” I am not a pansy, and i am not giving up, but I am a realist and i see what we have done in the past, and I know what the future has in store for us, and the Genie will never be put back into the bottle. Unless we do it by force some day”
Absolutely correct. Perhaps those who condemn some as “pansies” ought to wake up and become realists instead of playing Tiny Tim and tip toe through the tulips. Just because we realize and discuss the dire straights this country is in doesn’t mean we aren’t still on the front lines. In fact, I suggest we’re much more prepared than those blowing smoke up other’s arses.
It has been 40 years since RvW, and Reagan even appointed two individuals who voted to uphold it in 1992.
So how long is the long term that you speak of?
I’ll still be involved as I said, but I am no longer going to be so naive that I think we will reverse the coarse we are on. Are you under the mindset that we will never ever put Democrats back in power before this ruling is reversed?
I am a historian, and as such I have a very good understanding of the consequences nations suffer down the road from very bad decisions. I also understand humans nature, and human nature tells me we are screwed because too many don’t understand the gravity of this ruling.
I guess I come down on the side of Limbaugh, Levin, and other realists that see this ruling is a VERY BAD THING!
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? - Matt 14:28-31
Instead, I join in earnest prayer for this country.
God's Name is I AM.
Look to your state capitol.
Thirteen unanimous States of America told George III to take a flying leap.
Lately, 26 States (more than half!!!) could not even stop zeroCare with a lawsuit.
The states are the answer.
The Judges in the states, the LE people, the legislators, are all way closer to you than way off Washington. And it’s been proven time and time again that Washington WILL SEIZE AS MUCH POWER AS WE LET THEM!!
So how long is the long term that you speak of?

Buck up OneVike...we will get through this. They can only break your spirit...if you LET them. ;-)
Bravo, Alamo-Girl!!!
THAT is the spirit that made this country great!
...(along with the Holy Spirit who guided us.) ;-)
And thank you for your encouragement, dear SumProVita!
Battletank I agree, to know the enemy and the battle is better than pretending it does not exist. I see the enemy and know what the battle is about, and it’s not about the few leftists on the hill in front of us, it’s the millions of embedded communists that run the government I am now enslaved by.
When I think of the rights I had when I was born I am shocked and get angry, but when I read a ruling that tells me I am whatever the government tells me I am and I have no regress then I cannot help but get angry.
Think about it, why do we need the judiciary any longer?
Roberts has told Congress and the president that the judiciary has no control over what they do if what they do is done for the purpose of taxation.
Alamo-Girl; I do not despair about my salvation, I have faith that God will see me through, but I also know that he does not promise us a rose garden while here on earth in this world.
Eventually the warnings of the Bible will be upon us, and as much as I know how the story will end, I still cannot help but see a future for my children’s children that is going to be full of hardship and servitude.
I guess this is my way of doing as Christ tells us to do, be angry but do not sin. This is my way to keep from going over that line.
Don’t give up the ship. I felt completely sick over the Roberts’ treason too, but there are still tens of millions of patriots / Christians remaining in the country. Perhaps we are a minority, sadly — but keep in mind so were the founding fathers. We need to be 5x more committed to our cause than the communists and atheists are to theirs. It’s that simple. No time for hanging our heads.
“...I am now enslaved by...”

Come on, OneVike. I have a feeling that you are better than this.

There is another way to look at this: Only one democratic president has won a second term in 60 years. Viewership of the major propaganda outlets of the democratic party is in freefall.
Our primary problem is not the democrats, it is the republican leadership, and ultimately ourselves. Obama was only elected because George Bush decided to take his second term as a vacation from politics and McCain never really showed up for the election in the first place.
We can stop sending wimps like McConnell to congress and selecting traitors like McCain to run for president. We need to stop letting CNN select our presidential candidate.
The truth of the matter is that the democrats can't succeed on their own, they need republicans to fail, to give up or never even try.
Right after Romney repeals Obamacare, he needs to get Roberts off the court. The man is clearly not stable.
Absolutely correct. Under the U.S. Constitution all Federal power ultimately flows from the consent of We the People via Congress, specifically the House of Representatives. The abrogation of constitutional responsibility on the part of the House has been an overriding theme for more than a century now, but the U.S. Constitution still stands and all that it would take to completely change things is an electorate which would send to Washington a Congress which takes its role and responsibility seriously. Remember, the entire House of Representatives is elected anew every two years. A reinvigorated House could dramatically change things in very short order as long as a similar sentiment change in he Senate could provide veto override support.
A dream? Perhaps. But sometimes things have to get really bad for people to finally take action to correct lifelong bad habits. We're not there just yet, but we're certainly continuing to move in that direction.
Please do not take my admittance to the defeat I feel as a sign that I have quit and will no longer fight.
I fight, and will continue to fight till I die, but I cannot sit back and ignore the dire consequences this ruling will have for the country as a whole.
Ask my wife and she will tell you that if anything this has awakened me to a point I have not been awake in quite some time.
My physical troubles aside, I feel invigorated to the point of wanting to take the enemy down with me.
All that being said, in the future my fight will begin to take on a new battle, one I have ignored and stepped back from in the last few years. I will again put more emphasis on the souls I win for Christ again.
I will still battle the enemy I see that is standing before me in this realm of consciousness we call the world. However, it’s time I step back onto a field I have ignored for awhile. It’s time I re-enter the battle against the evil that is destroying the souls of men.
To test this, I've posted on the comments sections of major Virginia-based papers especially on “political” articles. I then just sat back and watch the hits against me. They are out there and everywhere on-line - at least in Virginia.
I trust that all the FReepers will resist this mind warfare and keep fighting the fight to remove the Marxist, elect the other candidates, hold them accountable, and keep finding and promoting the right candidates.
I’m reminded of the scene in Return of the King when the Stewart of Gondor is running around yelling “All is lost” and is then knocked out by Gandolf who then simply looks to the Soldiers and says “Prepare for Battle.”
Again, I choose not to despair. After all, since I am Christian, there is nothing that can happen to me unless either a) God did it or b) God permitted it - for everything that happens to me happens to Him.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. - Colossians 3:3
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? - I Corinthians 6:19
The difference is that the new movements aren't that old. The new Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and others are a relatively recent political movement that has the capability to turn the County back to the Constitution and limited federal rule. We didn't get to this awful point overnight. This has happened over more than a century (depending on your perspective). We've got to set up mechanisms and continue the struggle to make it right over the next century for the sake of our offspring - and the world.
It doesn't take the majority to make this happen, it just takes a group of focused Patriots across our great nation to make this happen.
I will still battle the enemy I see that is standing before me in this realm of consciousness we call the world. However, it’s time I step back onto a field I have ignored for awhile. It’s time I re-enter the battle against the evil that is destroying the souls of men.
The problem with this country is spiritual and that is where we must engage the enemy.
