Oh YE of little faith, shame sir, SHAME! <br />LOL <br /><br /><br />Richard, <br /><br />If the keepers would quit feeding & empowering the kept, things wouldn't be nearly as screwed up as they are. The infuriatingly sad facts are that there are far too many who want to have a say in how things go but don't want to be held responsible when the things they supported turn out bad, & that there are far too many who allow themselves to be either persuaded or browbeaten into not meting out justice to the aforementioned morons &/or psychotics whose "good intentions" usually end up enslaving or murdering big chunks of humanity.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous @ 4:54pm, <br /><br />That possibility bothers me no end, & the prospect of Americans having fallen into such a European state of degradation should torment you as well since you'll also suffer the results arising from said cowardly corruption.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous @ 5:03pm, <br /><br />Although it pains me mightily to do so, I have to agree w/ your assessment. But that doesn't mean that the population should renounce use of the Founder's "Final Option" &, like the majority of Europe's Jews, submit to the Imperium & hope that what they have planned for us won't hurt too much. History shows that resistance isn't always futile, but it is usually quite costly & that's the best reason to take action BEFORE things get too far gone instead of "being nice" & thereby cause Churchill's warning about timing to come to pass. <br /><br /><br />Anonymous @ 6:51pm,<br /><br />Nice albeit depressing rebuttal to Anon 4:54pm.<br /><br /><br />TPaine, <br /><br />Your/others similarly eager anticipation of a 2d CW reminds me of the "Fire Eaters" that were around @ the time of the first one. They too were filled w/ p*ss & vinegar & had big, throbbing "lemme @ 'em!" erections poised for war. GRRRR! Thing is, once the party had been underway for awhile & it became obvious that their side would lose, those same "eager beavers" became hard to find & when the cost for the "2d American Revolution" was tallied, they acted just like Peter did when asked about his connection to Christ. IMO, one should be wracked w/ sorrowful anger over such a terrible circumstance being all but certain to occur but once it does, the only emotion that should be felt is what Teddy Roosevelt (or was it Churchill?) termed "cruel joy".<br /><br /><br />FatBaldyCaver(ret),<br /><br />Amen. Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, & Von Clausewitz sure had things pegged. Funny how it's usually the 'military types' who're that way, isn't it.<br /><br /><br />Anonymous @ 7:16am, <br /><br />Have you considered that if things get too close for the Imperium to effectively handle, they may declare the rebels to be "terrorists" & claim that the nation's in SUCH danger that there's no choice but to invoke the appropriate section of the NATO Charter & call for "assistance"? If you doubt that such would be accepted by the American people, recall what it was that caused Europeans to be involved in Afghanistan & Iraq after 9-11. <br /><br /><br />Cassandra (of Troy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-7932536197260755772010-03-19T10:25:24.532-05:002010-03-19T10:25:24.532-05:00Malthus,
Don't make the mistake of assuming ...Malthus, <br /><br />Don't make the mistake of assuming that enough of the public agrees w/ you to make a difference. Remember the meaning of 3% & realise that even that figure is likely to be a very optimistic one given the proclivity of most to run their mouths & then find some "reason" not to honor their exclamations ("I can't go/help, I have a family") & will get hostile if reminded of what they said. A sad thing, but also all too true & something to ponder.<br /><br /><br />Ahab, <br /><br />What I said to Malthus. <br /><br /><br />PioneerPreppy, <br /><br />Fits not only the available facts, but the M.O. as well.<br /><br /><br />J3,<br /><br />True, but also understand that those you list don't necessarily need to have that kind of experiential skill as they can usually get others w/ such abilities to do for them. Recall that the majority of those who "protested" against the Viet Nam war had no idea that they were the "useful fools" of Giap, Mao, & Brezhnev, & still don't believe so even after their status as such was partially confirmed by Giap himself & also the Soviet archives. What most if not all of the pseudo-"elite" on the Left & to a lesser extent those on the "conservative"/"Right" either don't or won't get is there's more than a few who will back their play & don't especially give a damn how the proles feel about it. <br /><br /><br />Anonymous@3:50pm, <br /><br />While I agree w/ the premise of the first part of your comment, i.e., that some of an organism must be removed if the rest is to recover & thrive, I nonetheless wonder if Americans have the intellectual/moral toughness to actually look @ things as they are & excise the rot from the side they support. For example, how many on the "Right" understand that even though such as Gingrich, Limbaugh, Krauthammer, Hannity, Will, Coulter, Bennett, Ingraham, & similar, may appear to be on your side, they really see you/yours just like the other side does & like them have few qualms about deciding how you should live your life while, of course, reserving the right to do their thing unhindered by the very rules they set up for others. I'm also not nearly as comfortable as you seem to be w/ a military junta ruling post- collapse/reconstructing America, & not even close to being hopeful that they would be as enlightened as Washington was about the exercise of such power. Just because the military joins your side in the fight doesn't necessarily mean that they're qualified &/or have the proper temperament to govern. Patton, Halsey, MacArthur, & LeMay were great commanders if not the greatest ones we're likely to have & in MacArthur's case, the one best suited for the task of reforming & rebuilding Japan. Those who came out of the Civil War as military victors weren't all that good @ leading post-war America, nor were those who emerged after successive wars up to the standard of our first soldier President. One of America's strong suits is that we've been blessed w/ good luck even if we usually don't deserve it, but as we all know only children or idiots depend on it alone to get by & since our military & LE draw from the same pool of humanity, I'd rather not try to see how far we can push our luck by counting on American exceptionalism as a bulwark against the fulfillment of Blackstone's & Santayana's warnings. <br /><br /><br />Cassandra (of Troy)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30839724444922752722010-03-19T09:12:41.894-05:002010-03-19T09:12:41.894-05:00sniff-sniff testing the air this morning!!! i smel...sniff-sniff testing the air this morning!!! i smell a "BREAKDOWN" coming!<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Breakdown-William-W-Johnstone/dp/0786003677#reader_0786003677<br /><br />my many thanks to Mike for finding the name to this book [worth/required reading by all who come here btw]<br /><br /><br />Drew [rooster]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-53903350846097387602010-03-19T00:38:42.260-05:002010-03-19T00:38:42.260-05:00"http://www.cc2009.us/"

Here&...I think we may be better off than we expect. Here's why.<br /><br />First off, Congress (to a large extent) and Obama (less, but still noticeable) have suffered massive falls in approval rating -- this is a major turnaround from a year ago. Pelosi and Reid simply do not enjoy the support that they had.<br /><br />This is why they opted to try and sneak the health 'care' bill through with the Slaughter proposal. Except that now everyone is watching and pointing at them. If they HAD the votes, they would have never bothered with the deem and pass shenanigans.<br /><br />The problem is that they are rapidly running out of options.<br /><br />The wisest thing they could do in this situation is punt. Throw up their hands, whine long and loud about the 'obstructionist Republican minority' and try to put themselves back together after the 2010 elections.<br /><br />The problem is that Pelosi and Reid are blithering idiots, so they won't punt. So what's left? Try to armtwist as many votes as they can (which will result in so many challenges you'll think they bought a gross at Sam's Club), or 'deem and pass'.<br /><br />Deem and pass, however, is a Rubicon. Taking that step is pretty much pissing in the face of the men who wrote the Constitution, as well as every Congressman/woman, good or bad, who actually bothered to play by the rules. It's the equivalent of not just cheating, but blatantly telling us 'We are not going to play by your rules any more'.<br /><br />And at THAT point, things start to get VERY interesting. Forget militia uprising; imagine the shockwave if, oh, several states say 'Go to hell. We will not recognize this as law'.<br /><br />Popcorn, anyone?Toastridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-80204528930353496822010-03-18T21:38:21.929-05:002010-03-18T21:38:21.929-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000423065458380753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-67095293483616006412010-03-18T21:35:37.993-05:002010-03-18T21:35:37.993-05:00USMC Tank,your right on target,kill the snake,drai...USMC Tank,your right on target,kill the snake,drain the swamp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-35620429641881725222010-03-18T21:34:01.658-05:002010-03-18T21:34:01.658-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000423065458380753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-30655866533773827372010-03-18T21:22:36.630-05:002010-03-18T21:22:36.630-05:00The problem on our side is no one wants to be firs...The problem on our side is no one wants to be first.And that's what they are counting on,they are not going to come at you through the front or rear door,why should they.As long as we write and talk about what we are going to do,they'll just pass another and another and another law until we look up and there is no place to go,no one to turn to and to late to organize,because they will have that covered to.I am always reminded of this when I hear people say I'm going to bury my weapons and ammo.If you won't fight when they come for it,I find it hard to believe they would fight afterward.There is no conflict ever been won on defense,that I'm aware of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-2487098971935041162010-03-18T20:15:28.444-05:002010-03-18T20:15:28.444-05:00Anon at 12:17 PM said:

The 60+ page Declaration to the White House called the "Articles of Freedom" were completely ignored by all holding the high offices and ignored by the media. <br /><br />This of course, is to the elitist's undoing and ultimately their downfall. It's that serious, and you are the ones on the fringe... the fringe of denial that the uprising that will soon be here is going to be huge. Open your eyes some, look around the political climate.

Words cannot describe to you or anyone else the look and feel of my line. When it is crossed the consequences will no doubt result in my death, at least. <br /><br />For to me, death will be far more acceptable than allowing my line to be crossed. Those that truly know me and care about me will understand. All others will label me insane. So be it. If one digs deep enough aren’t we all insane?<br /><br />If the life you speak of everyone going back to after such an event involves oppression, control, being part of the collective; you can have it. Freedom by anyone else’s definition but my own is not freedom. How’s that for hubris?<br /><br />You must be at the very top or very bottom of some food chain, anon 454. For that kind of thinking and rationale can only be explained by a plutocrat or non productive bootlicker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
