until November second. Use that time to plan and prepare for whatever you see is going to happen in your AO. Also, watch the economy. Barry and his minions cannot control the laws of economics. Their plunge protection team and quantitative easing policies cannot keep the rotten house of cards propped up indefinitely. As I wrote in an earlier post, an economic meltdown means chaos in the big cities, where so many of the parasite class live. Think of one thousand Katrinas, one thousand Rodney King riots.

But I see where having it go hot at the right time, for the right reason, with the proper buildup of events is important for success. I guess I knew it all along, its just so easy to want this to begin sometimes. Hell, maybe shooting can be avoided! We just dont know. <br /><br />While I believe that every day that passes makes gaining victory harder, it is just the hand we are dealt I guess. The public's support is one of the biggest reasons to hold off and wait. And even if we were not going to consider public support, Who are we going to fight? lol seriously? <br /><br />I am glad to have done some thinking on this subject. I still want what I want, but it is not the right time or place for that yet. And if it can be avoided, even better.<br /><br /><br />Thank you Dakota for an earlier comment to a post I made. Its really helped me reconsider how I was thinking about this whole subject. I can want whatever I want, but I shouldnt kid myself and believe that I am in control of anything.

Sometimes those are extreme and affect others as well. Sometimes they can't be avoided, no matter what you do. <br /><br />This is especially true when you know that you are a target, among others, and you suspect "they" won't be stopped and can't be reasoned with. That "they" will have it "their" way, regardless of any prohibition to the contrary which previously was the understood "law of the land." <br /><br />That the options that will be offered are to surrender the country, your rights and your children's rights or be imprisoned or die. Surrender your constitution, bill of rights and liberty, become "their" slave, or be imprisoned or die.<br /><br />So you hope that everything holds together, just a little longer. Point being that "they" will be very willing to gallantly sacrifice as many tax dollars and government personnel it requires, to win. But not themselves or their friends. Well, maybe their friends but certainly not them.<br /><br />The time is coming because "they" will not stop or be reasoned with. "They" feel that "they" don't have to listen anymore and moreover, that "they" can win.

When G.W. Bush said: "It's just a G-damn piece of paper", he was entirely correct in that statement. That piece of paper is nothing without the will to ensure that it is enforced and adhered to. And it was your betters who placed that burden on YOU, YOU, YOU ... and ME.<br /><br />What we had: "A republic madam ... if YOU can keep it."<br /><br />How to keep it: "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."<br /><br />Your "soft slow revolution" is a pipe dream.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/22msunb" rel="nofollow">Here is your "soft slow revolution"!</a> Compromise! Status Quo! Appeasers. The definition of which is: You can whip us, but not as hard. Or: We don't want to get there tomorrow. Can you wait until the day after?<br /><br />Whatever. Lets just get it done folks. If your bag of tea is throwing rocks ... then throw them. If it is sticking stickers on bathroom walls ... then stick them. If it is knocking down signs ... then knock down. Personally, for myself, I am working on the minds and hearts of people I talk to. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose ... but to the ones I lose, they were lost in the beginning anyhow. To those I win, it is one more less mind, body, and spirit for the lost.<br /><br />I don't tremble for my country anymore. My country deserves what it gets for its apathy and loss of moral character and it deserves it good and hard. I do tremble for my family and my friends ... AND ... some of you.
