His paragraphs are too long or I am getting awfully tired.
I think it is both.

We have a second Amendment for a reason and it ain’t to go duck hunting.

[ That said, a person who chooses a course past reason, should also chose carefully his moment and method of rebellion. ]
One sheep farmer told a friend of mine if you hold out a stick and force the first couple of sheep to jump over it..
-Then-;
all the sheep jump even after you remove the stick..
AND he demonstrated it.. and they did...
“If Congress doesn’t act, I’m all for going to DC to express some Grievances with Mr. Obama.”
Therein is the problem. Congress is part and parcel of the oppressions. Obama merely highlights the fact that the real systemic problem is not so much him personally, but the entire apparatus of the Pustule on the Potomac.
Our real oppressor is not the sock puppet Obama, as it is the entire federal (now globalist) putsch against American Constitutional liberties and the rule of law. People continue to hope for a better emperor, when the real problem is empire itself.
Who guards the guardians? No one.
I wholly agree with you. Utterly. The present, forcibly United States will go the way of the Soviet Union and for similar reasons.
“Revolutions, coup de tat’s, governmental overthrows and the like are very messy affairs.
To be effective a lot of heads must roll at numerous places. Most do not have the stomach for it. “
Until enough stomachs are empty. But you are quite right.
If we are not, we won’t ever be.We are about half a step from slavery and all that entails.Those we trusted have betrayed us. Figure the rest on your own. Because we on this forum are not alone.

If Obama wins in November, he’ll go the full Hugo Chavez.
We’ve only seen his careful baby steps so far.
You are close.
He did this to instigate a crisis. Both Constitutional and in the streets.
There is no way to walk this back without there being blood in the streets.
I fear for the young during the dark age of slavery which is coming if God does not act. The hand writing of hedonism, pedophilia, murder, lusts of all kinds, unimaginable poverty, fear, loss of freedom over the most simple acts of daily life, no real comfort measures during illness or accidents for the slave population (no families allowed) and where anyone accused of belief in God will be tortured and executed immediately. Starvation will be widespread and may be purposefully designed for certain groups. People like Madonna and others in Hollywood and the entertainment industry have fertilized that revolutionary ground..They, like all those who have followed their decadent path, will eventually be judged in the afterlife as we all shall be. Justice on this earth has never been popular because the main supporters of injustice have been those in authority over us who are the main perps of wrong doing as they satisfy their lusts on the backs of the people.We have now reached the place where people do not understand, first of all, the nature of man without God..Second of all, they do not understand that the unforeseen consequences of revolution will not be robbing the rich to give to them..Rather, it will be robbing everyone of everything, even down to the very leaders who brought about the holocaust. Other nations who are much more uncivilized will prevail and take over. Perhaps it is the "circle of life" of blessed nations who become so affluent that the inherent seed of death (political correctness) is activated and the rest will be history to be lived out all over again.
like i said before, when the government arbitrarily chooses what laws it will enforce, i will just as arbitrarily chose which laws i will obey...
I've come to feel the same way. The US now has a clear choice to make. Also, Obama's harsh reality has caused many of us "soft conservatives" to toughen up quite a bit ... and I like the "new me" better than the "old me".
Hopefully America kicks his sorry butt to the curb, but if not I guess I'll just plan on having the police state as my next big customer.
If Obamacare is upheld as Constitutional or Obama does more dictats as he did on “don’t deport young illegals”, the anger will grow.
If he then wins by a suspicious margin, the rage will boil over.
Thanks for the ping.
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Which law?
The moral law, the natural law, the local law, the State law, The federal “law”?
I would say no in their respective cases, as each law is the subject of a different level & area of protection.
