I agree but look how liberals are already portraying the issue:

“What is new is the mostly out of state extremist right wing push to use this as a flashpoint for some kind of violent revolution. Excellent diaries have already been written about how everyone on Fox News and the vaguely traitorous Tea fringes have been calling for open revolution to protect this man from the tyranny of paying his bills. I have been “discussing” this with a lot of them on the Facebook pages of several of our local news stations for days now. (Yes, I know, but someone had to present the view that stealing is bad.) They scare me, frankly. They have no idea of history or law or the actual facts of the case, and they don’t care. They were told to be outraged, and they are. They’re streaming into the state armed and dangerous and with an extremely tenuous grip on reality, looking for trouble. I fear that they will find it.”

Read the entire piece but I warn you it will make you angry and sick!

The Revolutionary war was not uncontrollable.

We had a very different population and culture back then... and even so, there was no shortage of outrageous and heinous acts.

....(((when the timing is right))).....

How and who will determine that?..and by what means?

It takes more than a willingness to fight for ones country. ....it takes some form of leadership.

Heck, even when the Gov. shut down the Monuments etc and wouldn’t let people in there was a call to march to Washington.....compared to our population the response was few...though I have to say it was effective in some respects. But it was leaderless for the most part...nothing “central” to bring it together.

So any uprising had better well be led and with “protection” from outsiders invading it and creating “unintended chaos”. I have no confidence anyone is at that point....and I don’t think that will be until we see what this election brings.

You see I have many questions and rightfully so....

Perhaps it will be several hills...such as the open sexualization and homosexual brainwashing of our kids in the public schools. One hill might be the opposition to policies that reduce food and employment availability so that our children face real starvation in a land that is still rich beyond measure!

Our families and children should be the apples of our eyes that government backed perverts should never be allowed to touch!

Leadership naturally arises in such situations.

It will not be clean, or occur in a straight line.

No such movement in history ever has.

We’ve have been defrauded in our elections, and that fraud has become a Democrat mod us opera mid.

If they steal 2014, it will be a bridge too far.

Less than seven months remain before reasonable men will have a stark reality thrust in their faces.

We either get the country back on track in November, or we will find that the communists want a fight.

And they will get one.

It seems the only real way to get FedGov™ complete attention is to lob artillery rounds into one of their forts.

Well I got to the first sentence in the second paragraph to see this individual doesn't have the facts, or is eliminating those known in order to frame their rant to suite their ideology. But what is typical in liberal/progressive thought was when they began saying the "rules" don't apply to them. LOLOL....where have we seen and heard that before! Didn't make me mad or sick at all...I've grown accustomed to their mindless chatter. Still, it is another good example of the way their mind works.

You are correct. It is foolish to fight the Feds with violence.

You are just wrong. The purpose of the second amendment isn't so we could go hunting and it isn't for the right of self defense. These are just side benefits of the second amendment. The REAL purpose of the second amendment is so the people can take up arms against a tyrannical Federal govt. with at least the same personal firepower as the Feds have. This threat is real and implicit.

Did you ask yourself before you replied, was shutting down of the monuments the right time or the spark? I do not know what the timing is and you are correct we need a leader. I have been saying this for years and with the military purge I had figured one would appear and am still thinking that.

I know about willingness my FRiend.

The first revolution only 13% were in agreement that anything should be done. If that is the number this time it is anyones guess but the reckoning is coming if our FERAL government does not mend it’s ways.

Yes, yes many questions and few answers. The only insight I have for you is to be prepared for whatever YOU are willing to do. The biggest is to be prepared to protect your family first and foremost. Then you go from there.

People have no comprehension how brittle the fed is. It is not only liable for dispensing hundreds of billions of dollars per year to it dependents but it also has impossible debt obligations which are over one hundred times greater than its yearly disbursements -and growing.

Even the hint of popular revolt could crash the system via a lack of confidence in the govt. to pay its obligations. This would likely initiate a makers vs. takers civil war.

Make no mistake communists and liberals are one in the same They are takers and will defend expropriation of others resources until someone stops them. Example: FReeper caww’s defense of Putin’s taking of Crimea and advocacy for the status quo in support a government overrun by corrupt leftists.

I took the article to mean that we are close, very close, but the timing isn’t exactly right yet. The pot is simmering but not yet at a full boil.

The “3 percenters” are good to go now, of course, but most good, law-abiding people aren’t ... yet. The folks with the AR-15s are breathing heavy but Grandpa hasn’t pulled out his .22 yet. That’s when you’ll know.

I believe one more outrage, one more Ruby Ridge, could be the final spark for another Lexington.

But what worries me most is that the current Regime might WANT large-scale bloodshed. We already know the Regime is gearing up for massive civil unrest, and they have the tools to make it happen on an epic scale. (”Those mean Republicans trimmed the funding so no EBT payments at all this month. So sorry.”) One day the power goes out, and when it comes back on you find MRAPs blocking the Interstate and SWAT teams kicking down thousands of doors.

And with the likely changes ahead in Congress come November, what do they have to gain by waiting?

FRiends, you should be finishing up your preps right now as if your life depended upon it.

I will stand and fight. I took an oath of office and still hold that office today. I will stake my wealth, my honor, and my life to fight for freedom and liberty for my Country.

........I am familiar with Ross’s book.
apparently not

...........So who appoints the “guerrilla’s”?
no one, see the book

... Who chooses what targets and those not?
those that make tyranny will be targets those that don’t won’t be targets, simple.

....Who will have the authority?
Read US History you will clearly see who has the authority.

......Who leads?
..... Who follows?..and what of the aftermath?
..... Who takes over?
..... Who calms the people?
......How do you know friend or foe?
War is hell, innocents get caught up in every war. War is the result of one side underestimating how much they can take from the other side without repercussions. Leaders and followers will sprout up from the masses just like any war.

.......You see there are many willing it would seem, but no order to it.... who’s running any sort of that kind of operation? Nobody’s asked me...have they you?... I doubt it.....so how would it come about?...when where would it begin?

using your limited thought process, who knows? who cares?
with NSA surveilling everyone no one will be asking you anything. It will begin when it begins.

.......Waiting til something triggers violence makes no sense to me when there remains other options not yet exhausted.

what are those options? How much tyranny, corruption lying and abuse are you willing to accept? Do you see any of the administration lying crooks being punished or protected? The rule of law is dead, the courts including the Supreme Court are corrupted.

.......I believe there is still hope for another solution, other options.....we’re not done trying those...and this next election is one

The last election was rampant with fraud, the IRS was used to prevent a fair election and no one has gone to jail for it so what makes you think this election will be different?
Do you need a photo id or birth certificate to vote? Why not?

I pray war does not happen, but I don’t see Congress doing anything to stop it. The only way to prevent it is to let the corrupt tyrants know that the people are coming for them and hope they flee instead of fight.

now go read or see “J’accuse” and see if you can put together a list of those you think are corrupt tyrants. Do you know what they look like, where they live, what they drive? Where they frequent? Why not, they know who you are, where you live, what’s in your emails and posts.

Armed conflict is coming no matter how much you desire a “peaceful” resolution.

Yep, and it isn't going to be "real" Americans who start it. It will be those in power running this out of control government who have been dividing the people and making preparations for this, such as ammo and armored vehicle purchases.

Ol' dingy harry and his son just got caught early in the process of doing what all of the elites hope to do ( take our land; our wealth; our country; and our Christian way of life).

U.S. Senator Reid, son combine for China firm’s desert plant

Fri, Aug 31 05:06 AM EDT

By Marcus Stern

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Harry Reid recognized nine years ago that connections between his official duties and the lobbying activities of his relatives could lead to ethical questions.

In 2003, the Nevada Democrat publicly banned relatives from lobbying him or his staff after newspaper reports showed that Nevada industries and institutions routinely turned to Reid’s sons or son-in-law for representation.

Now, questions surrounding family ties are flaring again in Nevada around the Senate majority leader. He and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert.

Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada. His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.

Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the non-partisan advocacy group Public Citizen, said the senator is dealing with “an iffy ethical landscape” because of the family connections and should recuse himself from the project. “Is this just happening because ... it benefits the Reid family, or did Harry Reid actually believe in this?” Holman said.

The senator has supported numerous clean energy projects in Nevada. Rory Reid cites energy as one of his specialty areas at the law firm.

The two Reids deny discussing the ENN project.

“I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff,” said Rory Reid. Kristen Orthman, a spokeswoman for the senator, said he had not discussed the project with his son.

The Langfang, China-based ENN Energy Group hopes to build what would be the largest solar energy complex in America. The site chosen with Rory Reid’s guidance is in tiny Laughlin, Nevada, a gambling town of 7,300 along the Colorado River, 90 miles south of Las Vegas.

County officials have said that they were so thrilled to recruit a company to the area, with the prospect of thousands of new local jobs, that they were eager to negotiate.

ENN is headed by Chinese energy tycoon Wang Yusuo, who made a fortune estimated by Forbes at $2.2 billion distributing natural gas in China. Wang escorted Reid and a delegation of nine other U.S. senators on a tour of the company’s clean energy operations in Langfang, and Reid featured Wang as a speaker at his 4th annual National Clean Energy Summit in Las Vegas last year.

NEVADA’S LARGEST LAW FIRM

To advance the Nevada project, ENN retained the state’s largest and most prestigious law firm - Lionel Sawyer & Collins, where Rory Reid works. It is headed by Richard Bryan, a former Nevada attorney general, governor and member of the U.S. Senate.

“Nihilism is tempting for those people who are lazy and frightened and looking for a philosophical excuse to run away from making a stand. Claiming the fight is lost before it has truly begun is a longstanding tradition amongst millions upon millions of cowards through history”.

LOL, look Alex, someone described you to a ‘T’.

I see you troll threads that hint at trouble brewing, in your genius attempt to discourage anyone from even thinking of standing tall for AMERICA.

I’ve asked sincere questions of you and you never ever take the time to answer. You truly are a coward as well as a silly blowhard. How about you come back to your home land and take a peek at what AMERICANS are doing! Novel idea no?

Here’s a likely scenario:

Republicans hold the House but Boehner is still the speaker. Even if he’s replaced we probably end up with Canter. We still have a gutless House that won’t do anything.

Republicans take the Senate but only have a one or two vote majority. McConnell is likely to win and he will still be in charge.

We won’t have enough votes to override presidential vetos so nothing is likely to change. 0bama will continue his lawlessness and there still won’t be anyone with enough balls to do anything about it. The GOPe will NOT impeach 0bama and will not have enough power make ANY real changes.

That leaves it up to “We the People”.
