The difference between Thomas Jefferson and us is that Jefferson and his compatriots backed up their flowery and powerful speeches with action by meeting up with the British on the battlefields and actually fighting it out.

Today, we’re all talk who do nothing but quote Thomas Jefferson.

I get that little headline stringer on my browser what I initially open up and today I glanced at it for a second and saw this wonderful headline which shows us that everybody is in the fight...

“Celebrities fight back using social media”

Thanks for understanding what I was getting at. Head is spinning from events, and frustration sometimes reaches a very high level.

The outcome of a modern civil war would look more like Mad Max than Mount Vernon.

IMO.

I believe that this entire mess rests at the feet of the Supreme Court. The defied the Constitution when they refused to hear a case between the States, not to mention their defiance of the American people who voted for President Trump in the process. THEY are to blame for not standing up and doing their sworn duty in the face of the lying liberal left. THEY are the reason that America is lost. All that is left for them to do is rule that the Constitution is unconstitutional, because that is the point to which THEY have brought America.

Agree with your post. One of our biggest problems of late is how much time we’ve given the opposition to strategize and organize counteraction. Operational security has been ABYSMAL. If a group of patriots wants to rise up AND BE SUCCESSFUL, they need to do it quietly and quickly. Telegraphing intentions just gets you infiltrated, nabbed, or killed.

I should also add, the BLOOD of an American patriot is also on THEIR hands. IF THEY had done their sworn duty, yesterday would have never happened.

I love your post. I agree. I am so disappointed in Amy Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh, all of them. They are laughingstocks.

The steal of the election and the disenfranchisement of millions of citizens hasn’t fully been confirmed until yesterday.

And probably not fully confirmed until Biden takes an oath.

I would suspect that some people will then have the realization that they have been robbed, officially.

And some handle getting robbed differently.

rights imply duty and duty implies rights

Natural rights are God-given. God-given natural rights implies God-given natural duties to preserve and protect natural rights, which imply the perfect right to use force to carry out those duties. This means that the people have the perfect right to use force to preserve and protect their natural rights by overthrowing a tyranny by force and reestablisning their natural rights. (This includes any tyranny established by lefturd loons or mohammedums.) This also means that an individual has the perfect right of self defense to protect his individual rights.

it is the only blood that will be spilled ,My Friend. The "Patriots" believe fighting is beneath their dignity. Theirs will be spilled standing docilely waiting for the bullet in the back of the head, a/l/a Soviet style.

The lady that was murdered yesterday spilled her blood for Liberty. Judging from the posts, many believed and stated that she got what she deserved. I am not one of those. My opinion is that she was deliberately, viciously, and cold bloodedly murdered by the Police. She was threatening no one. She was attacking no one. She only had the misfortune to cross paths with a Policeman who said to himself as his feet touched the floor, "Self, I am going to shoot some ass today. I don't know who, but the first son of a bitch that crosses my path is just a shot son of a bitch" Well, their paths crossed and she was shot and killed. Again, judging from the posts I read about her being killed many were happy, glad, and elated that she was killed. That she got exactly what she deserved. I am not a member of that club but it is a big one. I hope her memory is not allowed to die with the flowers.

Yes and eventually it will happen. I’m morbidly curious as to what its going to take to light the fire. If we were smart we would pull the trigger now but sadly too many people don’t forsee how bad this is truly going to be. Too many people still believe we have to stick to the constitution when in reality we have been past the constitution for awhile now. Case in point the despicable dog and pony show of the uniparty yesterday and last night.

I am indeed a student of history. But we don’t live in the past. The reality of today is a deeply corrupt government that President Trump could not clean up, an entirely leftist MSM, a treasonous big business community that wants to go back to outsourcing everything to China, and the biggest change of all - BigTech controlling the flow of information. The French lost WW 2 by building the Maginot Line, thinking a future war would be fought on the same rules as WW 1. There will not be another free election in America. Polite debate and persuasion will do nothing to change this new reality. You’ll realize this once they come for your guns.

I don’t think anyone is laughing at those traitors anymore. And I don’t know what else to call them. They were sworn to uphold the Constitution, which says...

SECTION 2. Clause 1. The Judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction; to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States; between a State and Citizens of another State; between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Land under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

THEY are all traitors.

"I am .... But we don’t live in the past. The reality of today is a deeply corrupt government that President Trump..."

The government is LESS corrupt than when Lincoln took office. The press?

"I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.”

“If I had my choice, I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.”

“The American press is a shame and a reproach to a civilized people. When a man is too lazy to work and too cowardly to steal, he becomes an editor and manufactures public opinion.”

― All quotes of Gen William T. Sherman around the time of the Civil War

Best go brush up on your history. Big business has ALWAYS loved big government.

"There will not be another free election in America."

Well, IF THAT IS TRUE, you can give up. Or try to overthrow the US government by violence. Which do you prefer?

I’m not an American and its not my fight. I’m just stating the facts. You are naive beyond belief to think you can win with a rigged electoral system. Just ask the people in Venezuela.

They won’t prosecute Antifa instigators.

Photos, Reports Show ANTIFA Infiltrators Stormed the Capitol Building
https://gellerreport.com/2021/01/photos-reports-show-antifa-infiltrators-stormed-the-capitol-building.html/

Liberals instigated violence at Trump’s rallies in 2015 and 2016 to make conservatives look bad.

The same thing is happening here. And it was done to justify systematic oppression of conservatives by Biden-Harris AND scare Republicans into rolling over on the Electoral College vote that was going on.
