Civil Disobedience - its time has come.
"Civil Disobedience" in three parts: One - Two - Three ^ | 1849 | Henry David Thoreau

Posted on 03/21/2010 6:45:39 PM PDT by Toaster tank

I HEARTILY ACCEPT the motto, — "That government is best which governs least";(1) and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, — "That government is best which governs not at all"; .............

We need continuous marches and rallies on Washington D.C. One day rallies will no longer suffice.

Yeah, right. None of you are going to do anything, so spare me the Wolverine war cry.

Agreed. I have been saying that since the beginning. Everyone will look at their individual situation and believe they have too much to risk, even in light of what is being taken away from us.

I think you will see a lot more. this isn’t stopping at all. The Democrats will now hit us with more and more socialism and it looks like it will not end well.

Execute your Constitutional Right to bear arms and never give that right up for any government. If you hear of gun confiscation anywhere where you can drive to get your friends and go there armed with me. Then we will end it all.

I hope it never comes to that but from the looks of things the Marxists will not stop. Might as well get ready.

Check out AppleSeed.info for great marksmanship instruction. there isn’t a force on Earth that can handle millions of armed Americans. Most of the military will be with us as well and if that ever happens Obama is a doomed man. As are many in the media and most Democrats.

Are you serious? Millions have been standing up in defiance over the past 14 moths and that number continues to grow! Why do you use "you"? Are you just going to roll over and play dead for the socialists/marxists who want to destroy your freedoms and control every aspect of your life?

Those opposed to socialism need to steal a page out of the socialist playbook by reasserting the Constitution with the same unrelenting determination the socialists have used for decades. View any setback as only temporary.

I’m in.

But moving the herd of fat sheep that is the current crop of Americans isn’t going to be easy.

A bunch of pacifist p***ies inhabit our once noble country. This bunch would have kissed the feet of King George before they risked a toe nail in resisting.

I wouldn’t waist my time on it right now. Until the thick-headed wimps feel the pain of what is coming they’ll just taunt you with “wolverines” or some such BS.

They need to simmer in the commies’ pain stew for at least a couple of more years.

Nothing you have “to risk” is worth squat without liberty. Grow a pair and resist.

The difference today is that we have a law enforcement and criminal justice system that are FAR better armed (and infinitely better organized) than the citizenry, and whose goal is to keep order no matter what. Until that changes, I don’t see much resisting going on.

Let's start with those who call their selves conservatives and do nothing politically. As in sending a very basic email to their elected representatives.

If that level of involvement could be ratcheted up a small amount; it would help a great deal.

Pfft. Anyone can be a Keyboard Kommando. It's easy to talk a big game. It's fun to "stand up in defiance" when there's nothing to lose.

Here's the truth: None of you Website Wolverines are going to do a damn thing other than bitch about things on the Internet, or maybe wave a misspelled, hand-lettered sign at some meaningless street rally. So spare me the speech, Patrick Henry.

That’s what it will take to shut down this broken government we have. More people should step up.

obama supports abortion, including partial-birth, more than anyone that has been in Washington in a very long time.

Since the Republican politicians can’t do it, [not enough of them in Congress], we need to have a disaffected public rise up and disrupt Congress from carrying out its normal business until they rescind the Healthcare bill - and start from scratch.

Healthcare was s single party act of tyranny over the wishes of the people. Nothing should be “normal” until they retract the act.

I agree on that point. But they aren’t doing anything.

We have “Tea Parties” which are nothing but politically correct family picnics, really.

I’ve tried to organize in my area for something a little more spirited than the lame “Tea Parties” and struggle to get even a hundred people to sign-up.

Sometimes I don’t even know why I concern myself with it all. If Americans want this sh*t who am I to get in the way of their suicide?

But I get mixed signals when they cry out against what’s happening. Then they go back to the various screens they stare at for hours, days, weeks, until the next urge to cry out hits them.

It’s f***king weird what we’re doing. I don’t get it.

It's not a Revolution. We've already had that. By dumbing down the electorate, and by falsifying the votes, they have stolen our Republic.

We need a Restoration. The Republic must stand again.

Waiting to vote another group of useless a$$holes into office won't cut it.

Sorry Windcatcher, by all accounts ... hell, by any account, the citizens of the United States are far better armed than the law enforcement community! Last year the citizens bought some fourteen million guns! The combined police agencies of all the ststes can’t come close to that number.

The difference though is in the training and leadership. That’s where the cops have the edge. Whether that edge is great enough is a question none of us really want to have answered.

"Go to jail?" ... If only it were that easy!

Try having all your bank accounts frozen and assets seized, and having to live under a bridge and eat from dumpsters. Any productive measure needs to first acknowledge the *real* risks that one faces.

My first recommendation is that, if you don't have one already, start a diet and exercise program. While doing that learn some skills that can be sold on a cash-only basis - skills that can be advertised on craigslist.

While doing these things, however, play by the rules as best you can and keep your powder dry until the Nov election (or until they pass amnesty, whichever comes first - if the illegals are given the vote then there's no use waiting for the election).
