The Coming Storm

Short Essay | 1/1/13 | William of Barsoom

[William of Barsoom]

I am an American.

I was born that way. In a small town in New England right at the end of World War II, in which my father was a submariner. We weren’t rich at all -- we were just regular people. When my turn came it was called Vietnam.

Another poster on another thread months ago said, and I’m quoting, “Washington needs to be burned down to the ground.”.

The only thing I would add to that is as follows: “With all federal employees sitting in their offices”. I think that he had implied the addition but didn’t say it. :-)

The feral government needs to be cut by at least 50%.

Well said. However, I don't see "flaws" anymore other than what the federal, state, and local governments create and the socialists teach. Equal opportunity exists for all. Slavery is long gone; sexism is gone; ageism is gone; ethnic bias is gone in the work place; we give our childrens' lives to promote self-determination throughout the World; we also give our wealth and resources to so many around the World, many of who don't deserve it.

We have no more "flaws" other than our political class, and that is their doing, plus the dumb-downed electorate by our agenda driven education system.

So, maybe we do have one last flaw, and that would be our failure to educate our children properly about our history and the history of other civilizations that fell from within.

Thanks for your article.

[ebersole]

Thank you

You Know How This Ends Right? This Ends Through War.

Well said. For those that fear we have lost too many people to the brain dead liberal ranks, please take some comfort in my words. My son is an Army Ranger, and there are many of his generation that “get it”. I am proud of them. There are plenty of more mature Americans that “get it” too. Last night at a neighborhood party there was a long and intelligent conversation about guns, concealed carry, weapons, self defense, etc. Men and women participated. I would take 10 of these people against 100 of the clueless any day.

I will not leave America in her Dark Hours, for I am not a summer soldier. If need be, I will fall with her, but I will not abandon her..................

To this I also pledge!!!

[zzeeman]

Amen! Very well said.

It’s our fault -- all of us -- for letting this happen.

[Popman]

Great post...but you can not restore a corpse....

We are a dead body...but filled with parasites that only make us look alive

[central_va]

Get ready Yank, it might happen again. You have your Illinois President in place....

[RaceBannon]

I am glad for the patriotic sentiment and the historical reality of what you said, but we have tried to re-live a time in our history and make it our present reality without seeking the original cause of that blessed time from long ago.

The answer to all this, is not what we need to change the political landscape with or what Conservative leader we need to replace but what we need to fill the hearts of men with.

The answer is to live, teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

We do not need a tea party revival, we need a Bible based revival.

Our nation is doomed because we are no longer a Christian nation. It is only the prayers for mercy from genuine Bible believers that our nation is not destroyed.

We might try to escape to a better land, but we will soon find the same problems there as we had here.

We are rapidly approaching the end times, and we need to tell people there is a lifeboat they can get in.

That lifeboat is the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.

Jn 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Jn 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Jn 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
Jn 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

I too want to thank you for the inspiring thoughts.. I am wont to post Abe's observations from the other side on these matters..

If you could first know where you are and whither you are tending, you could better judge what to do and how to do it. You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

The question today is either the opponents of statism will arrest the further spread of it and place it on course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become permanent.

Have you no tendency to the latter condition?

Let anyone who doubts carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination — piece of machinery, so to speak — compounded of the Republican Party hands-across-the-aisle doctrine and the dreadful actions among statism's chief architects.

I will simply add that here they are, the "other America's" New Normal ruling elite

I remember them.

The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever!. They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.

Void the bowels of Washington!

Neither California nor New York City are worth the life of one American soldier.

I also believe their will be a wave of individual guerrilla warfare attacks upon federal establishments and some localized sympathizers.

Most will be futile meager potshots ill timed and lacking in focus brought about by reckless poor planning and execution, basically your average American with little or no training will be doing acts of rebellion against a runaway totalitarianism government out of fear.

I do not see any large scale organized resistance groups or any centralized leadership, if anything people will just not accept any leadership as they have no more faith, and nobody has arisen worthy of leadership to defend the constitution.

Some states will have a more determined and organized plan of federal defiance while others will openly hunt down registered gun owners on any rules infringement no matter the smallness of degree. We are already seeing that in the NE where they can say even a textbook is a terrorists weapon.

Meanwhile, over at GOP HQ:

"Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! "

[Snowy]

I agree completely. We have to make our voices heard. We obviously weren’t loud enough on election day!

[ought-six]

I am with you, my friend.

Aside from the major cities, much of California is somewhat conservative. It’s just that the cities have too great of a population to overcome. The state itself is beautiful. Beaches, mountains, deserts, and forests make it have something for everyone.
