The Eve of Conflict

[Neil E. Wright]

We now have what we have been waiting for. In the words of Barack Obama, "we are the ones we've been waiting for." We, the patriotic masses who find comfort in the stars and stripes, who know what it means to be an American have arrived at the precipice of history. It is a dangerous and deep chasm we see from above that separates us from them.

We are embroiled in a tug of war for the future of the nation. It is an ideological gulf that separates the sides. If one truly believes that America should be a socialist/communist country, that cannot be reconciled with the sentiment that it should not. This is not a new conflict where the sides are ill-defined and yet to be set. This is an old battle taken to a new terrain. Rather than being fought by one government to another, it is being fought right now in the minds of the populace.

The socialist/communist faction in America is largely made up of media personalities: of them are Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, Oprah Winfrey, PBS, television, movies and labor unions. Their forces have infiltrated the government (yes, even the Republican side) in Washington and state houses all over the nation. Socialism/communism can be found in the courtrooms, the classrooms and even the boardrooms of those seeking one last chance at profit before they sign away their rights with ours.

This conflict has been an underground stream of discontent between the sides for one-hundred years. Think of it. This is not new, only the open declaration of the socialist/communist faction has the twinkle of novelty about it. They wear union insignia and boast of their connection to the highest offices in the land. Under every SEIU T-shirt is a hammer and sickle, if not, let them deny it, let them denounce it. Pull the mask from their faces and make them reveal their intent. Their willing violence in the streets in defense of the political class says all a patriot needs to know. But, they will probably admit it if pushed, if coerced, if brought out of their routine of denial.

I believe that we are at the starting point of a long and arduous journey toward a Restoration of the Constitution. It is our duty to breathe new life into the ancient document, to make words mean things again. As Orrin Hatch appropriately stated this morning on FOX News, "if Obamacare is allowed to stand, it means that the government can make us do literally anything."

Repeal is more than symbolic, it is the central actionable cause left to the patriot. If we cannot rally all of the patriotic people of the land to stand in defiance of this bill, to demand a passage and a presidential signature, or the override of the veto, then we shall stand for nothing else again. If you are looking for that peaceful moment to make your voice heard, to drive home your demand for republican government and the rule of law, this is it.

January 21st, we should meet on the steps of the capitol and demand the vote in the House and the vote in the Senate. On January 28th a new set of patriots should take up the rotation and let the others go home. Week after week there should be a changing of the guard. Take your valuable vacation and make it count. Take your unemployment and put it to use. Take your leave from war and contribute to the home front. Take your slowed business cycle and come to Washington for a week. Use whatever funds you can. Identify with others who cannot possibly go and ask for a donation to help you go. Who in the D.C. area can put some people up? These are the thoughts of a patriot, of a dedicated republican. Plan your trip now. Do not let them breathe. If we fail at this, there will only be one outcome: civil war.

If not now, when? If not us, who?

I agree. And it is important for us not to become “overwhelmed” by the various types of attacks from every direction. Freedom isn't free, and it's going to take continuous hard work to reclaim Freedom, and keep it.

[JouleZ]

When I can walk around the District of Columbia armed, I might consider a trip to D.C.

*****************************

You can. Criminals do all the time. You might get harassed by cops or lowlifes. But that's a gut check thing. What is your freedom worth?

I've pretty much got a measure of what it means to you. ######################################

You have no idea what my freedom means to me and what personal price has been paid for it. My point about the 2nd Amendment was the irony of D.C. and CC laws.

[JouleZ]

It’s been long and expensive trips from Colorado, and fruitless so far. How is this time going to be different from the others?

***************

That was my point. I am reading others comments about keeping at the protests but we are retired and have to choose carefully. I’m going with preparation but if we ever decide to do the D.C. thing, we should carpool. We are in NM, neighbor.

[JouleZ]

We all should at least have the degree of steadfastness and resolve that these citizens had....what an example!

***********

We do, it’s called the TEA PARTY and those of us in that group vary in our way of thinking but all work for the same goal. Some want to attend D.C. and some want to use our money in other ways. It’s America!

[JouleZ]

Obama & the Left hopes we will be content to continue faxing, e-mailing, calling, and spending our money in D.C. for rallies. It means they can go on ignoring us.

**********************

annie, you are sooooo right!

When the people STOP talking is when the gov’t will fear us most.

[JouleZ]

As the author of the piece in reference, I can tell you that the others did work to a degree.

*********

Yes, they certainly did and I hope this one wows them so I will watch for more details and best of luck.

It’s a growing-up process for all of us but we need to mature quickly. We are behind in this political takeover.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I was there on 9/12 and 4/15/10. We did have an effect on Pelosi, et al. Unfortunately that effect was to convince them that though we were much more numerous than they believed, it also led them to see that if they simply ignore us and make these criminal laws, we have no real peaceful way of stopping them.

I will not give up fighting this peacefully. But I don’t believe we can win it that way. I honestly believe that, in the final analysis, it will come down to one of two scenarios. Capitulation by the majority of the general populace (which is what is taking place right now), or physical resistance by a significant minority, i.e. rebellion. I hope it doesn’t come to rebellion, but I believe that is better than submitting to despotism.

[Wisconsinlady]

I rode a busses to Washington DC on 9/12, again for the healthcare vote, and then again for the Glenn Beck rally. I spent time and money-both of which I have little these days. Unfortunately, I too feel it produced nothing but warm fuzzy feelings for us.

If I went again, it would need to be for something quite different. Some type of civil disobedience.

[Monorprise]

“If we fail at this, there will only be one outcome: civil war.”

We got a few more trick to try, tricks which must be implemented before it will even be possible to move on to more forceful means.

Frankly i don’t think Civil War will ever be necessary, as there are smarter ways to go about achieving a peaceful secession. Namely make the other side want to see you go.(That can be as easy as using the common tool to drive them crazy or more specially their radicals to desire such a separation, and the moderates to desire it to go peaceful rather then endure the horrific cost of bloodshed.)

It should be easy as there is no driving issue like slavery which morally motivates one side to fight to impose something on the other.

[caww]

Yes, but it will be a battle getting there. The democrates are not going to hand it over...and if they are too agreeable I would be highly suspecious!

[caww]

"when in the Course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the political bands" which connect us with an illegitimate government - then talk to me about taking up arms against my brother. Until then I will march, write, speak or even sit-in and suffer imprisonment to fight emasculation of the Constitution."

I do think most are at this place as well...but they will not be afraid if the time comes to take it further if all else fails. It's like any war...."there comes a time."...and we as a country will do all we can to prevent that conflict in every peaceful way possible...at the same time knowing we can, if no other options are avaiable, take up arms and revolt. Praying that will never be necessary.

[RipSawyer]

I refuse to leave a country that is worse than it was when I was a child as a legacy for my children and their children!! >:-(

Then you have a lot of fixing to do.

[Humidston]

Regardless of how this plays out, it will not end with us. My children and grandchildren will carry on long after I’m gone.

[JDW11235]

Doh! You’re right, thanks for correcting that, for some reason I was thinking of the wrong spelling. Thanks, again.

[JDW11235]

Thanks for the spelling correction guy(s)/gal(s). It had been a long day, haha.
