Is it that insidious smile with which President Obama states “reservations” while signing the National Defense Authorization Act into law? Trust it not; it will prove a snare to your feet! Ask yourselves how a signing statement compares with those warlike preparations that darken our land. I warn of detainment by the army. Is this necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled with our own Constitution that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves!

These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which a tyrants resort! Now the Senate has before it Senate Bill 1698 that will allow the stripping away of your citizenship should you be found in hostilities toward the United States Government. Why have we allowed our elected defenders of Liberty to lay such treasonous traps before the American people?

I ask Patriots, what does this law mean, if its purpose is not to force us to submission and silence? Can anyone assign any other possible motive for it? What purpose does it serve but to destroy the very tenants of our constitution? There are none! They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other.

They are to bind and rivet upon us those chains which those we have elected to represent us have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? We have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing.

We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to pleading and begging? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I plead with you, deceive ourselves.

America, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; have we not protested; we have asked with respect; we have bowed ourselves before the Presidents and Congress, Our petitions to uphold the rule of law have been rejected while our constitution is continually trampled by those that would enslave and detain us.

Our petitions have been slighted; our protests have produced additional violence and insult; our humble requests have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the very ones that we have given charge to protect our liberties! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve our Constitutional rights for which we have been so long contending –we must fight! I repeat it, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Personally I love watching self anointed messiahs be it just a late night TV channel advertiser or an ideological puppet of the highest office ascend and then fall back to earth in flames.

But the greatest joy is watching the followers expressions upon their faces when they realize what they chose was well, the wrong decision.

One problem — among many, many others — is organizing.

There are plenty of furious individuals out there. But teaming up with other such furious individuals would constitute a “militia” and thus bring the wrath of the titans down on their heads. Few dare even discuss such things online, for fear of Big Brother watching.

But organize we must, and will. A bunch of “fishing buddies” can discuss whatever they want out on the boat, right?
