Our Independence Day; our Second American Revolution
The Coach's Team ^ | 7/4/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Today is the day that we Americans re-proclaim our independence. The conditions we live under today are in many ways the same as those our forefathers had to endure in 1775 when they took up arms to fight to live as free people. At that crucial point in our history we had to decide to either meekly submit to the tyranny of an unelected monarchy with its oppressive foot on our throat; or stand and fight risking everything including even more oppression if we didn’t win.

When we started our First American Revolution in 1775, winning was as doubtful as winning this, our Second Revolution appeared to be in 2015. We knew we wanted freedom; that was a given. Nevertheless, at either point, we had no leaders, just fakers and Judas Goats trying to subvert our struggle. That ended when George Washington stepped forward then and Donald Trump stepped forward last June.

Since the day last June when Trump took up the challenge to lead our Second American Revolution against the most powerful political army in the free world, we have grown in strength and numbers. Just as in 1775 when we would not stand for a political structure dictating every aspect of our lives, we will not tolerate having a coalition of two political parties, now merged into a Uniparty, dictating every aspect of our lives today.

Now as in 1775 we must fight some of our own people who desperately want to remain in a comfortable and subservient status quo to satisfy their own selfish interests. As in 1775 we have to deal with some of our fellow countrymen who are indifferent to either cause and are therefore waiting meekly to fall in line behind our banner or the Uniparty’s.

Determination, luck and help from unlikely sources brought us victory in our First American Revolution; and it is likely that these factors will bring us to freedom in our Second American Revolution.

Happy Independence Day to all patriots. Let those wishing us harm be forewarned: The day of reckoning is coming and we will turn your world upside down.

President Whitmore “Independence Day “ 1996

“We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!”

Stephen Coontz, Liberty's Last Stand describes it perfectly. It is driving liberals crazy to the extent they have organized an army of seminar reviewers to pan it with one star ratings on Amazon. How good is it? The main clue is it revolves around a "fictional" character named Barry Soetoro.

Our Independence Day; our Second American Revolution

The Second American Revolution occurred in 1860-1861, and was ruthlessly put down by wealthy New England Robber Barons who regarded an Independent South as a threat to their financial interests.

It was about Trade with Europe. If the South permitted low tariff Trade, it would wreck much of New England's economy.

This map is a proxy for the amount of trade that would have been severely reduced coming into New England. Notice all that coinage which New York is taking in as a representation of the European Trade? Well it may surprise you to learn that the South produced the vast bulk of the export value, for which those coins represent the returning European trade.

The South threatened that money pile, and so the Power Brokers convinced Lincoln to go to war to stop the threat to their European money streams.

The "slavery" stuff was just propaganda. They had no intention of stopping slavery for the first year and a half of the war. They were making too much money off of it.

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.

If you haven't, check out Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy. There may be hope.

Just.... No! Hell no.

Trump is no George Washington. I have not seen much of anything to compare with our founding fathers. Don't even go there.

Of course there is only one George Washington. The point of my statement was that a leader came forward. Too bad that went over your head.
