I don’t disagree that their basic impulse is liberty loving and patriotic. I just see this prepper business as a corruption of that impulse. I know that Kartographer and Marcella and the rest, even though I give them grief, are good folks and have the basic patriotic orientation — but we cannot give in to a defeatist mindset. We have to be happy warriors to be effective. We can’t accept defeat. I’m afraid that this forum is on the precipice of seeing the conservative movement as doomed, and I am convinced that nothing good can come from that mindset.
I’m not giving in to anything and I’m not a defeatist. I’m urging everyone to resist what these treasonous thugs are doing to America the land we love and to never, ever give up their guns! A well armed population determined to remain free as God intended is our greatest line of defense against tyranny.
